Ack

Damn, that last post was clunky. I actually signed on to blog tonight to solicit your advice one last time. I have 17 candidates for a final portfolio. I'd like to whittle it down to a final 13 or 14. Here the three decisions I need to make.

First, I have six pictures that have a dark tone to them, either taken at night or featuring silhouettes or both. I think four would be a good number for the final cut. Now in all of these considerations, keep in mind that variety is important: variety of subject, composition, perspective, tones — as Justin Glasson put it, any redundancy must be struck, Trimble-style.

So, the six (slideshow):

the stairs to nowhere

max and brooke at the gallery (alt)

la casita pool

matt on overpass walkway

gordon silhouettes alternate

church on the drag


Okay, then there's my portraits. Four under consideration. I think three would be appropriate for the set.

The four (slideshow):

aileen piano

nick wistful

rachel

susan newspapers sepia


Finally, I'm wondering if I should include this picture, mainly because it demonstrates I can shoot a bland assignment and come away with something interesting:

zig's fan

Okay, and that'll do it. I've stayed up, oh, two hours two late, again!
