…why I don’t delete things off my hard drive (hardly ever).
I know, it is something that I need to work on, but I have a really hard time deleting even the most ‘blurry’, ‘blinking’, or ‘hard-to-distinguish-what-it-even-is’ photos…most of the time, they are in fact, just taking up space. And I even had the grand idea of just going into Lightroom, selecting every image that has never seen a flag, star, or color code in its little existence, and pressing the delete key – and I’m not talking about the “remove from Lightroom” option.
But while I was in search for a particular food image on my hard drive, hoping that maybe just maybe I was crafty enough to include it on my travel drive, I came across an image I had never given a second glance…
(the one on the left)
It was one of the very first images taken during the photo shoot (isn’t that always the way?), so I’m sure I just dismissed it as a test shot.
But seeing it now, it really got me inspired.
So I went through a few more of the images, to see what else I’d been missing.
Now, you’re probably wondering – wait, what’s with the ballerina?!…
Yeah, I know – “Stick with food Charity”…this was a shoot I did years ago, back in school, in fact.
Pictured is Trista Kite, a (retired) ballerina – now dance instructor in the Seattle area.
Here are a two that made the cut, even during the first round of editing, still favorites of mine.
Why I had these images on my travel drive and not the food image I was searching for, I don’t know…just fate, I guess.
Gorgeous! I love the shots of just the toe shoes.
