What's new?
Not much new around here. And that's the problem. Unlike the Italian ladies above, I'm having a little trouble finding something new to talk about.
Some years ago, in the heyday of photography magazines, I read that most magazines recycled their content about every five years.
Well, I've been posting this blog for almost five years now, and I have a better understanding of their problem. Frankly, it's becoming more and more difficult for me to find something new to write.
I still have plenty of Rock City barns, small towns, covered bridges, old mills, old houses, old cars, and courthouses to write about. But I would like to make more of my posts specific to photography. Maybe that's unrealistic.
So, let me ask my loyal readers (assuming they exist). What would you like me to write about? I could use some direction.
According to Blogger statistics, this site gets four to six thousand hits a month. But I get very few comments. If fact, this blog averages less than half a comment per post.
If
you have any thoughts about things I might write about, please post a
comment. I realize the commenting process on Blogger is somewhat
laborious, so post as Anonymous if you like, then, if you don't mind, sign your name
at the end. (But that's a request, not a requirement.)
Thank you for your help.

I post Monday, Wednesday, and Friday unless life gets in the way.
Tell more stories from your life. They don't have to be epic tales, and they don't have to be about photography (though it will be nice if photos accompany them).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jim. Your suggestion is well taken and I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, my other readers (if any) didn't see fit to offer their advice.
DeleteOf course, I could take that to mean that everyone likes what I'm currently doing just fine!
ReplyDeleteDave, maybe some stories about your mission trips and overseas adventures.
ReplyDeleteGood suggestion, Greg. I will do that.
ReplyDeleteDave, been a longtime lurker on your site (and the same for Jim Grey, with a very occasional post) and thoroughly enjoy your site. As I'm 20 years younger than you and still working, I find your posts about the highways and Byways suit my relaxation and they educate me about areas in the US I know nothing about (and likely never will, as I'm back in Europe).
ReplyDeleteFor me, don't change, other than to post less frequently - weekly, or even biweekly. You have quality and don't need quantity.
Regards, David
David, thank you. That's one of the most encouraging comments I've ever received.
