one forty plus.: Twitter Isn't "Over", I'm Over It.

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life.

With what I do for a living (being a photographer) currently going through upheaval in it’s purpose, I’ve been focused a lot on the mood of the world & technology.  The way we communicate has so rapidly evolved and devolved in the past decade that some days I feel that my voice is all but lost in the wind.

For a while friends like ALTH & chainletter2 had told me that I should get a tumblr, and I resisted.  I was worried that I would be diving into a land of memes, just another time suck.  Instead I found a way to really represent who I am as a photographer.  To talk about my experiences, post photos that I’ve taken, and really craft a blog.  Unlike the one on my website, this was convenient to update and lived in a space with other creative minds.

Tumblr is a one stop shop of inspiration, and I’m happy to have a storefront.
