MY JIGSAW PUZZLE OF PHOTOGRAPHS
I review my photos constantly to see what I may find. Sometimes it can be like assembling a jigsaw puzzle where I don't have the box lid as a guide but I can make as many pieces as I like - if that helps. I don't know whether those pieces are needed for the big picture and I don't know whether they even fit together. Maybe I will have to discard some of my favourites. So it is painstaking work. Maybe I am working on several puzzles at once and the pieces are mixed together. I just don't know at this stage. Laying the pieces out, surveying and arranging and sorting and coding them, pushing some together then pulling them apart, grouping and regrouping until finally some sort of design emerges and I convince myself that I have glimpsed an order of sorts. I sit back, temporarily reassured. Next day though, I'm back there again. More pictures, more pieces, more frustration.
