I don’t think that I can ever finish a project. That doesn’t mean that I will never reach a stopping point, or reaching a point where the work is ready to be shared with others. It’s just that I keep finding new images to add to an existing project. Most of my projects are in one place at a specific time to tell a story. I complete the story and publish the project. Later, I find additional images that are part of the same project. This happened a lot when I was using multiple formats. I have large format negatives and 35-millimeter negatives of the same place. I recently found a few negatives from an already completed project. There are not enough rediscovered images for their own project, but I “finished” the project they should have been in.
The great thing about distributing your work as PDFs on a website is that you can always revise what has been published by adding new images. That can't be done with a photograph on the wall exhibit.
This late arrival is now included in "A Place to Fish" in the July 2021 issue of The Lipka Journal.
