Vivian Maier, Self Portrait, October 18, 1953
Once, a friend asked me what happened to all the pictures I take that don’t make it on my blog or are posted online somewhere. I was a little embarrassed to admit that they just sit there on my hard drive. I was being called out: I selfishly hoard all these files instead of sharing them for the world to see, critique, hopefully admire.
I joke around a little that I’ll be the next Vivian Maier. I will pass away with hundreds and thousands of “unprocessed” digital files for someone else to discover, publish and maybe make a little money off of. Is that being selfish? ; )
I will try to get around to posting more. And if you haven’t noticed, I’ve moved my official blog over to my self-hosted domain: http://veracruzvisions.com/blog.
I’ll be using my tum-photo-blog hopefully more for digital tear sheets of inspiration—really what tumblr is all about.
