Welcome
Welcome to James Schot Gallery Photo Studio Blog!
I don’t know about you, but getting started on this blog has not been easy. The word “blog” is not to be found in my old dictionary. It’s something new. I’m free to make it as I want.
I know what I don’t want. I don’t want a blog synonymous with blah, or trite, boring, and politically correct.
I wouldn’t like this blog to be a blooper. which would primarily be the result if it’s filled with information that is factually untrue.
Nor should it become a manifesto filled with poison. This all adds up to negativity, negativity, and more negativity. Something to avoid and not to believe in.
What I want from my blog, and blogs are very personal entities to each blogger, is a communicating medium for interesting and invigorating debate and information sharing about the gallery scene, the arts, and specifically all aspects of photography. Any contribution I can make come from both the mind and the heart.
The idea is to keep it positive. It’s a fine line to keep in mind. As Jack said “some can’t handle the truth.” Or as a line from a Bob Zimmerman song has it “if my true thoughts could be seen, they’d probably put my head in a guillotine”. And we’re all not to be perceived as whining. With all things in life nothing and no one is perfect, and I’ll play by the odds to stay above the fray to seek wisdom, truth, and beauty…all things positive. Oh, and let’s not forget to keep a sense of humor.
