Quote a Week Tuesday

“To be, or not to be…” is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in the “Nunnery Scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. In the speech, a despondent Prince Hamlet contemplates death and suicide.

On the lighter side of this quote, I have adapted it to the world of blogging.

Sometimes we, bloggers, hit a wall, yes that does actually happen more often than anyone realizes! During this period, while banging our heads against the wall, we are asking ourselves “Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging?”

Maybe it is the knock of the wall that makes us come to our senses, and at this time a proverbial lamp lights upon our collective heads. And it’s when we realize, the question is actually wrong!?

So why not consider this question instead:

“To blog or not to blog? That’s a trick question, isn’t it?”

And this response to the question is:

“We blog, therefore we are!”

Keep on blogging Y’all!

Thoughts for Quote a Week Tuesday

People often ask me what kind of camera I use. I must confess, after being a pix snapper for forty years, I have come to the conclusion, that the camera does not make the shot, I do. I used to drag all sorts of equipment with me even on travels, but since the advent of the digital format, I prefer to carry the smallest one with me, or just the mobile phone.

Of course there are advantages to SLR and various lens options, but then again, I rarely get the opportunity to just spend my time pic snapping anymore and when the opportunity for a great shot arises, I don’t care what camera I have with me, as long as I get the shot.

There are those who disagree with me and I agree not all of the snaps turn out as I imagined, but for me personally, the idea is more important than technical perfection. An image can be perfect in all ways, but still have no content. Even an out of focus image with a great vision, can be perfect. And in the end, if you yourself like it, then it is great!

Meanwhile, I think we can all agree on Chase Jarvis’ quote:

“The best camera is the one you have with you”

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it is good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art.”
Andy Warhol

“The reason we struggle with insecurity is
because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.”
