Rambling thoughts

I hate blogs. Blogs are the bane of the Internet. Why should anyone care what I have to say except me? There, I've said how I feel about blogs. That said I remind myself that "blog" is short for web log. The term blog has come to be associated with online versions of personal journals or diaries. IMO, true web logs are chronicles of web sites, as well as the activities and musing of the participants and most important, are subject specific.

I will never have a personal blog outside of this place. But this one is perfect. It's about photography and art and the thoughts of people who care about those things. That's interesting to me. I frequently have burning need to type out my thoughts in a public place. That doesn't always go over so big on some forums. I've become so engaged in my hobby over the past year or so, and have so much to say sometimes. I will thoroughly enjoy having a place to say it, and even more so, having people read it that might actually care about what I think. The time has gone. The song is over. Thought I'd something more to say...

Well blogs can be really hilareous or a real drag... or just flat boring to read. Some out there have great mixes of humour and real life happenings that make them great reading if the person is devoted to maintaining it.

I am neither a Photographer, nor an Artist, in the usual sense. I have manipulated pictures, done a few Photo's, but I have neither the legs nor the inclination to learn at this time all the rules and setups to use a camera properly. What I see in the little screen is not what shows up, when downloaded. I do however have a facination with Computer generated Fractals, and what I do is accepted here, by some who know what is involved in this work. So I have a blog in another place that I put up some of my fractals and see how they are accepted. It is also a daily type of journal and sometimes I write something funny or about what or why I am down. Or why I am up. This is cathartic to me to have someone else, comiserate with me or tell me to pull up my bootstraps and get it on down the line. This place is more for a discussion of Artistry and Photography, so I don't blog here.
