My blog began in February of 2009 as a way of proving that I was a photographer. But as people got used to seeing me carry my camera everywhere, it quickly became a platform to share the other side of all that. The pictures. It was the natural assumption of my friends and family that if I were at an event, there would be pictures. On my blog.
In that way, I began regarding my blog as a way to share a different perspective with people. It wasn’t for me but for them. The goal being to transmit something enjoyable and valuable to everyone who visited my blog. Of course, I knew this was highly improbable. But still, it was my goal.
In that same time I was pictures only. It was a photography blog, not a word blog. What more was there to say!
But as I listened to feedback, and began driving deeper, I began to include different elements. Some that had nothing at all to do with photography. I started to see photography less as the art of picture-taking and more as the art of communicating. With that philosophy en toe, my blog expanded to things that had absolutely nothing to do with pictures (although those were still the main thrust).
Now, I’m entering a new phase. With a philosophy to help and expound, I’m going to be airing, as much as is available, guest writers and bloggers. The motivation here is not to fill up five days a week, but to bring to you a new perspective. However, this is not a free-for-all. The people and writers here are those who exhibit a godly desire to help, whether that be sharing their craft in an educational format, or talking about the Great things happening in their life. Even still, it might simply be in the form of an interview.
What’s not to be lost is that this is a further delving into my blog’s philosophy to not only provide something entertaining, but useful.
If you haven’t picked up on it yet, this has all been leading up to something.
Something: tomorrow I am proud to present the first of I hope many guest posters! My very good friend, Michelle.
Don’t miss it!
