i q r a

Let me start this again.

When I first installed this for want of a better word, experiment, the intention was to keep it separate from my other daily worlds, both online and real life.

Iqra was simply supposed to be a place to give background and depth to a few photo entries on my primary photoblog, photopia, beyond simply the daily captioning accompanying each photograph.

That plus I had intentioned to document the twists and turns, the ebb and flow, of what I learned about photography and the way that education informed my picture taking. I wished to look back and read what about my visual zeitgeisting to learn how I was coming along as a photographer.

Well, that’s hardly happened thus far, though I’ve mentally blogged many many entries.

I often stopped short of posting those thoughts on screen ’cause my feeling was that photograph spoke for itself and didn’t need any further ’splaining.

And now…my feelings have changed…. so, let’s give Iqra another go. I got tired of all the comment spam, hence only registered users may share comments, and in a further attempt at twarting comment spammers, I capitalized i q r a to I q r a and haven’t heard from them since (!).

I do have have a need to word blog about a number of photos posted recently, so expect a few back dated entries popping into the archives now and again.

Keep Smilin’

update: not a single spam since the capitalizing of iqra to Iqra, not even in the akismet queue. Soooo the comments are re-opened to unregistered readers.
