How I go about my own photography I generally like to go out alone to do my photography - it is a concentrated, meditative process - often involving waiting for long periods for the right conditions (clouds, sunlight, lack of people) to arise. Patience is vital - and a willingness to 'be' with what is. Some days nothing quite seems to work, but at other times - especially in exceptional weather conditions like frost and fog - there seem to be great photos everywhere. So take a tip from the Boy Scouts - 'be prepared' - with lots of film! My tip for this issue is to keep some distance between the 'taking' and 'printing' stages of the process. That way, I don't have such an emotional investment in the taking of the photo, and can look at it more objectively. Also, by processing my film in batches, I can save some time.
