"Do you look for mistakes, and get rid of them? Or do you look for good stuff to hold on to?"

An interesting and different way of looking at editing.

"From the beginning I'd been suspicious of "rules," but editing by negation sneaked a bunch of stupid rules right past me and into my practice. To edit by fault-finding is to encase yourself in foregone conclusions—you might as well be insisting on The Rule of Thirds, or Single Center of Interest—but to edit as an exploration of the take for what actually worked, for what you found that you didn't already know, is a voyage of discovery. It's a crucial difference."

Some of my best shots have been what "those" would call technically a train wreck. I do what is called accidentally on purpose. I intentionally shoot over and under exposed shots. Do lighting through a backdrop with no fill. The more "mistakes" I make as a photographer and a person, makes me more creative and find out more about myself in the process.
