I tend to forget about my photos once too much time had passed, so today I deliberately dug into the archive from my korea trip a couple months ago. It is an interesting experience: trying to curate a set of photos – what is the criteria for my selection? I don’t have a concrete idea myself. Perhaps it is some intuitive algorithm of interestingness that exists in my mind.
I think that is what makes art and photography profound. Essentially they are a form of wordless communication. I select a bunch of photos based on what I think I would like to share, and the way you may resonate or respond to them is probably nothing like what I’ve intended. There is some sort of bridging, nevertheless.
I wonder how can I be more intentional about the photos I’ve taken. They are after all taken with some consideration. I’ve stored them carefully like a treasured possession, but probably due to adhd it is difficult for me to remember them.
