The weirdest thing about being a Getty Image contributor is that they keep picking the shots I put on flickr mostly because they were nice, careless snapshots from my travel. Most of them I almost didn’t upload in the first place, the rest I was about to remove because they’re not that interesting in my opinion.

The One-Gig Card Challenge - by Derek Shapton
When I used to edit from contact sheets, the good shots would literally leap off the page, like when you see your name misspelled in a field of text. I’d check those frames with a loupe, ignore the rest, and get on with my life. I could breeze through a whole editorial portrait shoot, five or ten contacts, in like ten minutes. Five sheets, that’s, lets see… sixty frames. Wait a second, what? If I was to shoot just 60 frames now, I’d feel like I was slacking off. I tend to churn through eight gigs at least, 280 to 300 shots and usually many more, even on the simplest jobs. It’s just so easy to snap away, and that’s what bites you in the ass.
But has my photography improved with all those extra images? I would argue not. If anything, it’s diluted the faith I have in my photographic convictions. I used to work much more thoughtfully, knowing that I had a mere dozen frames available before I had to change backs. I would see something and then decide, no, I’m not going to waste this next shot — a thought that almost never crosses my mind anymore. Granted, I sometimes get great stuff that I never would have with a more careful approach, but for the most part I’m just generating garbage disguised as pictures.
The conversation with Raina concluded with some joking around about how maybe it was time to start shooting jobs in something akin to the “old way” again, ie. by taking a single one gig card to the shoot, and then just stopping when it was full. That’s still 36 frames or so, a decent number of shots ten years ago, but good luck selling that to the client.
So here’s the challenge. On your next assignment, take a one gig card, and nothing else. When it’s full, stop shooting! You might be surprised by what you learn. Just don’t tell your client that I put you up to it.

Holy shit it’s been 5 years already! Seems like I was still living in Singapore a couple of years ago in my mind.

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
This baby crocodile seemed to have mistaken a giant hippo for a rock, lying across it to bask in the sun. Even when the hippo began to move, the young crocodile didn’t get the hint and remained in position. The three ton beast apparently didn’t seem bothered by the reptile on its back, and gave it 15-minute piggy back ride in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.Picture: Richard Millar/BNPS.co.uk (via Animal pictures of the week: 6 April 2012 - Telegraph)
