How do you break through and gain an audience in a world where, for example, 3,700,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube every day? Do you post one photo (of farmland!) to an obscure photo blog each day? Well, no. Iām not really doing this to get a fan base (tho that would be a motivating development). Some modest goals for this website are:
Get and stay in the habit of creating for the sake of creating
Get better at writing
Get better at curating and editing my images
Have fun and explore new things
If you have any thoughts on things that help you create for the sake of creating, in a world where the proliferation of #content is such a turnoff, Iād love to hear them!

How do you break through and gain an audience in a world where, for example, 3,700,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube every day? Do you post one photo (of farmland!) to an obscure photo blog each day? Well, no. Iām not really doing this to go viral or get a fan base (tho that would be a motivating development!). Some modest goals for this website are:
Get and stay in the habit of creating images and exploring thoughts just for the sake of creating
Get better at writing
Get better at curating and editing my images (I share way too many images typically and mostly ignore sculpting meaning through juxtaposition)
Have fun and explore new things
If you have any thoughts on things that help you create for the sake of creating, in a world where the proliferation of #content on #socialmedia is such a turnoff, Iād love to hear them!
