My whole life I’ve been a cat person. Recently, however, I’ve found myself wondering if I’m actually more of a dog person (who also really loves cats). The reality is that I haven’t had a ton of exposure to dogs and when I was a kid, a few of my friends had dogs that scarred the shit out of me, which put a bad taste in my mouth towards them.
In a similar fashion, my entire career as a photographer, I’ve been a bulk shooter. Coming up in the digital era and doing work at events and photojournalism assignments, it was always beneficial to shoot more than you think you need. Then, as my career developed and I began doing mostly commercial assignments, the same approach applied — maximize the output! Lately, however, I’ve been wondering if there’s actually a better way to go about things; to slow it down and focus on just the best images.
More on this tomorrow…

Do you ever wonder about how orderly-society is a construct and we’re just a few bureaucratic government agencies away from absolute chaos? This stop sign, leaning up against an old house, makes me think that. I may need to visit the state psychiatric center to get my brain checked out.
