I’ve decided to start my photoblog, A Daily View (http://photo.jamesjyu.info/). I intend it to be more of an exercise/study for myself. I’ll post a photo a day (thus explaining the Daily part of the title) that I think turned out well, which in my case can be quite mediocre.
I’ve really gotten into digital photography lately, influenced by avant garde photobloggers like Eliot Shepard. I’m currently working with my dinky little snapshot (a PowerShot S110, Digital Elph), but hope to upgrade to an SLR like a Canon Digital Rebel XT, which I’ve been eyeing.
I also plan not to put any descriptions on my photos–I really do believe in having the pictures speak for itself. Or, as Ansel Adams says
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
But, if indeed a particular photograph is worth spilling over to print, then I’ll indulge myself.
In any case, comments, whether they be technical or aesthetical, are very welcome–just hit the comment button on my photoblog. Also, you’ll find a link to my photoblog on the upper right hand corner (yes, I’ve finally added a menu!) I’m still working on the “about” section, so don’t hold your breath.
