I don't know how a body of work can be represented in that case. Editing the three you submit becomes very important, but one really isn't getting a good representation of what the photographer is doing -Kayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904817373750059859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531165670510063369.post-50319445621633197642008-02-20T21:24:00.000-05:002008-02-20T21:24:00.000-05:00I just posted a blog about editing oneself then I came across this posting. I fully agree with you brutally editing oneself. <A HREF="http://bradcarlile.com/blog/?p=367" REL="nofollow">http://bradcarlile.com/blog/?p=367</A>. Everyone who has been showing work for a while knows this. You even see us using the same words.<BR/><BR/>I also agree with your comments on "singular vision" as well. I often relate it to music. An great album or a live show is made of work that all ties together somehow. ...and if you have more than one good song or shot, it isn't boring.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14159162778194831443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531165670510063369.post-9883624302893048922008-02-20T15:32:00.000-05:002008-02-20T15:32:00.000-05:00Anonymous.

I've also participated as a judge in photo competitions and to my mind, the most important factor, as you mention, is to show one, strong body of work rather than sample from various styles. Nothing turns off judges faster than seeing one riveting image followed by something in a whole different mode. Next!Joe Holmeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08741278269759513642noreply@blogger.com
