Camera Position 179 : Embracing the Almost

All of us make photographs that, for some reason, don't quite work, even though we had high hopes for them. If we embrace those photographs that almost worked, but didn't, we can find some tools to help us improve and grow.

Blue & Red Paint - if only I'd realized that it was the faded paint that I was most interested in and not the decoration, I might have moved in closer for a more abstract image in this "almost" photograph. Blue Door - Of course I see now that it was the blue door that attracted me and not the carved details of the door. But I didn't see that then and I have this "almost" image to remind me to be clear about my intention.
