The Edit
Cutting four hundred down to twenty-four. Four entries on what an edit removes and in what order — and on why the frames a photographer defends hardest are usually the ones carrying the memory of the day rather than the picture.
4 entries
- 1.1The ones you love go firstThe frames a photographer is attached to are usually attached to the memory of taking them, not to what is in them. An edit that survives is one where somebody else cannot tell which were difficult.
- 1.2Editing against a questionA body of work needs something it is trying to answer before it can be cut.
- 1.3The second passTime between passes does more than any method.
- 1.4Killing the obviousThe picture that explains the project usually flattens it.
