I’m sorry, but you’re absolutely right: blogging and photography are most definitely not mutually inclusive activities. To me there’s a very big line between the two.

Then I suspect those folks should not be reading blogs (or anything of length at all), honestly.

I appreciate your comment! And do agree, if written word is difficult for a blogger then maybe blogging is just not the right hobby.

I agree with you, although I should not – why? (Glad you asked) – I’m a commercial photographer and I blog about my work and yes my blog includes photographs. but wait! before you throw out this post with the bath water – most of my blog entries don’t have pictures, because I focus on how to use technology in my blog.

Blog are meant to be read – not watched. It’s not TV. (I hear you on the short attention span thought) When a photo or a diagram helps the reader understand what you’re saying, great – use it. But don’t use photos as fluff. If you’re post can’t communicate without images, maybe you should stop blogging (and start telling your stories in photographs :)

… catching the light!

I own a DSLR camera and have an avid interest in photography but if I had to carry my DSLR everywhere I went, I think I would cry. For me I have to be in the mindset to take that picture, I have to be inspired, I can’t just click and say awesome I took my picture, lol. That’s probably why I have such a difficult time with the 365 days project, because I want my photography to mean something, just like I want my writing to mean something, but that doesn’t mean they’re mutually inclusive.
