So, I’ve dallied with Facebook. But you know what? I still MUCH prefer the interface of the good ol’ WordPress blog, the fact the pictures aren’t sharpened for me and the way it feels like a much more substantial platform. But there is no doubt that Facebook has the potential to reach people who aren’t currently finding this blog (you are a select bunch of people you know!) so, until advised by more savvy social media types (hello Clay!) am going to keep on posting here and putting the link on my Facebook pages. I’d do it with the right plug-in if I could get it to work but it doesn’t.
I’ve a backlog of topics to post, but let’s get things rolling again with the first of several pictures from our recent Northshots tour to Senja in arctic Norway. It was a really lovely group of guests and I was even able to shoot some material myself for my Nostalgia for Snow collection. Please like my Facebook business page, if you like it!
These first three images are in a gallery, so click to see the uncropped version.
What WE need Niall is anti-social networking! I like Facebook BUT I am of that generation where privacy is still valued rightly or wrongly. Had a very interesting conversation with son Rhod who is very well versed in such things and attitudes are different. I am learning… but whatI do like is the fact that I have collected a small number of ‘friends’ worldwide whose work I really respect and it gives a boost to the day to see what people are doing.

I’d be good at that, Paul!. It’s interesting to see how the blog’s traffic surged dramatically yesterday after I posted links on my new Facebook page. Perhaps coincidental but…

I’ve been persuaded to use facebook by my siblings, and suddenly find I’ve got friends I hardly knew existed. But I don’t have any information there apart from my name – and I refuse to partake of any facebook add-ons that require access to my details, even though there aren’t any details available. Unfortunately, it does seem to be the way the world is going.
