I just got back from a nice sunrise, coffee-in-hand, neighborhood dog walk. I love this time of year. There’s a hint of pre-dawn light in the sky to accompany my morning weather forecasting, and I can get the dog out for a walk during the 6 o’clock hour as the sun just starts peeking through the trees in the neighborhood. There’s another reason for a boosted mood on this Tuesday morning - we’re seeing a reprieve from recent dense wildfire smoke that is allowing the sun to actually shine bright enough to cast shadows again!
This was so well written Andrew. I wrote a whole long comment, that I lost trying to sign into this app, and Delta wifi with copy/paste. Ugh
Cliff notes version, I've had a very similar social media path. Facebook, to IG to now basically Twitter and YouTube. I signed up for Threads, make a couple posts that got no engagement. I'm yet to scroll the timeline.
YT is my favorite. I subscribe to all kinds of content; photography, travel, outdoors, storms. I sometimes worry you think I'm stalker guy. All my comments are sincere, but I know comments and interactions help drive video success.
It is maddening to spend hours processing a video, not including the hours to shoot the content, for 37 views. Meanwhile my daughters watch a tween do a 15 second dance, that took 30 seconds to create, gets 10M views.
Anyways, I like making videos. I like the puzzle of creating hopefully an engaging story with dynamic photography. Making videos also makes my photos and videos living memories I can go back and watch, instead of being buried on a hard drive. If people watch, even better.
