>>4373554Thank you. As I said in the beginning of the thread, I chose a chronological order to show the evolution (or lack thereof), selection onle the "crust", I have more mid photos that would fit in a thematical series. I've been wanting to get my work printed in some way, just not sure how to go about it and lack guidance I suppose.
Regarding people, one of my first inspiration was documentary photography, I worked in color and tried to get closer to people, tell their story. I still do it occasionally, but I felt frustrated that I didn't get to tell stories other than just people doing shit on the street. I wanted to shoot peculiar people, workers of unusual trade, people with unusual stories. But that journalism work, not something you can easily get into as a hobby, and I can't afford to get into it professionally (the only way is basically to self-fund and hope to sell your work for a few bucks afterwards, I can't afford that). So I chose the way of abstract pictures, I like it too. And it feels more like self expression, like I put more of myself in the pictures.
>>4373563Congrats of the worst opinion itt, but I'll answer seriously. What do you need the sharpness for, what is it you want to zoom in on and look in details? I despise the sharp digital camera look, it ruins photos in my opinion. I shoot 1/60 or lower exactly for that reason and prefer soft lenses on film cameras. Also I turn off sharpness improvement when scanning. There's no need for sharpness, the shapes and contrast are enough to see what you need to see. It's very intentional.
