What To Wear

If you’re like me, the “what should I put on,” conundrum that you have when the occasion arises, usually ends up with the same result: I put on what I always put on when I’m unsure of what to wear. So, I often wind up wearing the thing I wore the last time (but only, of course, if it’s a different crowd of people from the last time!) because once I put it on, I don’t have to think about it anymore.

Of course, if you look like this (taken at the runway show of the fashion designer, Maria Cornejo),

the “what should I put on” question brings a whole new and totally different dimension to the problem.

So, when the time came for me to choose which photos to put on to my new website, (beautifully designed by Rima Grad), I was caught between the real world of my own making (the photos I had on last time) or the problems that a Maria Cornejo model might have, which is, “so many choices! What to do”!

My old favorite photos were just that: old. Not that there is anything wrong with old, as I’ve come to learn…..

(perhaps more on the age subject in another blog. Then again, maybe not) .

In the end, I did wind up putting on some of my old favorites and adding some of my new ones, all the while limiting myself to keep each category under a self-imposed number of photos. Any photographer and artist will tell you that editing her work is the hardest part of any presentation. Not putting in your beloved babies….

Can cause a fair amount of angst and even a little guilt.

Keeping another photo out because it is not as wonderful as the other one that is similar but maybe better, or maybe has been seen too much….

Causes me to reconsider, too many times....but the editor in me persists, and it stays out.

And how about my beloved trees? I love them all! How difficult it was for me to leave this one out:

In the end, I made my choices, and I’m stickin’ with ‘em, all the while knowing that the others, the ones that didn’t make the team, are sitting on the bench, waiting their turn.
