I decided to update my website by creating different series of photographs, based more on basic themes, instead of bulking everything into four folders, to avoid having 300 thumbnails to be forced to choose from in the Soul folder, which is simply nudes... the best of, over the last ten years. Even in the "best of" folder, I still included a lot of photos that shouldn't really be in there, to create the illusion of an accomplished body of work, but now, in trying to create a series based on a kind of theme, I'm wanting to include photos that wouldn't even make it into the best of folder, so...
Now I'm knee deep in every photo that I have treated in the last decade and am completely overwhelmed. I've spent all day sorting the folders on my website, which I haven't done in years, and I haven't even gotten to the unsorted folder yet. The only one that is for sure complete is the Teru Teru Bozu page, which is only done because it was already a series. I'm not only swimming in my treated photos, but I'm wanting to go back and look at all the ones I didn't treat, and even retreat the ones I've done. It's nice to completely overhaul everything every couple years, but this is insanity. Just the thousands of photographs I've taken of my wife in the last three years is daunting enough. I don't have much time off to do this stuff, and when I do I don't know where to start.
I'm having a hard time stomaching Whitman.
