One of things I'm learning is not to judge too fast, or too harshly.

The significant consequence of this habit is that after some period of time passes, I am confronted with some evidence of productivity, and of progress, and of the accumulation of a body of work. See, if I throw out every single piece I work on that doesn't satisfy me in some way, I would have exactly zero works left.
Today, after doing the spring cleaning, I actually felt somewhat pleased about what I've done in the past year. I can see the progress. I can see some directions to go. I have enough things in the file that I actually need to see about a new file. This is very encouraging. It flips the bird in the face of my inner critic, which is good.

I'm generally not much into the "emergent things" category, but I love this one. Part of the appeal of this one for me, I think, is that it feels sizeless. Like in some ways, I feel like the little ball is microscopic and other ways it feels like a planet.
i like these. they do have an 'emergent' feel, but not entirely as we can see all of each of the items.
neat work.
a flash with a diffuser will help make your paper look whiter....
Regan - I'm glad you like it, I like it too. It is different from the others. I'll probably do more like this.
OneFaller - Thanks! You're right, and more obscuring is probably going to work better. Next time... Do you know any tricks to fake a flash diffuser? My camera has only a built-in flash. Seems like holding paper over it is going to lead to weirdness, since it's so close to the object I'm photographing.
i'm using the built in flash on a canon dslr. using a piece of card stock, you cut a couple slits in it and it slides right in place. works great.
but yeah, just hold a piece of paper over it and it will work pretty well.
