Images from limbo.

I'm glad I went bald in my early twenties it saved me the trouble of having to tear it out these days when I'm editing photos. I can never decided which in a sequence is best, or if a photo is okay or not in the first place.

I've have a whole selection of photos that I have yet to get prints made of, for now the negatives are just sitting in a drawer gathering dust, they just don't have a certain spark that makes me drag them out. At the same time there is something about them that stays in the back of my mind.

They remain in a strange limbo, waiting to be reviewed and choosen.

I have so many of these images waiting in editing limbo, I could do an image a day blog and run out of photos in about six months, but there is enough crap out there on the internet already, without me adding to it.

Here for the first time I thought I'd show some of these images, I'm 50/50 undecided about.
Actually I like this image it's a dramatic moment but I don't display it in public as many people are offended by it, to me it's about contrast of culture with three different woman, a Muslim, a busy career type, and a sexist poster. My intention is not racist or sexist.

I probably have more images that some people may find offensive or morally grey that I just keep in drawer.
Such as the two images above.
I like the way she's on her tip toes embracing him, it's just not very original.


I have a few man mimicking enviroment images already, I just don't know if there good enough.

This one people might think I set up, but he was a tourist that I snapped when he was in conversation.
Meh I just don't know.
This I keep going back to this, maybe a bit too randomThe pope, Jesus, and santa clause, and two angry people. A very Irish scene, I like it but something holds me back from the darkroom and getting a print done.
This as well.
The same as this. Which I sort of think is okay but the rangefinder parralax error pisses me off, I saw more of the kid picking his nose in the viewfinder.
I have a gazzillion poster images, it seems just a bit of a cliche at this stage.
I have a similair image to this except in Black and White, although this could be the better version.
These two really have me frustrated.
The two people walking behind the men in the foreground annoy me.
One of the first photos from my 21mm Voightlander.

Well that's it for now, this is my first blog post since the death of uber, I haven't really been motivated to post anything recently. Also the death of Uber highlights the impermance of digital media versus analogue.

I could post hundreds more images that I'm undecided about, but any feedback would be apreciated, am I too picky?

I'll upload anouther set of rejected photos when I get back from London.
