Since trying to organize the gallery section a little better I have found myself unsure of how I should categorize my own work. The following image was exposed around 1995, but it hasn’t been printed since until a couple of weeks ago, when I printed it as a gift for the model.  So should it go in old work or portraits?

And for my readers out ther like Hud . . . it was exposed on 400 tmax with my Nikon 6006, which was my first “real” camera (i.e. slr).

    Thats not you, thats a lady. A very manish lady.

    I’d put it in Portraits. But, I guess it depends on what you want Old Work to represent. If it is meant to provide a venue for understanding how your art has changed and how it has remained the same, then this should go there. If its meant to be a catch-all for things that don’t exactly fit anywhere else, then it should go in Portraits. Either way you might consider a naming convention that includes that year the picture was taken (and/or when the image was created; in case you decide to take an original image and mess with it significantly).

    Sometimes I forget what Uncle Gorjus used to look like, I don’t have a lot of photos from that time frame. Cool shot, btw.
