Another attempt at starting a blog
Hello, world.
This is yours truly trying to start another blog. I think I have started (or tried to start) at least 5 blogs, most of them dying out very fast, one of them I kept private, and one of them I've somehow been able to maintain (my tumblr.) I've been meaning to start a blog and actually maintain it for a while now, especially after browsing through some great blogs this past year or so. I'm not sure what I'll be posting here. Sometimes my thoughts, sometimes my photography, sometimes UX-y crap. Maybe. Probably? We'll see.
I partly started this blog in hopes that it would motivate me to become more active with photography again. I browsed through my 365 project today, and I think there is a gradual change to the style and ideas for my photos as you move through them chronologically. I actually cannot believe myself that I came up with so many ideas, and that's pretty cool. I want to get those creative juices flowing again, because I truly had fun working on this project. It would be really fun to see how my photography style has changed since then, because I know for a fact that I have changed a lot as a person.
Currently (and, well, always) I am heavily inspired by the lovely Alice Gao, whose photography I have been admiring since...God knows when. She makes me want to get back into photography. I am looking into taking a dark room class because I miss working under the ominous red light with film developing chemicals, and the feeling of excitement and curiosity taking over me as the photo slowly comes into sight. Sounds cheesy as fuck but it's true and super fun. Either that or I'll start using my grandpa's 35mm camera. I actually have a roll of film in there that needs to be developed. As well as a Holga that holds a bunch of pictures as well! Perhaps when the new year starts, I will do that. I also have a project in mind so maybe I could tackle that as well and start posting those here...
Please bare with me, I'm a little scatterbrained so this post is probably going to be all over the place. One minute I'll be talking about photography and the next minute I'll be talking about how I'm scatterbrained. Oh wait.
Anyway, I was reading through my private blog earlier today, and it's very much cringe-worthy. All I talked about were boys that I liked, then broke my heart, then I would whine about it, and then I'd find someone else to talk about, and then I'd be like "Oh is he worth my time" and then I'll write about "No he sucks" and the vicious cycle continued for TOO LONG! I don't like to publicly talk about those things because it's annoying, which is why I had a private blog, and it was just kind of my way of ranting to myself. I was such a confused child (lol this was only like a year ago.) BUT THE POINT IS this blog won't be like that because I ain't got no boy problems and shit. And even if I did, I wouldn't rant to you guys about it. I wouldn't put you guys through that. Whoever "you guys" may be. Maybe it'll just be James, lol.
I think I've prattled on enough for today.
