I’ve been thinking about those photos. You know the ones. Those photos that aren’t your favorites. The ones that you like to some extent, but that you picked apart, noticing all the things you didn’t like about them. Those photos that got buried in your computer or in your stack of negatives or prints because they didn’t quite make the “A side” of the album. Yeah, those photos.

I’ve been thinking about those photos. And since I got to thinking about them, I started trolling through my Polaroid scans to see what really lurked there. You know what I found? I found that I liked those photos more than I originally thought.

I liked the vibrancy of this iris, even with the light leak across the top…

I liked the moodiness of these stars in black and white, even if it’s a bit under-exposed…

I liked the washed out, beat-up, old chairs, even with the not-so-spot-on framing…

I liked the nostalgic feel of these jars, even if they are blown out by the backlighting…

So yeah. I’ve been thinking about those photos. And I remembered that there are often some gems on the “B side” of the album.
