I’m still in the process of finding the right set of topics for this website. What is this about? What do I choose to publish? How much do I write? Here is an example:

I’ve been to the Ukraine in August with my wife, to the Krim to be exact. Great holidays in to our middle-european eyes very exotic surroundings. Certainly I took trillions of photos, certainly I want to put some up on my site. The set I chose for showing around friends and family contains around 100 photos. Too much for the website, so I sat down to narrow it down even more. Really nice shots, but… But you can appreciate a lot of them only if you know some key facts. Where they were taken, what is on them, etc. Should I write that down? Do I really want to do a full-fledged travel report? Do I want to explain it all and risk to ruin some of the magic?

No, I don’t! I’m not a writer, I do not want to act like a journalist, even less so in my holidays. All I want to do is making some beautiful imagery!

In the final post only six pictures were left that are worth showing. I trashed the “good” and only kept the “perfect”. Abstract and dreamy stuff full of light, sky and the black sea. Very poor choice for a documentary, in fact they could have been taken anywhere. But I do like them a lot, this is why I want to show them.

I feel that this is really an important choice to make, not just for myself, but in a similar way for any individual publishing on the web. The authors I read on the web regularly are all deep into something special. And they love what they do. Life is short, so skip everything else.
