One Year of Blogging!

It has been a year since I recommitted myself to blogging every day in 2013. What an experience it has been for me! There are many photographers in the blogosphere that inspired me to do this. I first saw a lot of people with “Photo 365” blogs where they would post a photo each day. Overall, that did not seem to reach the goals that I was looking to accomplish. I wanted to get more traffic to my website, and more exposure to potential clients and subjects.

Daily Posting

One benefit from blogging every day is that it documents what is going on throughout the year more in depth than a daily journal could. The topics from the blog came from what was on top of mind at the time – upcoming events to cover, new techniques I was learning, as well as looking back to recent shoots and whether or not they were successful. I did not think that blogging would help my photography, but it definitely has! I now have a regular outlet to post and share my images where I can explain what was going on, what I was thinking – much more than I can on Facebook or other social networks.

Will I continue to blog in 2014? I think it is safe to say yes! I have really enjoyed getting to learn how to complete awriting assignment every day. The challenge to come up with topics and write more than 2 sentences is helpful in the sound-bite / 140-characted limited world. It has helped me to remember settings, and approaches better, and has helped me to setup for new shoots. If I take off a day or two, please do not be too harsh, but I still have a string of topics I would like to write about. With new subjects and events lining up for 2014 already and some changes that I have been planning starting to come online, I am sure I will have more to add to the list in no time.
