An Internet friend came to me yesterday via messenger and told that at last he found my picture. Plus a comment about my face, jokingly. This is typical of our virtual connection today that people know each others with less known about his/her friends' looks, even various photo stock sites exist.
First, for intense converstations about important topics, physical appearances are not so important. We talk about our ideas – for whatever you are. I even miss someone's name after series of chatings, and actually up until now I think it is not necessary to know his identities more. Except I have to meet him vis-à-vis.
Other reasons are my intention not to expose myself pictorially. I love Flickr for its photo communities and do photoblogging there, but I prefer to talk about things around me rather than myself. So, only very few out my stocks exposes me.
More than that, our profile on Net is so limited. It may a picture taken several months ago; it describes a few of our interests. In many occasions I find myself surprised on first eye contact with friends who I have known well virtually.
My picture in Vox's profile is relatively clear about my face. I wonder that my lucky friend at last "found me" here.
Vox is elegant – that was my quick conclusion minutes before signing in.
I met several "old friends" here, i.e. friends who I have known from other networks. That is interesting enough that those bloggers use Vox for their pictures, especially photos. I guess it is because Vox's environment attracts users to display their "visual elements" in a moderate way. So Vox can be a place between common-blogs and photoblogs.
Yes, those users include me. I will not lie.
Yesterday I went to office armed with my pocket digital camera and took several shots along the street. It was begun from my house's gate and stopped at about 100 meters near my office. I met enough people and several street events (mostly about preparation for one's job).
Selected from 46 pictures, "the exhibit" of this project were set up on my Flickr's account, exposing 14 entries, Project "30 Minutes to Office".
Today, my free account in Flickr has been used for 183 photos – 17 left! I have a plan to purchase Pro account, but I have not yet decided to do it hurrily (money matters!). Unfortunately, I had invested enough for blog hosting and I must think carefully to spend extra for Flickr Pro.
Later I will think...
Wish me luck. :)
Today I read announcement from Flickr that they have set "blog this photo" up for Vox. Vox Team also reported.
This is my experiment to post my Flickr photo, Celebrating Yesterday's Rainfall, to Vox.
