Summary
The photos we made most recently, especially the ones that took the most effort, are the hardest to judge. In this video, I talk about recency bias and effort bias, using photos from a recent backpacking trip in the North Cascades. I also share a faster way to gain perspective on your work that doesn’t involve waiting for years.
