“Lost & Found” 2010

I spent almost an hour searching for this picture. When I took it, I felt that the lack of critical focus was a big problem, so I didn’t segregate the image in a way in which I could easily find it. The UV filter had fogged up leaving only the young Latina in focus. Yet despite the softness of the picture, I have had this one in the back of mind for the past six years. I finally took the time to find it, and I’m no longer worried about the lack of razor sharp detail that was lost. I’m just glad the image is no longer lost…
