Your objectives appear...You have in no way failed. Your objectives appear to be more clarified than before. When you refer to a thief casing the joint. You are correct and You are all the wiser and will be better prepared and your work will surely show that in the end... <BR/><BR/>And yes... possible to be energized and diappointed at the same, it helps clarify a direction and a purpose!!!

I'm sorry you didn't get the photos you'd hoped for, but I don't think it's failure. As you said, you were like a thief casing the joint. Now you can go back better informed, and you'll get much better results than if you had started with a long trip, not knowing what you wanted. It's all part of the process.<BR/><BR/>Also, check out Jen's link over on <A HREF="http://www.personism.com/2007/06/17/interesting-elsewhere/" REL="nofollow">Personism</A> to <A HREF="http://inkcapture.com/blog/?p=79" REL="nofollow">Alison Grippo's comments</A> about the Magnum portfolio review yesterday. Quoting Alison, in part: "The experience made me feel normal, like what I was doing was the way to do it. That everything you do to create something is the right way to create it. You can make it better, you can 'bust it open,' you can constantly revise and revisit but your process is your process and it’s how it should be. That part of this is about just being honest, simple, curious, and sincere—and that creates not just good work, but a better self."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
