Year End Cleaning
There’s a word in Japanese, “danshari (断捨離)” which describes this process. I’m sure this resonates with the Marie Kondo method as well. “Dan (断)” means to refuse to accept unnecessary items; “sha (捨)” means to rid of unnecessary items; and “ri (離)” is to detach. For me as a photographer, it’s always been difficult to let go of photos both the personal memories as well as the photographs I’ve created. But I’ve managed to reduce the files of my photographs to two binders and a box from a whole shelf full of them.
