I really like Nan Golden's work and her subject matter, relationships of the people around her. Because I love taking pictures of my friends. They're the people you feel most comfortable around and can open up to, so you can really start capturing more then just silly posed moments of them. A quote in the reading that I liked that talked about The Ballad was "This process of constant editing made the ballad a deeply textured piece that responded directly to the circumstances of her daily existence- the comings and goings, break-ups and affairs. As life changed, the work changed." You really do have to keep moving with your work. And constantly edit it, as your work grows you might realize some of the stuff you started out with isn't your best work. No matter what's going on in your day, when you have to shoot, just shoot. It doesn't matter if there is something big like a break up, it's a part of life, so just document it. The work could turn out really interesting.
