Half the world is doing this it seems—"blogging". I'm a little late, but that's beside the point. For the past five years I've been sending out a daily photo (five days a week really). It's time consuming and on a number of occasions has caused me to send out images that really didn't meet my standards. These "daily" images have gone out to 120 or so people in about forty or so states and a couple to foreign email addresses. While most feedback has been positive, there really hasn't been an overwhelming response. Some have told me in person how much they enjoy the photos though I've never heard from them by return email. Perhaps that's all as it should be.
I think it's time for a change. Posting fewer or perhaps less frequent images will allow for better editing and a bit more flexibility in the process, so that I might send one a week or three at a time every other day if that seems appropriate.
My blog will be about photography (digital is often incidental as the photos appearing here will have all been made with a digital camera). I mention this, as sometimes the camera/ process is important. More often than not, it is not. It is personal vision that makes a photograph. Cameras just allow light to enter a box and create photons on a silicon chip or rearrange clumps of silver halide when exposed to light. A camera is just a tool.

Having said that I must add that digital technology today is nothing short of incredible. Technology breakthroughs are an almost daily occurrence and it's hard to keep up. I try to do just that incidentally, keep up.
