Olivier's Blog

Gosh that took a while...

I mean, you have an idea in your head and it stays there for months nagging you on a regular basis until you finally give up and do something about it. Well, this could describe in a few words the story of how this blog came to life.

A blog? - I hear you say. Who needs yet another blog? The Web is littered with posts that virtually nobody reads. And that is exactly what kept me away from blogging until now. 

Let's face it, I do love photography but pretty pictures won't bring people to this site on their own. The Internet doesn't lack interesting pictures (and uninteresting ones even less so) and once the initial excitement passed, visitors move on and forget.

It's from that reasoning that grew the idea that my site needed more textual content (I said Textual! ). To be honest I didn't come on my own to that conclusion and a few similar blogs from talented photographers made me realize that I needed to take the big step.

So what themes are going to find their way into this blog?
Photographic subjects of course! These will include tales about my photographic excursions, technical tips, recommended photographers, websites and of course some very opinionated views on whatever touches at photographic matters. As people around me know, I'm never too far away from a good old fashion rant, so some of my grumbles will likely end up into this blog! 

But most importantly, I hope that many visitors will find the posts interesting, relevant and to the point. If along the way I happen to lose the plot, then remind me of my original intentions and drop me a mail!

For now, I wish to welcome you all to my site and thank you for reading these lines.

Photographically Yours,

Olivier Demé
