I hear you on kill your darlings. Editing can be brutal when your close to the images you’ve worked hard to get. What I love about this post is when you said “I had it in the can”. That made me smile because I know exactly what you mean by that. #filmisnotdead!

Could you explain the “kill your darlings” term. Do you mean that there’s images that mean something personally but to the reader may not get the feeling of the image?

Hey Nick, there are always strong photos that don't fit in an edit, even though you love them. They can be strong for an audience/reader also, but they still get killed when editing.
