I like to use summertime to catch up on my photography. Hot, sunny days do not inspire me out of doors. Instead this is the time of year where I would rather hunker inside and spent the hot, daylight hours catching up on the backlog of images I make that never does anything but grow longer. Today was spent editing several recent scans, most of which were associated with Portland Grid Project explorations. Since I was spending the afternoon perusing/editing/mulling over images I figured it might as well be on my To Do list to make a post. None of the stuff I was working on quite caught my fancy in that regard (though I did polish off several images that will be fun to share with the upcoming Grid meeting next week) so I revisited my library of images long since cataloged away. I have a bit over 4500 images up here on Flickr but a bit under 18,000 images tucked away in my library of "finished" photos. So that means about 75% of the work I work on never gets seen by anyone other than me. But even many of those images often escape my eye for long periods of time and as they say, out of sight out of mind. Suffice it to say, even I forget many of the photos I tuck away, even though they are photos I may quite like. Such as this image of a passing storm over Palouse Falls canyon. Those clouds that day were amazing and while the storm never found us tiny humans standing on the edge of that vast canyon, it was quite an experience to be on the edge of it and watch it lumbering by. So I dipped into my history a bit today to pull this image out. I guess in a sense you could say these are photos I save for sunny days.
