Life seems to be passing me by at an alarming pace at present...
And, to be honest, the childlike kick I used to get from blogging...
Honestly, I can't believe 2012 is nearly over already.
I've spent an inordinate amount of time travelling this year....
And, to be honest, the childlike kick I used to get from blogging...
... seems to have faded for now.
Then I meet someone like Luis, who has been blogging quality photos every day for over 5 years, whilst holding down a day job, running a newspaper in his free time and also maintaining a successful relationship...
... and I realise it's time to let the blog go.
I'm still taking photos though! And meeting some very interesting people in the process....
And a special thanks to Dawn - hope it's OK that I borrowed your blog style for this post:-)





It's a pity Alan, but you're right, if you aren't enjoying blogging, you should move on...
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad to know I'll keep learning photography with you! ;-)
Hi Alan. .. Great that you caught up with Luis. I'll try and connect via FB. Joe.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you did. It was a wonderful post. And I wish I could borrow the photos....

You are great! Thank you for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame!! I've only just found your blog and love it. I wonder why so many people give up blogging. I'm very sad about it, but I guess it has to come from the heart, and if you don't feel it's not going to come out well. I hope you find, you don't want to give it up anyway, but I'll connect on Flickr and otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSort of could see this coming. The immense irony is that I was going to cease come December 31, but Biting Midge talked me into breathing life into the portal. And ... the first person I head hunted to join the portal was ... Luis!!
ReplyDeleteI am tracking you on Flickr ... and will go out and find you on FB ... keep truckin' ...
Thanks folks:-)
ReplyDeleteKnow where you're coming from completely! Good luck, Alan.
ReplyDeleteI am genuinely sorry to have arrived at your blog the very moment you felt you have to drop out of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI can empathise with your decision, still, I also hope that you may come back, at least occasionally, with the one or other photograph and putting you on my blogroll, to make sure I won't miss any updates.
My best wishes for the future,
Merisi
