Last year on clerkmanifesto I showed hundreds, possibly even thousands of pictures. In reviewing them for today's retrospective I ran across the usual feelings I encounter when I look over my creations:
1. Horror at how awful some of them were.
2. Delight in the good ones.
3. A conviction that if I just left it at the good ones, the impact would have been ten times greater.
4. Total and abject confusion as to what constitutes "A good one".
In the end, I have no idea about any of it, or my idea fluctuates like a compass at the magnetic north pole. So I decided I'd better come up with some rules to get this walk down memory lane under control.
1. It's a review, so each month must be sequentially represented.
2. A full representation of styles should be prioritized over my inclination to just show 250 fox and skunk pictures.
3. A strict diet of two pictures a month maximum must be stuck to, or today's post will be overwhelmed.
4. The pictures can speak for themselves. I've already talked enough about them through the year.
5. I am allowed to cheat one time to get a good picture in or save a bad month.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
