Some people noticed that I have disappeared from Facebook, and they asked me if I am OK. I am touched by your concerns, and I assure you that I am fine.
Here's the background.
Twenty years ago I switched off my TV set for the last time. I had realised just how much time it was sucking out of my life, and I wanted to use that time for better things. One of the 'better things' that I invested in was my love of photography. Rather than watch TV shows, I made lots and lots of photos, some of which turned out to be quite nice. I have not owned a TV since.
Last weekend I closed my Facebook account. I have long had a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I value the number of people I have met in its virtual world, but I resent the amount of time I let it suck out of my life. I value the opportunity to stumble upon excellent photography, but I resent the number of spammy adverts and all that AI-generated soft porn its algorithms push. It's time for me to change.
Going forward, I will spend more time creating photographs and more time with my family.
I am still here if you want to contact me. Just reach out via my website, by email or through WhatsApp.
