17/2/2006 - Blogging
Ever had a conversation with someone in a dark room? A really dark room. It's rather disarming. Gone is the non-verbal communication - the eye contact, the head nod, the hand gestures. You only hear the voice. There could be one person in the room or a million people - you wouldn't really know. But you open up a little more than you normally would, being more frank with your thoughts and possibly even saying things that you normally wouldn't allow yourself to express. There's no apparent primeval feeling of a 'threat'. Photographers know what I mean - they work in dark rooms (... sometimes).
Well Blogging is a bit like that - at least that's my first impression of it. As I write this I have no idea if anyone is listening - am I the only one listening in to my thoughts or are there many more? - I've no idea.
