Selfies, food you are about to eat, if you have one your dog or cat or maybe a nice bit of scenery with you family in it?
What portrait of you does your photo stream create?
Like most people I feel compelled to take photographs; some inner archivist or diarist not wanting to miss a thought or instance. A restless mind that does not want to forgot the things that I see.
Do I capture in order to share? Yes, I do - on Steemit and other platforms, like most people I share what I think is a good image and that image I select and consider as its a presentation of me.
But differently from other platforms my Steemit blog makes me to look at my photographs with a bit more depth. Before, anything a few days old would collect dust just like old photo albums. Now I am constantly looking through and thinking about what I have got.
And as I think about what I have, I think about what the image does, what relationship the image has to the orginal subject.
Usually my looking is centred around editing a theme. So for a change I thought I would do a few experiments posting the last three things I have photographed with my camera phone and see what the outcome is.
I am just back from a trip so I know I have some interesting ones, so this gives me a little breathing space. Will have to see what happens over the next few days. I wonder if it will make me think before I take out my camera phone.
