@skoobz I have considered going back to Glass, but your comment about it being a silo—and Manton’s post as well—have confirmed my decision not to. As you rightly mention, I love how effortless Micro.blog makes the process of sharing out content to other services, should you so choose. My other issue with Glass was I always felt my photos were completely outclassed by people on the platform. I just don’t have the talent (yet) to compete, thus I questioned whether the cost was worth it for me.
@skoobz why a separate site for photos? Truly curious since I have done that before and have always ended up merging it back into one site. Using a photo optimized theme is only thing I can think of.
@jthingelstad I’m thinking as a place to post my more “serious” photos. I recently was gifted my first “real” camera, interchangeable lenses and all. I thought Glass would spark some of my creativity. Instead, I think I have a little bit of an inferiority complex with it. So, I want to lean more into my own space for this.
@skoobz I like the idea of having a venue, which in effect creates a form of "demand" that encourages more photography. I do this by putting a photo in the Weekly Thing. It makes me push to capture an image worth sharing at least every week. In the past I've had a photography website almost like a portfolio, but I’m not a professional photographer so that seems odd. For me, the thing that I keep considering a photo blog for is to have a place where I "speak with photos" instead of with words. And a way to push my creative borders. But I worry about the mental cost and overhead of two sites. The other thing I would like is it feels odd to post an image I captured years ago on my blog today, but on a photo blog maybe that would seem less odd. Appreciate the dialog and congrats on the camera!
