Words

I like to pretend that 99% of you care what I write here.  I doubt that.  I bet if I set up a photo blog and a written blog, keeping them completely separated from each other, the photo blog would get 10 times more hits.

This is more a record for J and I, so we can look and laugh back at this adventure.  So, I write and editorialize and do this for us, but I know most of you are just here for the pictures.  However, I ask you to think about that for a moment.  What would the pictures mean with no context?

Would you be happy with just pictures, making up your own context or storyline to fit your own narrative?

I’ve been playing with the idea.  I can set up a picture only site that I could just dump pics onto and not need to story tell or give narration to, gone are the days of formatting and making the pictures fit.  No need to tell the story of those days and those pics.  I can just dump and go.  I can save this for writing our memories and telling what we want to remember.  

A life of just a blog, that would get a write up every few weeks or so and a life of a photo blog, with just pictures and no context.  That would free up 50 hours in my month.

So, with November right around the corner, I’m gonna do NO-vember.  No context.  No write ups that I don’t want to tell the story of, but no pictures with that.  Maybe the pics are coming, maybe they were added a month ago.  Let’s see how it goes.  I’ll be pic dumping regularly enough here as a test run, but again, that might have no context or that contact might be buried in something lengthly written weeks before or after the pics.

Because, the posts with a lot of pics get a lot of hits.  When I post just writings or don’t include a bunch of Kiddo pics, those go virtually unread. 

So, you just want pics and No context, well it’s NO-vember and you will get that.  I get a month of more free time and you get what you want.  Just pics.
