I set up a Twitter account today. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Wait, what? A tech savvy dude like you isn't already all over the Twitters? That seems hardly likely." Difficult to believe, I know, but true.
Twitter has always seemed both completely overwhelming and rather redundant to me. I'm already connected to the people and things I want to be connected to through other venues. Why do I want want another distraction in my day?
It was photography that finally pushed me over the precipice into the maelstrom that is the Twitterverse. I am ferociously passionate about capturing in photos life, events, people, nature, the visual world around us. I am obsessed with constant learning, exploring, expanding my abilities. And I want to share that passion. Twitter can be an asset in accomplishing all of that, I think.
So here I go. It is still quite overwhelming, but I've already made some headway in figuring out how to tame the clutter and get to the information I want to see, when I want to see it. The next step will be figuring out how to use Twitter to share my passion for photography with as wide an audience as possible.
