Happy Birthday Blog
Today is Inspired Photo Blog’s birthday! Three years ago I jumped into blogging with no idea where it would lead or the adventures we would share. It started with The Blank Canvas and continues today as I begin my 4th year of blogging. What better way to celebrate than with a bit of decadence from St. Cupcake?
I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any cupcake at St. Cupcake. My featured choice today was the pistachio buttercream with a gelato base on buttery vanilla cake. Mmm…
My blog would be nothing without it’s readers. To each and every one of you that come here, week after week and share your inspiration with me…Thank You! There have been many times that I’ve wondered why I do this and then I’ll meet someone that shares with me how much they enjoy the blog and I find a new reason to keep writing.
What have I learned from the past 3 years you ask? It takes far more time to write than I ever imagined. I’ve worked hard since I started to become a better writer, but I still labor over every sentence. I’ve also learned that a post without an image (for a photographer’s blog) is pathetically lame. I’ve learned that it’s hard to keep up with the blog— that I created a monster that needs to be fed on a regular basis. I’ve grown to enjoy writing and have become addicted to blogging and hate that I don’t do it more often.
If you have any comments to share, please take a moment to connect with me. Let me know what you like or don’t like about the blog. What direction should I take this year? More photos, less talk? More personal work or more of my assignment and wedding work? More frequent posts? Or just keep doing what I’m doing and let the journey continue?
Thanks for sharing this day of celebration. Happy Birthday blog!
Subscribe and drink it up!
Yum, the cupcakes were scrumptious! Can’t wait to dig in to these four! I love what you write, don’t change that. More personal work, for sure and hopefully you’ll have more time to blog regularly.
Happy Birthday Blog!
Happy birthday, Blog ! Cupcake with candle huh !
Wishing your blog a Happy Birthday!
It’s absolutely my most favorite and one of the best I have seen. Being you asked I’d like to see more of your personal work and assignments. Your words are perfect just as they are. Dang even your “snapshots” look great. Keep it up buddy!
Thanks also for your suggestion and inspiration for me to start my own blog.
Hope you had enough of those cupcakes for everyone in your household.
Gary…great line from Jack Frost. As I said, there always seems to be that one line no matter how bad the movie. Inspiration is everywhere!
So please share…what is the link to your new blog?
Thanks for asking. You can get to it from the top of my home page http://www.canazziphoto.com “New Images and What’s Going On” by clicking on the camera. The direct link is http://canazziphoto.blogspot.com/
I say let the journey continue. When you amuse yourself, you will continue to amuse your audiance. Hey, that is why I keep coming back. Your art and soul amuse me.
Absolutely keep doing what you are doing! I love the way you write. You did a little blog for my daughter’s wedding back in July of ‘06. Every now and then I go back to revisit it and your words make me laugh all over again! Your words are perfect.
