Some blogs that post every day, or have regular features can feel a bit forced sometimes. Not that I’ve ever felt that way about your ‘bits of my weekend posts’ though! I always enjoy reading them, but I don’t think bloggers should feel under pressure to keep up with a schedule, blogging should be for fun!

I am trying to overcome my awkwardness about taking photos in public too. I’m always less self conscious about it when I’m on holiday. Like last week when I was taking a photo of my food at a cafe and I heard the guy at the next table saying ‘better hurry up before it gets cold’ ! I think he was trying to be funny but I completely ignored him!

Been thinking a lot about Brian’s quest for original food photography and a quest among many, it seems, for original content, period. We all got into this blogging thing to share something we felt was original, special, worth saying, in the first place, right? When it feels contrived of forced or boring it’s a signal to take a deep breath a pause…

So I’m totally down for some original DOWN-TIME, too- BoUrWknd is great, but it’s the BITZ OF KATE that I love the most, so these posts just make me want to give you the biggest hug and a stiff drink. XO, lady.

I know exactly how you’re feeling. Recently I’ve tried to neglect my digital camera and only bring a film camera on whatever adventure I’m going on. It makes you think more about the images you’re making and lets them have more of a purpose. Plus, even technology can’t out do a good roll of film.

I am so damn happy to hear that my post had a positive effect on you – what you’re saying here makes complete sense. It’s funny that I wrote about food, because I think what I said really applies to non-food photography, too. You clearly understood that, and I know exactly what you mean here. I’ve been slowly adjusting my blogging habits so that they work for me, too. If we don’t, then what’s the point?

Do what you want, when you want – your considered and more mindful approach will certainly show here.

(Also, more film! YES.)

sounds like a good plan for this spring! Sometimes I can’t help falling into the ‘taking-photos-to-fill-the-blog’ mode, but it is good to fight it and actually take photos because they give you a creative fulfilment

Looking forward to more of your film photography :) I’ve been really enjoying your pictures of hidden LA.

kate, this all just sounds like normal growth to me! you began making jewelry & taking pictures because of the blog and it’s only natural that you should eventually outgrow that as well – at least as far as jewelry & pics are concerned.. :)

Do what excites you! Certainly if you’re psyched about it, everyone else will be as well.

Sounds like you’re most definitely making the right move.

Can’t wait to see what comes of these changes!!

i like all your other posts better anyway! i think it’s so much nicer to read a post with a bit more meaning, like, ‘here is something i made myself’, rather than just ‘here is some food i ate and a place i went’. i love hearing about your jewellery-making endeavours, and your inspirations, and music posts, and i really love the DIY post above. i’m excited to see where your blog will go now. xx

good for you kate!

I hate that feeling of nervousness or embarrassment when you want to take a picture of something. I’m going to think of you when that happens and remember I’m not the only one! … and then hopefully do what i want and not give a crap :)
