10/16 & 10/15 make an interesting pair. my first thought when looked at them together was 'hostile takeover v. peaceful coexistance'. but, having spent a lot of time in the woods, there really isn't anything in 10/16 that you wouldn't see in 10/15. looking at them, trying to make sense of it, they both have a quietness to them which makes them similar in feeling though the subject matter is different. i wonder how i would have felt about them if i hadn't viewed them together?

Lyle, I think one of the most interesting things about a blog is that you are not only forced to select pictures to show, but by the nature of the medium you are also forced to sequence them. I don't mean that I give the sequencing anywhere near the careful planning a printed monograph would entail, but what I post on Tuesday does influence which picture I pick from the folder of recent shots to post on Wednesday.

Carl that is interesting the way you select your images for your post. I just juggle mine from day to day so hopefuly my viewers won't get board.

Yes, I like that photoblogging gives me a chance to think a little bit about sequencing. One of the good things about Blogger is that readers can easily take in a series of posts together in a single glance. Many specialist photoblogging applications seem to be set up so that the reader just sees a single image on the front page, and has to click through to see another image. Nobody could say that Blogger is the prettiest or the most sophisticated platform around, but for photoblogging it does have at least one virtue!

Btw, I’m a big fan of your blog Carl. Keep up the good work.

Thanks James. Interesting point about blog design. I hadn't thought about it in this context, but there is a disadvantage to a blog design that isolates the single current post.
