Greetings Steemians!
I have been here a little over a week experimenting and trying to understand Steemit. I think I've got it ... maybe. Bear with me. I'm learning and trying out all kinds of things.
At first, I don't think I'll be sharing much about myself on Steemit, except for my photography. However, I'll share one thing with you now. I have a condition called synesthesia. Hearing and vision overlap for me. I wouldn't exactly say I "see" sounds, but there is a visual quality to sounds (music is spectacular). Not sure how else to describe it. To a lesser extent, the reverse sensation is also true -- I "hear" things I see.
Few people know about my synesthesia. I rarely talk about it because people usually think I am crazy or seeking attention. I mention it here because many of the photographs I produce are influenced by the condition. Specifically, I am drawn to textures and repeating patterns which often have an audible quality to me. Shadows fascinate me also.
On that note, enjoy some clover:
Often, my posts may seem a little bizarre. I have a dry sense of humour. It's fun when people get the humour. It's also amusing when they don't.
Oh, and about the bots ... I will be using bots and vote-buying services early on. I know many people feel passionately that these services degrade the quality of Steemit. I get it. Definitely, I have mixed feelings about these services. Hang in there. I am experimenting and I must admit that these services are fun. I simply need to experience this shady part of Steemit to fully understand it. Don't be too annoyed with me. I plan to stop using them in the foreseeable future.
Now, please engage in some meaningful discussion with my new buddy who has lately been the first to respond to my posts. He is a man of great insight and wisdom. ;-)
