What shall we talk about..

Back in the early 2020’s during flu season (covid), many actors, unable to work, took to writing biographies, some very thin with big letters, others a little thicker. At the same time many people calling themselves landscape photographers took to youtube and began a Vlog, a word I still cannot bring myself to say out loud. What I found most odd is that back in those dark days of shut-ins and parliament-parties, rather than isolating oneself in the open air, as a landscape photographer should, people shut themselves away and began to waffle on about wide angle lenses and megapixels. Without blowing my own trumpet, I spent two years whizzing around the desert making photographs. In that time I did not see a single person, and therefore assumed they were all making Vlogs. Fast forward to 2026 and it comes as no surprise that most of the Vloggers are gone, but its not because they are out making photographs, its because they have ran out of things to say. Even the one or two good ones (or less), have taken to talking about equipment while trying to keep their sponsors happy, which will be followed by the inevitable; “ I’m giving up this channel, and lost the will to live..”

Like most things online, the vlogger, like the blogger and what a glorious day that will be..
