LIGHTwriters

Last fall, I finally bit the bullet and created an online Facebook photoclub. It has it's typical Facebook limitations, but given it's trial nature, I'll live with it. It was my desire o share photos, critique, encourage and share thoughts, questions and resources. It's been a slow process. Realizing I was doing most of the posting, I inquired if we should kill it. A few said they enjoyed it so it remains alive. Since then, activity has picked up a little. I often wonder if my passion for things scare people; maybe even put-off people. All my life, I seem to take my passions to the 'enth degree. I've learned my passion level is rarely another person's passion. For the past couple of years ago or so, my fire for photography has been reignited and has been a roaring inferno to the day. Several podcasts every day, a dozen emails daily, several monthly magazines (like Playboy of my youth, I subscribed to National Geographic just for the pictures - I rarely even read the articles!). Things are picking up in LIGHTwriters and I'm glad. I fear my passion sometimes...that's disconcerning.
