Many years ago, when I was involved with Ansel Adam\u2019s workshops, I was fortunate to hear lectures by many master photographers. One of them was Jerry Uelsmann (<\/span>http:\/\/www.uelsmann.com\/<\/a>\u200b<\/span>), who became a friend and mentor. During his lectures, he would show his work from the past year. Since his work involves compositing many images together, these images including variations he had tried, often with the same objects in different locations or scenes. This overview revealed the progression of Jerry\u2019s creative process during the year. I always felt inspired when seeing many of his slide shows. I often thought I should do this myself each year, in order to assess my year\u2019s efforts, but never got around to it. So now I\u2019ve been doing the annual review annually! The process of self-assessment is a vital part of artistic growth. In the day-to-day rush of life, we don\u2019t often stop to see trends in our image-making. By turning back the clock, we can see if we are stuck in a rut or made great progress. You can add a link to your collection if you wish.
\nKind regards, Bill<\/span><\/p>\n
