Too much editing to do

Monique; Sydney, Australia; 2009 ©Gabriel PonzanelliI'm so far behind on my editing that I'm feeling a bit anxious. I just never seem to find the time to sit down at the computer for a significant amount of time in one single session and just plough through stuff. Today I sort of did that, but I've also been thinking about this whole editing thing. I think I just don't enjoy it as much as I did. What I really enjoy is the planning a shoot and being out there shooting, then coming back and importing my files. I like seeing them in the big screen for the first time and I actually like sorting through them and rating them. But when it comes to actual Photoshop time, it's so time consuming sometimes that it's a pain. I'm pretty happy working on the first 2 or 3 photographs from a shoot, but once I open the 4th my brain gets bored and I with they were all done. I think a lesson from this is to shoot less. I don't mean go out less, I mean shoot less photographs in each shoot. All I really want is 2 or 3 great shots from each, so why get trigger happy? Anyway, just a thought.
