The Swedish west coast, from around Gothenburg northbound is strewn with rounded granite outcrops in form of thousands of islands of different sizes. Vegetation is due to the rough climate and lack of soil sparse. Lichens of different species are amongst the most frequent of flora found there. Taken on Ilford FP4+.

I've sat on this picture for like 6 months attempting to edit it in every which way. Nothing just seemed to fully work for me, so after an so much time I've just deiced to throw it up unedited.

I didn't get to use the 4x5 camera as planned due to a 4 yr old & 2yr old running around - as it was, the 2 yr old attempted to chuck my Yashicamat into the lake but missed and it landed in the bushes at the edge of the water!

I started by rejecting this photograph, as soon as it came out from the scanner. The negative looked overexposed, and this reflected on the image, which was too bright. I also did not like the composition, which lacked the leading lines and was too cluttered. But this time, I decided to finish my work on this image even if I'm not going to use it in the future. If I failed with it, then I will learn from this failure and be better next time. I sat down and started to write down what I do not like about it. "Too much clutter, weak composition, overexposed" - I wrote. And then I suddenly realized that these are all minor issues! A proper crop would eliminate the clutter and unveil the composition. The overexposure was only apparent, and the file had all the details preserved. Ten minutes later I've got this result, and started to like it much more than before. I learned the lesson, but not in the way I expected: do not throw away your failures, study them, analyze, and, maybe, they are not, actually, the failures.
