Well, I am still exploring, looking for direction, vision and a unique perspective. Am I the only one that pretty much hates everything I shoot? I can tear any one of my images apart and struggle to really find anything that I feel 100% happy with but I will carry on...
This is the continuation of the series of images that I made while traveling with my (vey patient) wife in England and France in February of 2015. These were all made on a Rolleiflex 2.8f on Fuji Acros film.

Scott - you are not alone, but I find your images very imaginative. I know what works for me - put them in a drawer and come back in a few weeks or month, pull them out and see how you feel then...or, just send the prints you don't like to me, but for gods sake, don't tear them up. And forget 100% satisfaction. Shoot for 75%.

My usual Rolleiflex automat tessar but with portra 160. Didn't take a ton of photos as I was there to drive.

I think this is particularly well seen.
But I presume you are asking if I hate everything I shoot.
No, but I am very critical of myself and I do like taking more control over the lighting as opposed to 100% strictly found light all the time. I found a video that may be relevant:
and here are some great lighting pdf's

I think everything I shoot is the greatest thing ever. At least for a little while. And then I hate it. But that next photo, man, the one I haven't made yet, I'm telling you, that's going to be the one! :-) Seriously, I really like those Tim, especially those first two, which, I must say, show a pretty unique perspective. Definitely carry on!

California Live Oak, one of the most beautiful trees. I passed this tree numerous times and every time I said, "I need to take my good camera to photograph this." Now I did.
