Useless
I’ve been asked by some readers why I’ve described this blog as useless. This amazes me on two counts. First, that more than one person has visited this blog and two, that they are actually questioning the “useless” tag. They kindly inferred that it wasn’t useless to them. Thank you.
The best explaination I can give is the one I gave to Katie Muffett in response to her comment to one of my posts. When I refer to this blog as being useless I mean useless in the way that the word ‘water’ is useless to someone who is thirsty. It’s to remind myself that the word is not the thing it describes. The same can be said about images. The photograph is not always what it seems. Photographs, like words are merely pointers to the real.
The word cloud above was created by Wordle. It is a visualisation of the words found in this "useless" blog. I used a font called Duality.

About this useless blog
This blog is, for want of a better word, a journal. It’s a place to dump thoughts that pop-up uninvited. It’s a map of a journey to nowhere. A diary about nothing… or everything… same thing. It’s about life but nothing specific. It’s about photography but for no particular reason. It’s about answering a question that keeps nagging. It’s about seeing rather than looking.
It’s quite a useless site really and you don’t need to be here but if you decide to stick around then welcome.
