I'm really starting to get excited about seeing the ocean again. Thought I'd pull out some past ocean photos in anticipation.
To answer a couple of questions:
1. I won't be taking the site down. That's not to say I won't ever take it down but taking it down right away seems like a cowardly thing to do.
2. I'm not done taking pictures. In fact I've probably been taking more pictures than ever. That's not going to stop. Recently, I have had to place a priority on buying film to keep up with demand versus the cost to have film developed. I just won't be putting photos on this website anymore.
3. I'm not disenfranchised with photography in any way. I love it. It's in the presentation aspect of things where I need to pull back and decide how I want to proceed. Do I want to continue with this model forever? The answer is no. I think I am relying on it as a crutch and need to spend the time I devote here to something new.
4. I don't know if I will put photos on Flickr. Maybe on occasion when the fancy strikes. It will be strange without the daily ritual of deciding on a picture to put on this internet website so I'm sure I will feel some withdrawal.
5. I'm not sure what I will do with this domain long-term. Will I keep it to do something else later on or will I just let it end with the end of this? I haven't figured that out yet. I don't have any plans either way.
