Originally posted by emalvick I use Tumblr and SmugMug to share photos online. I catalog my photos on my hard-drive by date and location (geotag) at a minimum. For my wife and I, I make photo books or DVD slide-shows.
Generally, I don't worry much about the photos as much as about how I can go out and enjoy taking them. Taking photos is my hobby. Be it travel or walking around my own town, I like having a camera and just thinking of how to take a photo. Once the photo is taken, I actually don't care that much. Computer work and PP usually happen after hours or when I just can't get out to do that type of thing. Most of the time that means winter time when the days are short and the weather is cold and foggy.
I didn't know it but I've been waiting for a post just like this! It's how I feel but didn't realize it until you put it into words.
OTOH, one could look at Photography in the same "light". Just as language is used to convey a concept from one person to another, photography customarily uses pictures to convey a feeling. And, that being said, makes me wonder if NOT sharing is too selfish.
