The mass of the 20%

Yesterday, I talked about the 20% of photos that don’t immediately qualify as worthless (79%) or as “keepers” (brr word) (1%).

Picture editing is a little horror

Editing photos is difficult for me. Bad is bad, and very good is also clear. Where it gets difficult is the unclear 20%. The feeling of missing just that one good image forces you to rethink the whole set.

I’m falling more and more for these kinds of images. Empty spaces, desolate people staring ahead at nothing.
