IN MY LAST ENTRY, I MENTIONED THE PASSING of a couple photo blogs and that I thought it typical of a trend of similar end-of-the-line happenings. While I am quite certain there are many reasons, personal and global, for this trend, I also believe that there is one reason that is seldom mentioned...

...many a photo blogger has forgotten or, in reality, never understood that the best photo blogs, iMo and that of many others, are about offering forth photographs-exempli gratia, actual pictures. You know what I mean, as opposed to nattering and blathering on about this vs. that, camera / lens / software / technique / et al wise. From a creativity point of view, I can not imagine anything more mind numbing than a head full of that stuff.

And, in my experience, why is it-like, say, where there is a steam locomotive, there a coal/water tender attached-that photo blogs featuring the aforementioned stuff and "standard" run-of-the-mill pictures go hand-in-hand?

Wait...don't try to answer that question cuz I already answered it in the paragraph preceding it.
