Today I started framing my photo's for my exhibition... in one hour I managed to frame TWO photo's, and I'm still NOT satisfied!!

Every spot, every little fingerprint, every little piece of dust, every small scratch on the glass is visible to me, it's really very annoying!!

Are you as perfectionistic as me when it comes to photography and your own photo's?

I thought I was a perfectionist because everything must be in order:

EG:

All my shirts in my closet must be facing the same way with the hooks on the hangers going the same way.

All my cds all 700+- of them are in alphabetical and chronological order.

But my wife says I am just anal retentive.

The shirts yes.

Also short and long sleeves are grouped together.

Wow, and all this time I thought it was just me... =]

I organize my CDs alphabetically by group, and then by release date within the bands as well... Sad. So sad.

Absolutely. I sweat all the little details and keep trying until whatever I'm doing is the best I can offer.

(It's the bigger details, like entering the correct challenge, that I have a problem with).

Thanx Waz... still have 4 days to make it happen. 8 photo's... should be ok, right? ;-)

@ scalvert: Good to know I'm not alone (allthough I've never entered the wrong challenge ;-))

No, I'm very messy with these things. I'm only a perfectionist when it comes to shooting and post processing my photos. My computer is one big mess. I'm just a disorganized person with everything ;-)

if you saw the room I do framing in you would laugh at first and then scratch your head and probably say something like "This guy is actually worse than me!"
