Ric Lombardo of a long-ago Caracas, now of Melbourne, Australia, warned me earlier this year: "Once you start a blog, you must keep it up."
"Yeah, I know," I answered, flush with excitement over my embrace of this media. I was certain I could meet the challenge. After all, didn't I have some related experience? But editing a trade quarterly for a commercial taskmaster (Touche Ross) is not the same as documenting my experiences on a blog. I wondered: Would anyone be remotely interested in my personal views?
Choosing to avoid the thoughts of zero public acclaim, I decided this blog would best reflect my development as a photographer and a writer. It would be, by and large, a private and sporadic matter.
I know this decision will disappoint the legions of my fans. To them, I would say: I'm sorry.
You were right, Ric. But oh! What I would have missed had I stuck to a blogging timetable. This year has seen positive changes with satisfying payoffs. May they be greener in future.
