The Gap Between Inside And Out

Posted on Posted in da net, M&Ms, morning wood

None of us is consistent– youth is about discovering, uncovering, recovering our self from others. And from ourselves. Coming to grip is coming of age; coming to your age.

A Morning Read

hitting twitter, I found a link with: “must read this” as intro. A click onto the comment section of instagram — an image of a low mountain range. appalachiana. the text was the following clip.
Going further into the person who wrote this, I hit her main page — the one with a picture or words about ‘self’ appears. She is there in blue dress on dark ground. Posed? Perched? located or dislocated; neither really.

Her word self, and her imaged self seamed straining. Don’t know if they are coming together, or moving apart.

it isn’t easy getting to a point where music and lyrics are one, and still yours.

And So

back to my own work/ld.

Photo Forums — Key Topics

Posted on Posted in The OtherTagged

Online discussion is a major part of the internet impact. So what do the photography forums discuss; what would you gain by participating, even if just as a silent passenger — what would you overhear at the stop along the way?

What Photo Fora Discuss

We captured the “new” posts screens of 3 of the forums devoted to ‘advanced’ photographers. Many of the participants self describe as experienced, or dedicated photographers. Each of the 3 forums has sections dedicated to topics other than what, or how to buy. Those sections include business, aesthetics, industry news, and similar. They also have topic areas called off topic, for the general social discussion, or for matters not in the boards charter.

Advice For The Lost

If you want to buy or sell, or if you need someone to advise about a piece of equipment, then these are the places to look. You will not find unbiased responses, but if you are green, it doesn’t matter, any information is more than you have. But, to think that you are getting credentialed opinion is wrong. These are people passing on their reasons, and none of the people are likely key performers in the field. If you are new enough, then they are enough ahead to tell you how to tie your shoes, but they are as likely to be wrong as they are to be right.

Thread Size

The simpler the topic, the longer the thread. This is the dog house effect of meetings. A simple topic brings out many opinions, while a complex topic is skipped over since attendees don’t understand it.
