I appreciate both comments from a fellow occasional over-thinker.<br /><br />In my defense, I never had any intention of changing the way I was handling things. Still, I get curious sometime as to whether the personal rules I am making up are standard, after all.

I suppose that is a good thing. Since I am my own editor, that is interesting to me. <br /><br />In my case, there were pieces that came from photographs taken a while ago, but all the processing reflected my current way of seeing.

Doesn't matter when I created it, but generally it will have been in the last year. <br /><br />My work is also shown thematically.

It does make sense to me that new work adds a bit of excitement to the venture. I also found that the idea of having a show (tiny and insignificant as it was) fired up my creativity—or at least productivity.Anita Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671820780634003286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-34429630697634685902011-10-21T08:31:01.459-07:002011-10-21T08:31:01.459-07:00Anita which site? most of the short posts and non ...Anita which site? most of the short posts and non important photos are going to http://rlketcham.posterous.com/<br /><br />The rlketcham.com I am using for essays and the longer thoughts on art and photography.

In my case, I didn't have a gallery owner to please—just myself; but, the reasoning makes sense. You might could stretch definitions and say I had a theme. After all, the show was predominately equine studies. Of course, that is true of most pieces I show.anita jessehttp://ajesse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-75323946706497325242011-10-20T17:50:37.675-07:002011-10-20T17:50:37.675-07:00Anita

I work normally on projects so have a series of images that are loosely related to one another in most cases. This is how I plan for a show. For a serious show I have found it works better than a lot of images that seem to be all over the place, that and the gallery owners in most cases want the this type of show.Ray Khttp://www.rlketcham.comnoreply@blogger.com
