I’m ashamed to admit this. As a photographer it’s pretty egregious.
This weekend I sat down at my computer and emptied the memory cards on my cameras for the first time in a while.
I mean QUITE a while… as in there were photos from LAST YEAR at this time on the one camera still.
But, I have to say, it was really an interesting feeling. Being so disconnected from the moment of creating the photographs let me view the photos through a different lens, with a different perspective.
And having the cards all cleared and formatted again was a revitalizing feeling of “Starting Fresh”.
These are a few favorites from last winter that I made while exploring the outskirts of a few different small towns here in Northern Minnesota.

If I’ve had ‘a daytrip’ I might upload the cards contents that night. The rest of the time I may be shooting something every day but the card doesn’t get looked at for about a week at a time. I learned that patience shooting lots of film over the last two years. Although the film gear is all gone I’m happy to keep that delayed gratification.
Absolutely makes sense. However I think I took it a little TOO extreme by letting things sit there for a full year! hahaha
