So, why the prolongued hiatus, huh? It’s all too diverting to blame busy, or ennui. Instead, this is my personal list of what not to blog:
1. Rantings
Cross, grumpy, or even just grumbly. About the state of the industry. Wah! 7,000 photography students graduating, and they all have a camera, and point them at stuff!
2. Gearhead
The latest kit. Detailed descriptions of black plastic functionality VS dark grey plastic functionality. Thirds, primes, Amaxon links. Prices and price comparisons.
3. Gripes
How crap people are who do 1 and/or 2.
4. Copywrong
Bleat whine groan whimper someone stole my photo wot I put on the internet.
5. Direct whack
Them over there is rubbish.
6. Direct whack rencontrer
On the other hand, my pictures is really great.
7. Pointing
This has already been posted by 43 others in a round hall of mirrors, all the same, but I know you will like it.
8. Slander
You utter f*ckwit, tinpot dicator, creep.
… and so forth and so on.
Great things to blog?
Progress. Things that are better. More loved, more appreciated. Times that have been seen, pictures in the mind, realised. Echoes. Places that were, places that are. People, real and imagined. Secrets, secret places. Change, more change, and those things that remain the same…
In a tutorial, once, a long time ago, I said that a photograph gives permission to stare. That the best photographs give us all permission to stare. And to be stared back at, scrutinised in turn. But maybe that’s just my biography.
