Photos For Blogging

I said Blogging because that is what we do, but much of it can be applied to other media. We need photos just like anyone else. But I would never waste my time with Facebook, who gets 250 million photos per day.

"As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope,

tomorrow awaits. As long as we have love, today is beautiful."

A picture is worth a thousand words, we all know that saying. However two pictures are not worth two thousand words. They are worth much less. Then the amount of people in the picture. Midweek discovered this last year. On a scale of 1 to 10, one person picture is about a 1 and two people are worth about a 3 and so on. You may get five or six people worth a 9, but seven people will not get you any more than 9. And eight people is even worse. Nine people may drop down to 8 and so on. 20 people and you are back to a value of 1.

So the result of my studies for the last ten years are pretty clear to me. One photo of five or six dancers is just about perfection for any one of our blogs. Two photos with four or seven people would still be terrific for our readers. And there it is. In our blogs who is going to see the photos and in others, the same, who is going to see the photos there.

Which brings us the other necessary part of blogging, The Words. But your guess is as good as mine. Whatever photos are submitted, the descriptions of the surroundings are important and lend to fleshing out the blog. The whole thing boils down to a Two Center willing to contribute their viewpoint of the dancers. And fortunately every one will be different.
