photo by me

I’m thinking about removing the comments section from my photoblog (not this part of my site, only the photoblog). I rarely get any comments there and I’m getting more spam than comments.

It’s kind of a hard decision, though. When I do get comments, I enjoy them. It’s nice to know what people think about the things I’m doing with my photography. It’s nice to get some positive feedback.

I don’t have much time to go around leaving comments at other peoples’ sites, though, and when that happens, my comments go way down.

I don’t want to feel compelled to comment at other peoples’ sites in order to get comments, either. When I comment, it is not so they will comment on mine. It’s because something moved me to comment. Something made me want to take the time to leave a response.

I don’t leave many responses, so when I do, it means something.

I’m the same way at flickr. I’m not popular there by a long shot. I don’t have a lot of people commenting on my images nor do I have a huge amount of people favoriting my images (although I have a lot of people adding me as a contact – which is odd). It doesn’t bother me, though, because I don’t comment on many peoples’ images and I have very few favorites. If I comment or I favorite, it means that I’m moved to do so. A favorite is just that…favored – over everything else I’ve ever seen.

I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts yesterday. I’m being so silly about school. I know I can get good grades if I just focus. The problem is that life gets in the way and focus is sometimes impossible.

Today is one of those days where I’d like to be at home, between my soft, cozy sheets. I’m still tired and I’d rather be lounging about in bed.

I’m having trouble keeping my eyes open this morning. That’s an odd thing for me and not at all typical.
