I take photographs. These photographs then (most often) sit on my hard drive for months before I edit them. They then sit on my hard drive for further months before they show up here or on Flickr. This is not due to being unsure about the quality of a photo, or rediscovering something I did not like the first time around (though both these things do happen). It has to do with the quantity of photos that I sometimes take and the number of hours in a day.
I do this with my writing too, only it is less obvious. Not only is it unclear when I publish something in May that I wrote it (or conceived the writing of it) in December, but there are many things which I conceive of writing that are no longer pertinent topics one or two weeks later, nevermind six months. For instance, I scribbled down thoughts on the volcano Eyjafjallajokull not long ago. My comments seem dated now, and will likely never be typed up for this blog.
Here’s proof that old photos that I have liked from the beginning do find there way here after six months. This was taken in December, just outside a little Christmas market in Berne. The Christmas decorations make it evident that it is not a recent photograph. The only way to hide it would be to wait an entire year before sharing it.
Also, it’s better when bigger, so I would suggest you click on it for a larger version.
