Sunday
[posted at 23:46 GMT]    

So, today is over and I was whole day preparing selection of fifty photographs from whole my work in last five years. It is over 25 000 photos. I made effort in last four weeks, whenever time allowed, to go over all these pictures. I must say it was interesting, but tiring. I came out with around 200 shots. And today I cut it down to 48. I need to print them, only simple direct print in rather low quality. Important is to see composition. I decide to print it on A5 size, two print on one A4 sheet. What happen was interesting after two hour print I run out of ink. So in a middle of the night I start filling cartridges of my epson 2100 with fresh ink. Than you need to wait for some time and I start printing last about 14 sheet just few minutes ago.

Tomorrow I visit Caroline Schroeder and Hape Smeele with these prints and we will make selection of 10-15 final prints.
As I mentioned earlier in this journal, all this is kind of preparation for making portfolio of my work in last five-six years. There was also idea of Caroline to make solo exposition. That would be my first solo in The Netherlands. I must say, somehow I have feeling that I do like to make different work now and my older stuff is not the best I can make and maybe is not the thing I like to present now. I need to think more about it and hopefully tomorrows visit will clear my mind in this topic.
