How many blogs have I started and left to the black abyss of the internet? Definitely at least two. Could maybe be three. But I wouldn’t throw four out of the realm of possibility…
In this day and age of internet slop it has been a struggle to be motivated to post more things on said internet to add to said slop. But I also find it hard in this day and age to find a proper outlet for my film photography and my writing. Grim gram (instagram, in case you didn’t know) wasn’t doing it after a while; such a small screen! Now it’s all about videos! I’m not yet a Big Name Photographer that can rely on shows and print sales alone.
Last fall I got the idea to take videos of myself going on photo adventures. To take people with me as I went and took photos for fun. These videos have not seen the light of day, only me, myself and I have see them, but I found myself really enjoying this concept. To show people what went on behind the scenes of my photographs and my process. Because sometimes I want to tell a bit more of a story than the image will be able to tell. So I toyed with the idea of starting a blog…again…
We’ll see how long it lasts. To be honest, I don’t have high hopes. But I am also working on simply and proactively doing things rather than not doing things because I don’t deem them perfect or ready enough. Pooey on that! Perfectionism kills. And while I am hemming and hawing over something not being good enough, me not being ready enough, someone has already done it and garnered success from it, whatever definition you give “success”.
So here we go. Blog attempt number —. Come for the photographic eye treats and flowery prose that will make you feel something in this day and age of artificial everything.
Stay feral.
