Hey Mitch,

Cheer up! Don’t forget, for those of us reading this blog- it is a welcome break in the day. And you are very witty, and have an amazing wealth of knowledge about my fave place! (Minneapolis).

Mitch - I too at times feel uninspired and feel blogging has become too much work. for those times I’m feeling uninspired, I take a virtual tour across our blogiverse and find so many creative ideas.

I then ask myself, why am I blogging my photos? Then I wonder why am I taking these photos. The reason is simple, because we enjoy photography. But what the photo worth if it is not shared? If we keep our photos to ourselves, then whats the point of filling up hard drive space with photos to never be seen?

We dance, we snap photos, sometimes together on photoshoots, sometimes not. Usually I shoot photos with the tips and info I have learned shared by photo-bloggers like yourself.

We come together to share, learn, and experience. Perhaps in the photos we shooot, there is a piece of fellow bloggers in that photo. Not literally, but figuratively, with someone else in the back of our minds as we snap our photos.

Maybe this is for ourselves, maybe this is for each other, and maybe this is simply for the joy of it.

I thank you for the help, tips, and camraraderie.

Thank you; now get out there and dance!
Rob

I don’t make many comments unless I’m moved. You moved me. I too know why I am doing the daily ritual. My city of Coral Gables is fantastic and I am pleased to share it with the world. You may have noticed that I post a large percentage plants, much of it from my garden. Well, horticulture is my prime interest. And there is a lack of people in my pictures. The people in my city are a collection of the entire world. And we like it that way. The only person that gets many pictures on the blog is my grandson.
I could write much more on this, but a strong storm is starting up now. Just, thank you.

Very well said. We must all get tired of this at times, wondering if it’s worth the time and effort. Especially those of us with DSLRs who compulsively Photoshop every picture we post. It pulls me away from other things I want to do (and work, too) but I just really enjoy it. Ars gratia artis. Keep up your excellent work.

BTW, I really like the photo. It looks like a collaboration between George Segal (the sculptor, not the actor) and a traditional Chinese physician.
