Did I just repeat myself again?

October 15, 2026 · by Roy Edlund

Let’s call this the last “Didn’t Make the Cut” for a while.

Thing is, I really love writing to you, but sometimes the well goes dry.

And if I'm being honest, the reason this one didn’t make the calendar is mostly because of the same handful of reasons I've already written about.

And I don’t want to repeat myself on here any more than I did on the calendar.

Mind you, I’ve still got a whole vault full of photos that didn’t make the cut, but they'll have to just wait their turn.

Wait, did I just repeat myself again?

Anyway, I think you’ve seen enough behind the curtain for now to know how hard it was to just choose fifteen.

The point of these was not to show off the leftovers, well, maybe a little, but I wanted you to see that the ones I left out were mostly good too.

So for now I’m putting away this “Didn’t Make the Cut” series, if I bring it up again it'll be because a photo turns up with a story worth telling, instead of just the slot it lost.

By now it's probably obvious that I don't really have a plan.

I pretty much wing it, day to day, but hey, that’s the fun of it.

Thanks for indulging my strange little second-guessing tour and for all your comments.

Love from here. ❤️
