Ronald, I love paths also - they give a leading line and are a human element that provides a story. Beautiful images.

Thank you James. Yeah this time those paths really caught my attention!

Nice job! I do agree, trying to sequence on a laptop, or desktop is murder. And you miss the tactile bit, which is the best part!

Hm yes, good point. Maybe I should give it a try :)

Do I wonder while I wander? Easier question: do I ever not? No!

A similar trick that essay writers do: print a draft of the essay on paper, cut it up into single paragraphs, and then arrange and shuffle them around on the floor. It works! You see associations and sore thumbs that you never would have caught otherwise. I haven't tried it yet with photos, but I'll bet it works just as fantastically well. I plan on printing contact sheets (with large enough thumbnails) and cutting those up with scissors. It will be fun!

Yes cutting up a contact sheet should work just as well! Good suggestion, thanks :)

Another thought: try some ICM in the forest. With a bit of practice, you can get some really amazing results.

ICM is my typical 'if-nothing-works' failsafe, but maybe I should treat it with a bit more respect. I like doing it!
