Of Late

I have been thinking about the whole blog phenomenon. To be more specifically what it means to me and I suppose it's interaction with others.

In a way it as become my 'online' collection of images/ ideas/ films and things that strike me in some fashion or another. I used to make visual notebooks/ mood boards of sorts and though time consuming they were a way to create this visual diary that is as personal as it is time consuming to me. Much like my blog. And I have been wondering whether to make it more confidential I suppose. mmmm....

  1. It's hard not to take things personally when you put so much effort into curating and forming your blog and someone else simply copies and pastes a great big chunk of it and gains all the popularity, attention, or even just acknowledge for the original work that you deserve. I hate it.

  2. I know how you feel from personal experience but I suppose you have to take it as a compliment. The worst thing I believe it when the artist/ photographer/ filmaker is not credited. But I do completely understand the annoyance after all the time, effort, research that it takes to make up a blog that is considered, and not just a mish mash of imagery. Hope this is of some consolation!
