Do my photographer friends have a hard time letting go of old captures? I have kept some RAW captures in files many years old thinking, I’ll work these some day. I found these two shots while doing a little house (file) cleaning. I wonder if they’ve always been there or…if they sprouted!


I too have a hoard of old photos that I know I’ll never get back to. I’m on a mission this year to pick the best and throw out the rest. So far, I’m about half way there.
Oh my – you are MUCH further along than I am!
The patterns in those remind more of the hindu body art tattoos – Beautiful. Oh and no I never get rid of old photos
I like the association!
lol they sort of grew in an old folder
Exactly – lol!
Beautiful. I’m so glad they sprouted there hidden in dark storage.
Thank you – me too
Beautiful colors & composition! Like Old Masters.
A nice compliment – thank you
Glad you held on to these
Thank you Madhu – me too!
A few years ago I was experimenting with classical still life oil paintings. It was most enjoyable, but after a while, the longing for abstraction led me away again, to photography.
Your photos here are a mingling of everything I loved: the richness of color and chiaroscuro so satisfying in still lifes, but now made new and alive by broken shapes and unusual juxtapositions that are kinds of abstractions.
I find them immensely satisfying. Thank you for saving them!!!!!!!!
It is always so satisfying for me when someone sees some of the same qualities in a photo that I did.
Yours is one of the nicest comments I’ve received, thank you
