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!
My wife sends out a picture daily which she writes a haiku for. She has a decent following of subscribers who say they love receiving them at the start of their day.
Some say they read the haiku then try to imagine what the picture will be, usually unsuccessfully. Today’s was a picture of a tuna boat being unloaded and a haiku with a theme of self discovery. I love her work.
That’s lovely, sounds like a great way to connect with people.
