a couple years later...

read a thought-provoking blog today, Paul Romaniuk's The Bertie Project, about photography in the digital age. i felt compelled to respond to his blog, and my response led me back to this blog, created several years ago and promptly forgotten. since i have no idea how to delete posts, thought i'd post a quick update...

--have changed the title of the blog.

--have no expectations that anyone will ever read this.

--love the fact that i'm returning to this blog just as everyone is predicting the death of blogs.

--cannot figure out whether all this internet stuff is beneficial or just dust in the wind.

--have created a web site. have created a facebook profile and page.

--no twitter. no google+. just a name on linked-in.

--too many passwords for this tired brain.

--no pinterest... thank god.

--it's overwhelming.

--how do i simplify?

--do i even want to indulge?

where i belong is behind the camera, or in the darkroom. not sitting in front of a computer wasting time and talking to the vast empty void of cyberspace.

so i remain totally confused and conflicted.

--do i go with my private journals or the potentially not-so-private blog?

--do i continue to create and manage my cyber identity, or just try to be content with my actual self in the flesh and blood world?

it's hard enough being me. do i really want to be a cyber me?

i'll get back to you in a couple years. i'm heading out now to crouch behind a few trees and take some photographs.
