It’s a gloomy, rainy day in Brooklyn, which makes me wish I were back in California. Since I can’t, and won’t be physically going there anytime soon, the best I can do is go back through the photographs. I’ve made a habit of reviewing the archives after long dry spells just to see if my perspective on the photographs has changed. I’m sensing this going back never really ends. I’m even having my back up CDs mailed to me so I can review them again. I know for certain there are a few images I deleted from the computer that I now need again.
Aside from reviewing the photographs, I like to work on processing and going back seems to be a good way to practice. Will I re-consider these for ‘The Electric Sunshine Velocity Trip’? Maybe. Since the project only lives online at this point, tinkering is fairly easy. But at some point in the not to distant future, I’d like to close the book on these photographs. Is that really possible? Or will the photographs always keep coming back to you? If not for artistic purposes, because of nostalgia?
