And, as you say, having a camera about your person 24/7 can only be a good thing. Thanks again.

I've also done a lot of walking in my local area this year and it's been great seeing the same buildings, roads and walkways in the changing seasons. A rare positive in this year of negativity.

I particularly like the fact that you rarely pass comment on the photos that top your posts, leaving us to make of them what we will.<br />Good tune today too.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-54310587704842989582020-11-17T19:21:04.600+00:002020-11-17T19:21:04.600+00:00Not nosey at all John.

Several years ago I got bored of having pictures of the band/ artist with the daily post on the blog and used photos from the 1920s- 1960s for a couple of years but then that started to wear a bit thin so I decided to use my own pictures. Having my phone always on me meant I could stop and take a picture anywhere. I've always bene drawn to industrial architecture, mundane stuff like footbridges, pylons etc and for a while I took loads of photographs of electricity substations in the local area- stick with me here- and started to share them in a community facebook group. Lockdown this year has led to me walking far more than usual in the local area and I guess my radar is always on, my subconscious always on the lookout for subjects. This year I've noticed I've taken more photos of trees, skies, nature etc- maybe that's a reaction to being outside more or some response to Covid and being stuck indoors more. <br /><br />The matching the images to the music/ content is less of a science. I save the photos to my hard drive and then they seem to suggest themselves to the music or the other way round. Sometimes I'm writing a post and I know there's a picture to go with it and sometimes it's more haphazard, sometimes it's luck- I post a picture with the music and then afterwards realise there's some kind link between them. I'm definitely into the idea of psychogeography, I think environment has a huge impact on the making of art and I guess by that extension it does on blogging too. If that's not overthinking it. <br /><br />Thank you though, and C.
