I agree that the initial journey is filled with excitement.. i also find it quite terrifying.. but i dont go back straight away.. after a good break I can see that some things just dont work.. and then im also surpised by what happens.. its a rediscovery.. its like getting to yr know yr partner intimately after those initial frantic, nervous encounters..<br />ive heard people compare it to hacking out a piece of granite.. then the editing is molding it into shape.. i do like editing because i can feel it getting better with each change.. it is more mechanical, no doubt, but i would say (almost) as important..Anthony J.

You've not sure where you're going but you have a lot of fun getting there. Editing is like repeating the trip because you lost your camera and all your travel photos. You take pictures in the same place, but no matter how you pose, they don't seem to capture the original emotion.Graham Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430135062211828206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661117100748148070.post-73265952257571214372010-05-03T06:39:35.521-07:002010-05-03T06:39:35.521-07:00Congrats on finishing the first draft Graham.

Come back refreshed and ready to hack.<br /><br />The online stuff sounds interesting too.Anthony J. Langfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027216695415849158noreply@blogger.com
