Projects followed two different paths
The Labyrinth - The location is the same, I make changes to the subject.
Academy Street - The location is the same, I record changes made to the subject.
Making changes versus recording changes
5“I want to photograph situations where the viewer has two ways to get through a photograph, through light or through darkness.”

506 Hanging on to the Past
Plimsol Lines, Ferry Boat
I’m still suffering through the Curse of the Archives (See posts 492 and 500) and struggling with the following thought; “If my old photographsare so bad, why am I hanging on to them?” Those really ugly bad photographs are taking up storage space I could use for something else.Why haven’t these old photographs already met their demise in some potlatch? What makes these bad images so powerful they have yet tobe dispatched to the great trash heap in the sky? Is their sole photographic use is as a bad example? Or am I hanging on to them becausethey are visual memories of an old man? I am only beginning to look for an answer to this question. Maybe this is just another way ofpostponing the eventual task of disposing of truly horrible photographs.
Brooks Jensen (of LensWork fame) posits that once he goes into the great ink maintenance tank in the sky, his children will sell all hisphotographs at an estate sale for fifty cents…a box. I have complete faith and confidence the estate sale of my photographs will be quiteprofitable because people will want to buy either the storage boxes or the frames holding my old photographs.
Did you notice that I did not mention anything about unused photographic equipment? It’s like none of us have any spare photo gear lyingabout the house, right? I’ll deal with that idea later.
