I've never been one to have an overabundance of confidence. This photo was like so many others where I just wasn't sure if it was "done". When I put it out for critique on another platform, the response I got had nothing to do with the question asked and I immediately started questioning my processing of the image. It wasn't until I looked back on a picture I'd taken on my phone to realize I pretty much nailed the edit in terms of staying true to my experience of the moment. If it takes me a while longer to learn new techniques to improve my post process methods, so be it. However from now on I'm going to have more confidence in how and why I edit the way I do, mindful of staying true to my experience, while remaining confident in my style and creative vision.

Confidence isn't walking into a room
thinking you are better than everyone,
it's walking in not having to compare
yourself to anyone at all.

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
—Helen Keller
Have confidence in your own ability.
Where do you expect to get, has a major impact on where you end up.
An earlier B&W Pano-Sabotage piece referenced to classic Science Fiction writer, John Wyndham's short story, "Confidence Trick" in it's notes. I'd decided not to name that image after the story but the idea of doing so with the kind of big city imagery that I do stayed with me until I went with it with this one.
Briefly, as with most Science Fiction, the story is really a proposition of philosophical ideas being worked out through a speculative narrative. Does that make the idea any less rigorous? It's the idea not it's vehicle that's the all-important gist.
Wyndham's story examines the notion of a kind of solipsism wherein one man begins to doubt what he sees as reality, thinking that it might just be a construct of his own consciousness.
As the story goes on he lays out all the thoughts that lead him to that conclusion. One day on a busy city street he decides that what he sees is a 'confidence trick' and he that he's going to pull his investment from it to see what happens.
He stands on the street and with the full force of his intent he starts to declare that he no longer believes what he sees. Before he can finish his sentence, the world in front of him begins to crumble and dissolve.
Flicker artist Solano Snapper raised the question of whether this was all in his mind or if it was literal. Fantastic point for discussion. This would make an excellent topic for University or College philosophy and/ or literature classes to debate.

Black and White Pano-Sabotage continues. "Pano-Sabotage" is the technique of deliberately MIS-using the smart phone's pano camera function to create marked and unique effects WITH THE CAMERA. Some post processing is done for balance and contrast etc, but the EFFECT of the "facet-ized" imagery is done IN the camera, AT the moment of shooting.
See the Flickr group, "PANO-Vision" for a gallery of said imagery as practiced by a small roster of dedicated, serious artists who are pushing this medium into fantastic new places.

He makes bad decisions
like he’s signing autographs.
Shirtless, inked, sunglasses on -
indoors, midnight, no shame.
The neon says TEQUILA,
but he’s the one glowing.
He doesn’t ask for permission.
He orders regret with salt on the rim.
If you’re gonna fall - make it loud.
If you’re gonna flirt - make it epic.
If you’re gonna dance - do it on the bar
with one boot off and a dare in your grin.
He doesn’t sip. He sermons.
Doesn’t stumble. He poses midair.
And when the bartender says, “You sure?”
He laughs: "I was born for the bad idea"
Because tequila confidence isn’t about being right -
it’s about being legendary.
All the way down.
No brakes. No apologies.
Just lime, fire, and a story worth retelling.
Confidence isn't walking into a room
thinking you are better than everyone,
it's walking in not having to compare
yourself to anyone at all.
