Blog Update - A NEW DIRECTION Trees and Snow - Japan, File # 0400970 Link To Original Image Really, this is a minor announcement. I'm taking my blog into a slightly different direction. Instead of trying to tie everything back to photography, I'll simply call a shovel a shovel and say "yes, I will occasionally write an article that has nothing directly related to photography or even art". All you guys are going, "sure, he already writes non-photography related articles". Ya, have. Though, till today, I tried really hard to tailor those articles to eventually come back to photography or hopefully to art at least. Most of the time, it's not a non-issue trying to make that connection. Nowadays, it's still not a problem but I got to thinking that instead of creating this struggle to make that connection, maybe I can simply acknowledge I will have some things to say that don't have anything to do with photography, at least directly. I have a couple of articles in the cue that aren't direclty related to photography. The first is about blinders and what it might mean to know we all have blinders. The content doesn't direclty relate to photography but it can. In the big picture of life, the perspective that acknowledging there are blinders will surely affect how you create your art. The article is indirectly related to photography. This new direction will allow me to occasionally take this off-ramp to explore something we might already thinking as artist without taking too much of your time making the innocuous connection back to photography. I figure you can do that on your own. Thank you for reading. Stand-by for some new articles. I appreciate your participation. Cheers Tom
