I'd be interested in how you make your editorial decisions. I can eliminate the real chaff and select the very few really good ones but can never really judve the bulk of the just good work.
I appreciate the candor and tone with which you write your newsletters. It’s refreshing to read how-to with “nuts and bolts” (and warts and all). Thanks!
Just what I needed today. I had an idea that's been stewing for a while, and this is the nudge I needed to get my plan together with a deadline. THANKS!
Thank you for this post. At the end of each year I curate and edit my images to pick the top 10-12. I have been considering creating books of my best of year images but have not taken the plunge yet. I would like to hear about your process of design and production for a book. Perhaps this will nudge me past my hesitancy.
My moment of truth with my photography came when I decided to have two shows in the same year. These were my first shows and this was the year. Besides needing to have my head examined in making this decision, the real deadlines to produce prints drove me to cut my Lightroom catalogue in half and narrow down my four-star images to a manageable small number. I still do not have a five-star image, maybe in 2022. In the process, I was able to refine my creative voice - something I have struggled with for years. Yes, I am better at this kind of image, than that. This subject draws me more than that one. Once my second show is over (soon, whew!) I will be taking my camera out with a refreshed vision. It is worth the work and making all those prints, especially the ones that made their way to the trash.

Thanks. That was very useful and helpful. I'd be interested in some tech details -- jpg vs pdf formats, paper options, production software, etc.
Which program did you use to create your lay-out?
Thanks. You've provided some excellent information.
