Really solid retrospective, the culling discipline is impressive. The way the August subway shot captures that ambiguous moment (doors opening vs closing) shows how much editingskill matters after the shoot. I've started being more ruthless with my selections lately too, and it's wild how much better a small curated set looks compared to showing everything. That ratio of 4,600 frames down to 12 keepers feels about right for getting to real quality.
What nice words!!! Thanks a lot, and yeah. It was Kinda hard to reduce this to 12. When I wrote this post, I was like 3 hours into the computer, just killing photos in my Lightroom library. Coincidentally or not, these are the pictures I actually most enjoy, and it's not a coincidence that I have articles about them or including them. Thanks for your very adorable comment, and happy holidays!
