Finally got convinced to submit some images to an exhibition (gosh cafe is such a piece of antiquated frustration). The topic is “landscape photography” so I feel comfortable submitting things that I don’t feel all that connected to artistically (as in, they don’t (yet) represent what I feel I want to say), but it’s good to realize I’ve developed a voice/style and more importantly process that seems to work.
The process is pretty trivial: always carry a camera, take a picture of everything that triggers something, and aim for quantity (at home I try to shoot 10 per day of stuff I’ve photographed a million times before, when traveling / in a new environment, I aim for 2-3 rolls (ie 150+).
What I have no idea about: final print sizes. Most of the images are half frame pushed at 2 stops , so the resolution is obv abysmal, but great for postcard format which is my favorite. Exhibitions I’ve seen here usually have huge formats, so I wonder how that will fare. I did file the sunset as 20x30” because it’s digital and the subject matter can withstand the bombast. But I like the subtlety much more.

@mnl wonderful studies in saturation and color uniformity. it's great to see film being used again, there's so much realness.
