I’ve been considering defining my blog a bit, right now it’s just a mix between everything, a random blog about random things I so randomly write about. I was thinking it should have some sort of theme to it, like a photo blog, or a fashion blog. You know the ones there already are tons of all over the internet.
I don’t think a fashion blog would be very good if it was written by me, a clueless fake blonde, currently located in her green walls bedroom in a house in the middle of nowhere in a small town in the middle of Norway. Sure I enjoy clothes, I enjoy style and hell I love shopping, but that doesn’t mean I know anything about it. And I for one is not gonna start pretending I do either. There was an article in one of my local newspapers today about street fashion, a concept I find rather cool tbh, having a street fashion blog means basically taking pictures of people in the street that is wearing cool outfits. No need to be an expert in the fashion area to write down the details the people so kindly provide you with while taking their picture. It would combine two things I care about, photography and style. Problem is that I am still a bit too shy to confront people I don’t know in the middle of the street, asking for a picture. I could however ambush them, taking a picture in all hurry for then to run away, screaming my lungs off. Okay, the screaming part might not be necessary come to think of it. But doing so, I’m not sure about the quality of pictures and also, no details about what the poor people were wearing. Lame attempt of a Street Fashion blog.
What about a photo blog then? Posting my own photographs, with some kick ass captions underneath, that should be cool. It is, I enjoy blogs and websites of any kind that has anything to do with photography. But I just don’t feel the need to restrict my own blog to that. I already have a deviant art profile, I have flickr even. Besides if my blog only consisted in photos, I think I would loose at least a few of the wonderful people who reads my blog.
A good blog in my opinion is a blog with personality, a unique blog reflected by its writer. If I jump onto the bandwagon of the fashion blogs or/and photo blogs, what will I be left with? A blog that is just not me. Like I said in the beginning of this ever so genius blog entry, and let me quote myself;
You know the ones there already are tons of all over the internet.
There is not tons of blogs online concerning the likes and dislikes of Renate Solhaug, there is only one. There is only this one. Why would I swap my originality of my at times ever so twisted little mind, to become something I’m not. I guess what I have found out writing this entry, is that sometimes randomness isn’t that bad, not if you are good at it anyway. I think I might stick to what I know.
