Why Do I Blog?

My posts have been irregular this week, for which I apologize. As it says in the footnotes, I post Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, unless life gets in the way. So this week, life got in the way. We came back kinda tired from our anniversary/reunion trip to Indiana last week, and I've been having difficulty thinking of things to write about.

Blogging is a lot of trouble. It's a constant struggle to find new and interesting things to write about, and then, when I write a blog and post it, I have to find something else to write about next time. It's like having a baby, and then waking up pregnant the next morning.

So why do I do it? I do it because I love my pictures. I want them to live. And the only way any kind of art can have life is to be out there -- to be seen. I'm certainly not saying my photographs are great art, but I believe they deserve to live. To be seen. Otherwise, why make them at all? So I blog.

Like the picture at the top. Not great art, but lovely in its own way. It deserves to be seen.

If I kept any notes on this photo I don't know where they are. Best guess? Canon EOS A2 with the Canon 80-200 f2.8 L "Magic Drainpipe" lens and Fujichrome 100D film.
