Selecting


One time when John O’Brien and I were talking about ideas for a show, he suggested I bring in several boxes of prints and put them on a table so people could look through my photos on their own. I’ve always liked that idea. It sounds particularly good now as I’m trying to select twenty or so photos for a show at Dolphin that opens in eleven days.
I thought I knew what I was doing. In my mind I could see the show. The pictures, inspired by talks with my mother, are about trying to make visual a tie we both feel with this town’s social and physical landscape. But selecting pictures is very different from taking them and if my topic was admittedly fuzzy it left a lot of openings for photographing.
The problem with selecting is that once it’s done, it’s done – with taking there’s always tomorrow.
