Starting a blog.
Posted by mikedotephoto on June 4, 2008
To be honest, I’m not too familiar with the art of blogging. I haven’t written anything for an audience in over a year. I’m going to outline the direction that I intend this blog to follow, with a handy dandy bulleted list.
1. In my blog, the focus is on cameras and the ‘camera lifestyle’. I’ve always liked cameras- they’re nifty machines. Although the basic premise of a camera as a light-capturing box has remained somewhat intact, cameras have changed tremendously in the last decade. They can do more things, are easier to use, and no longer depend on having a set of darkroom skills. We are in a digital age that has made photography accessible to many more people. More people have cameras in hand, and more pictures are being taken now than ever! I intend to shed some light on the tools that take the pictures.
Among the various things that cameras capture, they freeze action, fashion, things, and places. I want to talk about the things that capture as well as the things that they have captured, whilst dreaming about the things they could capture. I want to expose to the public, a slice for the life of a freelance New York photographer.
