"tough" questions will have that effect ;-)

One of my favorite quotes (don't know who said it) went something like...

I hear you about the mix of subject matter... I would get tired of shooting 1,000 variations on a green pepper.

Interesting about the your comment regarding post processing. I guess it's kind of like going back and reshooting the subject based on earlier results... which has it's value in (maybe) helping one to see things differently while looking through the finder. Both approaches have their benefit.

Funny thing about the number of keepers. This trip I tried a few different (for me) approaches... shooting ISO1600 color film, subject matter, etc. I found that as I scanned my way through a roll of film, I got better with that (new to me) approach or technique in the later images. Not a big surprise I guess, but it was obvious. In fact it's one of my take aways from the shoot. The trick is to skip the experience of the first few frames in each roll

"...more measured and 'pre-composed'..." is the way you put it... and that's how I might categorize your recent images... hahaha

Made me think and look back. Have to say , I can hardly tell any difference (street/travel photography is concerned) since the years gone by. As u rightly pointed out, some of these were "classic" shots that follows the rule book. The recent slew of abstr...
