Retrospective

Retrospective is an ongoing personal project of reflection & renewal.

This project has come about after I suffered an IT setback when my computers onboard SSD drive failed, I realised that my archive of images which are stored on conventional external computer hard drives were vulnerable to a similar fate. Fortunately, this hasn’t happened and even more fortuitous as part of my Amazon Prime subscription I have unlimited cloud photo storage, I have now copied all my images over to it, so I now have multiple backups of all my work.

It was while carrying out this backup that I started looking over my old work and realised just how far my photo editing skills & style of work has evolved over the past decades. With this realisation I decided to start re-editing my work but to make it even more of a challenge I can only edit in monochrome (black & white). I decided to add this constraint because I wanted to bring a new perspective on my past work that I hadn’t considered at the time I made it.
