Do you ever go back through your really old images and think, 'Sheesh, I'm a worse photographer today than when I first picked up a camera'! Yeah, me too. Nothing to fret about, I don't think, as I'm pretty sure this is an example of cognitive bias. You tend to ignore all the crap in your image archive, choosing instead to fawn over the forgotten gem you just stumbled across. Enjoy the positive feelings of discovering a long lost jewel and then get back into the studio and trust your process. You'll soon come up with something new and shiny that puts everything in perspective. Enjoy the journey.
