Great piece of writing Jason. I love both photos, but I actually prefer the first Kmart Garden Shop photo. I like the symmetry of empty planters in the square format. In regard to zines, depending on how you publish them, you could look at them like artist's sketchbooks, it could be about developing a series. Also, this is a great opportunity to make a second issue - Battlefield Blvd Revisited. Not sure if you were looking for advice, but that's my two cents.
I’ve been thinking a lot about previously self-published work i’ve made that I don’t care for now that i look back at it. But with that..it’s important to remind ourselves that there was a time when that particular work made us feel good or felt strong enough to put into print. Sure, we may cringe at the thought of our older work but it with experience & refined perspectives, we can now make better decisions & better photos.

Thanks for sharing this one!
it's the chasing that is important and interesting, not the perfection ;)
