Many times blogs will be instructional, or at least informative, about a subject matter; such as photography. I knew from the beginning that would not be any part of what my blog is about.
I am a technophobe. (Wow, that must be a real word because spell check didn't underline it!)
My method of photography is a combination of things learned and things instinctual, mostly instinctual I think. What I have learned I have learned by doing; not by reading a "how to" or having someone just tell me "how to" do it. With photography, if I have to think too much about what I'm doing, the magic is gone and I no longer feel what attracted me to the subject in the first place. Anyway, I would never presume to be able to teach anyone anything about photography so you won't find that kind of thing here.
******* It should by now be clear to anybody reading this that it is impossible
for me to "get to the point" in anything remotely resembling a normal amount of time. Also, my paragraphs aren't necessarily real para-
graphs. If you're an English major, I apologize for any pain this may be causing you. If you're reading this and you happen to be of the male species, I know that my style of writing may be especially painful for you but, somehow, that gives me a certain amount of pleasure. ; - ) Just
teasing! *********
So what is the point of "Tori's Darkroom"? I think it will be a way to show who I am using words instead of images. That is to say; when someone views my work, I hope they can get a sense of who I am from the pictures I make and now, through my blog, I have another way for people to know who I am as a person. There might be a lot of reading between the lines but that makes it more of a puzzle (and who doesn't like puzzles?).
I think I've always been a fairly open person, but damn, this is the internet and that's a little intimidating. Of course, that's supposing that anyone reads this and that would seem fairly egotistical, so maybe I will just write it as though I'm writing to a friend and see what happens...
