I close my eyes and get lost in a song; read a novel and cast my own characters in each role.  So, do we need to connect photographs to posts to draw interest?

I intentionally avoided images, hoping to more completely  portray experiences with words.  Sometimes I feel our eyes distract us from subtle details.  Creating images with words became a personal challenge; using language as my medium.

Similarly, I do not watch movies that are interpretations of well-loved books.  I prefer to imagine scenes unfolding rather than depend on another’s interpretation to create a unique vision.

This said, with a humble appreciation for irony, I must confess I am drawn to posts with beautiful or interesting images.  I find the use of images both inspiring and encouraging as instruments of instruction in food blogs.  Some of the photographs tucked into travel blogs draw me into another world and leave me lustful for exotic places.

It is a peculiar contradiction; a picky personal preference I suppose.  I wonder if I have overlooked or undervalued the use of photographs in my blog.

  Ah it is so true that interesting images are most bloggers crutch, including me! It is definitely more demanding to write without them…something I haven’t managed yet…

    Not a crutch, a tool. Maybe one day I’ll set aside the security blanket of the familiar and experiment.
