In the beginning I would edit all my photos and typically create some monochrome images out of most of the images. I regret creating so many monochromes right after a photo outing because it was just to get the pictures done, upload them to the website with the hopes of a print sale, and then quickly move onto the next thing.
Many times I go back through those images and the monochrome edits are not what I would do today. It's a rushed version and mostly a monochrome edit copied and pasted from another scene in the set. It's as if I threw my work out to the world without much thought.
Yesterday I was going through a batch of photos from one particular location in Henning, TN. At the time I edited them I thought they were OK, but I wasn't in love with the captures. As I looked back on them yesterday I felt they were little treasures that had been overlooked. There was even one particular photo that was perfect for a conversion to add to my Blue Series Gallery.
What I have learned is to slow down and not be in such a hurry to edit and get finished with everything. It's best to leave things sit a while and come back.
