Tic-Toc. Time has run away with itself again. 5 years have passed. Poof.
It all started with my Outdoor Guy Photography blog. It looks like my 2010 and most of my 2011 posts & photos have gone by the wayside due to blog size restriction from dropping my premium subscription – for that very reason – storage. I decided to host my own blog, this blog, with bluehost.com (a WP partner). Easy-peasy; it’s a breeze.
I’ve read a few posts today from different photo bloggers stating that they intend to cease posting. I’ve read other posts in past weeks stating some are scaling back their blogging or stopping altogether. I get it…blogging takes time. I think there is also a natural ebb and flow of desire directly related to your level of excitement and inspiration with want you are doing.
I have really enjoyed the sharing aspect and have learned a lot from following many different individuals, viewing their work and reading about their journey regarding a limited variety of topics (mostly photography-related). Interacting with other photographers and photography enthusiasts has been great. The feedback that fellow bloggers provide is also wonderful.
I am finishing out 2014’s photo a day project. We’ll see what the next year in photography/blogging brings. It may be time to switch things up a bit. In closing I would like to thank those that follow and comment often; it has been a wonderful experience.
It’s amazing to think how fast time flies. Looking forward to the rest of 2014’s daily posts (I could NEVER do that) and whatever follows!
Congrats – YAY!!! I am so glad to have found your blog, gotten to know you and heart your photography. Happy Adventuring and Photographing 🙂
Thank you. Right back at yah!
You have done a great job…congratulations!!! I love these.
It is fairly surprising when we realize how time flies. I enjoy your candid daily shots. It reflects real life in the Midwest!
Thank you. I really enjoy shooting and do so every day. Shooting entertains me while commuting to and from work two hours a day. I don’t write anything to accompany the photo; I just let the photo speak for itself. My time commitment is pretty small.
Congratulations on five years of blogging, Dan. I understand the effort. But it’s a passion, too, this blogging–this photography and writing. This telling of a story through image and/or words.
You have taught me much about life and capturing it.
Keep blogging, my friend. I am appreciative.
Thank you. It is all about the passion and community too. I’ve met some wonderful people over these last five years – yourself included.
Congrats on the milestone/anniversary Dan, it’s been a pleasure to follow! 🙂
Your work is truly inspiring. Everyday you capture something we all just pass by without a second look. Happy Anniversary!!
