No More Pictures Of The Month
For the past 7 months I have posted a monthly article on this blog with photos taken during the previous month. I have decided to pull the plug on the series.
Don’t get me wrong. It was fun: taking the pictures, learning how to use iPhoto first and iMovie later, creating my first video, uploading it to YouTube, and receiving comments from the viewers on this blog and on FaceBook.
So, why stop?
At the start, I had hoped I would be able to document my progress fighting this debilitating disease called ME/CFS. Alas, my condition got worse.
This hasn’t stopped me from taking pictures, but I more and more found the monthly schedule too restrictive. I am still taking pictures and I intend to put them on my blog when I have enough photos on a certain topic. Some topics that I have in mind will only take a day or two under the right conditions, others will require a year or more.
Some of the topics I have in mind:
- Kitesurfing at Ostend Beach
- Kitefestival at Ostend
- the four seasons in nature reserves
- close-ups of plants and insects
- birds (per family or per biotope)
- assignments from books on photography
- …
Maybe I could even make documentaries with voice-over. As you can see, I don’t lack ideas, I just find that the monthly format has become too restrictive.
