In the process of editing my #btconf images from earlier this week:
I did take 1,641 images in total. 805 were left after the first pass, 406 after the second. Now down to 219 photos. I usually aim for something in the range of 150 or so images. Getting rid of the last 50, is always the hardest part.
Final thing after that will be sequencing. I mostly go with chronological here, but sometimes, moving a couple of images around makes for a more interesting flow.
I am currently reading Austin Kleon‘s “Show your work!” I love the format of the book and it is a quick and entertaining read so far.
Once you make sharing part of your daily routine, you’ll notice themes and trends emerging in what you share. You’ll find patterns in your flow.
This bit especially resonated with me. As I am in the process of (making and) sharing photos daily on my photo blog, I find patterns all the time, certain repeating themes, subjects I am drawn to. This was also the main reason for creating “collections” on the blog – not for others, but to make these patterns more obvious for myself.
I watched the Boris Becker Documentary on Apple TV+ last night. I remember being on this balcony as a kid when he came home after he won Wimbledon in 1985:
He was such a big deal when I was a child, growing up in Leimen, where he is from also. I remember watching many matches and with my dad or my grandparents, featuring Boris’ epic rivalries with Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg and later Michael Stich.
I am glad that the documentary spent more time (about 2/3) on the tennis rather than his financial/business-related issues.
(Side note: How stupid is it, that Apple, Netflix & co. prevent you from taking screenshots? Yeah, pretty stupid!)
