March 13, 2009: A Man on a Bench on the Boardwalk
Here's a shot I found in the 2006 archives-- I don't think I've used it before. I've dug all the way back to 2005. It's a humbling process-- I can't believe some of the stuff I put online in those days. But it's definitely making me realize how much my shooting and editing has improved. Joe once quoted someone saying that it takes at least ten years of practice to become even passably good at photography. So maybe I'm halfway there.

Almost!

I really like this photograph. It reminds me of how in the middle of a land that has so much, there are still those who have so little.
Almost 2!!

I like the splash of red in the upper left and then repeated on the guy's jacket. Otherwise, photos of a lone person looking lonely in the big city is a bit cliche.
What a great shot of a most wonderful mural. I love murals and have one painted on the cement wall in our backyard. Good job!

I know exactly what you are talking about Jake. As a photographer I usually never realize these things until someone points it out, or like you, I go back into the archives. You do have some great stuff however, like the blog man!
I completely forgot that ten-year theory until you mentioned it. I think it came from a screenwriting book years ago, but it seems very current what with Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers."
If the rule is accurate, I'm halfway there, too.
Hey what did you change? I've tried posting here many times over the past months and something always hung me up.
