d'oh! totally forgot to link to the RSVP page, thanks for making me realize that. Just added the link in the body of the text and here it is too: https://lu.ma/processwalk2
Love the connection you made with music and sequencing. I used to work in music too and have often thought about how building a track listing for an album is the same as photo sequencing; working to achieve the right balance of ebbs and flow.
This sounds like possibly the most fun part of the process. I just ordered 400 dirt cheap prints for my "food and love" book. That's one big old sorting and paring down process ahead, but I am stoked for it! I suppose I could have edited down some on the computer and then printed, but I felt strongly I wanted to do this part analog, let the images talk to me in physical form. The idea of finding pairings is very enticing!
This is such a helpful series so far. Any suggestions on how I can keep my mind on my vision and not get derailed by the pictures themselves and my (emotional) connection to them?
Thank you! Spread the word :) it really helps when it's warm recommendations or social shares in terms of growing the community and the impact :)
And to answer your question, that's when you start showing other people the pictures and tell them about the theme. And the killing your darlings section of the last issue in combination with that helps!
I'm curious why you say that you realized that the majority of your book would include pairings. Because that's what your process told you, the images as you saw them once printed and laid out called for pairings? Or did you decide on pairings first and sort through and curate the images to create them. I am curious of that part of your process.
What a great series this set becomes. Really valuable lessons in sequencing. Am very inspired by your half-frame approach.
Where can I sign up for the Process Photowalk on May 5th? Would live to join.

And thank you for the kind words!

Excited for you Leah!

Thank you for the help. It helps. I'm off to kill a few more darlings. Maybe I'll be able to use them somewhere else.
absolutely! they're never lost, just waiting
Oh, I like this even better. No more killing, just putting them aside for something better. Thanks!
Great advice. Especially no.3 - the editing notes on the small print itself is something
I will use in future projects. Sounds helpful and practical! Thank you!
So glad to hear that Susanne!
Coupling images can be interesting and easy to display in a book context, but often static, incomplete or even boring
Thanks George
You’re welcome

It was the former!
Thx. Good luck with it all.
