Also, loved dearly.

More photos on flickr.

Since film is expensive and bytes are cheap, the number of shots I took increased dramatically when I made the switch to digital. Generally speaking, I find few shots fit for public release. I’m trying to let go of perfectionism in all areas of my life. This week has granted me some great opportunities to let go of unrealistic expectations.

I keep telling myself that most of the people I know aren’t critiquing the dynamic range, composition, exposure, sharpness, and color saturation of my work. Even when my artistic flaws are noticeable to laypersons, said flaws are hardly unforgivable. Every shot I take makes me a better photographer; ideally, every fuckup makes me a better person as well.

These pictures aren’t perfect: neither am I, nor was my aunt. Hopefully the love, laughter, happiness, and life in these shots overshadows their technical imperfections.
