Hi!

I’m curious about how many of you photographers write about your photos. I’ve got a specific reason for asking this.

Over the last few years my taste in what I photograph has changed quite a bit. I couldn’t find a thread through the images for quite a while, until I pulled a few out from a couple-month span and wrote about them. It was super useful for me, helping me realize what I was getting drawn to, and that in turn helped me focus my work going forward.

I’m curious if any of you write about your work too. Please tell me about it!

And please drop a link to the writing below if it’s public. I’d be down to give it a look.

Cheers!

    Nope, no need to write about it nor do I need a story for it.

    An image is something that caught my eye and I took a photo of it. Could be anything in the composition.

    Or it’s an image is something I planned for, like a picture of a lighthouse in the pitch dark with the Milky Way behind it.

    And it’s not my “work”. It’s my “fun” / “enjoyment” and when I look at my older pictures, that’s what they bring to me. It’s what I do for fun. A hobby!
