I think that this sheet was helpful in the process of organizing my thought process when editing my photos. I like that the author called editing the creating of meaning. The author sttted out by talking about the photo taking process and about how taking a photo I see a house and that it is an expression of value.
The article then went on to talk about the methods of the photo editing process. It talked about how to make a good proof sheet and it also talked about how important it is to print out the proof sheet in order to see how the photos will print. This helps the artist to gage how the photos will be printed on larger scales. When I read this I kind of thought that it is a waste of paper to print out all the proofs but then I thought about the fact that I have had to re print my larger photos because they didn't turn out how I wanted. So, maybe next time I should print out proofs.
The author talked about how important it is to take time to make a descent proof sheet so that you can really look through and edit all of your photos. The article also talked about the fact that you cannot just take the perfect photos but sometimes it is in the imperfections where the beauty lies. the process of making images is very different from evaluating and editing them but the initial edit is choosing what to capture. When taking a photo you want to show your intention in a photo without being too obvious or being too mysterious.
Overall I found this handout very helpful in organizing my plan for editing my photos.
