Wearing my "House Slippers" out shopping
Many of the photos here were posted on my Instagram page shortly after they were taken. However it always has been my intent to also put them up here for several reasons.
There are any number of Flickr visitors who are not on Instagram or are unlikely to find my pages there. And photographs here are of much better quality, and not limited to 10 photos per post.
I have recently decided not to post new content on Instagram. While I don't intend to take down what is already there (at least as of now), I've become increasingly unhappy with the way it operates. Far too many advertisements and "You might be interested in" posts. Too mant "private" members. Some members who have gone down the "AI photo composing" rabbit hole. Their right, but after a little while, their artwork becomes boringly repetitive. And Instagram's annoying ways of attempting you to get more "screen time" and see more of their ads. by posting entries out of chronological order, six day old photos you've seen too many times before new content you might enjoy.
The final straw there was that several of my Instagram entries were taken down for supposed "trademark infringement" I've been around photography intellectual property policy for a long time, and trademark infringement can only occurr for commercial use, like advertising or selling a product. So, goodbye Instagram, to see my new photos, keep an eye out here.
I realize I'm way behind in posting here, this batch is a year and 1/2 old. But, I'll try to ctch up soon. Thank you.
Back from my winter 2023 Caribbean vacation, I'm again wearing these nice "house slippers" I purchased from a European friend not long before.
For some reason, these either never got posted on Instagram or Instagram took them down.
