Mine too.

My work tends to be all over the place. 'Eclectic' is the word I hear most often. The comparisons that others draw are generally of the Keith Carter or Robert Frank or Emmet Gowin variety. I know these are grand comparisons and I don't have any delusions about them, but stylewise I seem to fit into some kind of box which makes me sort of digestible to the gallery world. Still, as a 'shooter' who worries about editing later, I have definitely run into to people who seem to genuinely enjoy the work but took a pass on me because I am scattered and they don't have the desire to edit perhaps, or don't know what I am liable to turn up with a year or two down the road, or it isn't cohesive. I have heard most of these. I do manage to land the occasional show but this is food for thought for other eclectic types.
