Then there is this blog. The idea was to have this as the sort of central point where I would post my pics and thoughts and then re-post them in the other places. The thing is that I have been finding the other places so darn convenient to post to. I also have (had?) this weird idea that I need to put up long posts here with lots of words and pictures.
I guess the question is, what role does social media play in photography? For me, its about getting my images and my thoughts out there. I like to read about other people's approach to photography and seeing the fruits of their labors. Every one of the social media formats I use has a little different audience and a little different offering.
So back to the blog. I guess initially I felt I was getting my idea out via social media so I didn't necessarily need to repeat myself on the blog. Then I realized that there are a lot of people who read this blog that don't follow me on Twitter, don't like my page on Facebook, haven't got me as a contact on Flickr, and don't have me in their Google+ circles. Then came the realization that I haven't posted here in a very long time. Which strangely became an another reason not to post here. I mean I felt guilty folks.
To the folks who only see my stuff here? Very sorry that I've left you out. I'm not sure when I put a blog specific gag order on myself but its been lifted.
