Nothing Profound to Say

Well here I am, with the desire to blog, with nothing interesting or exciting or profound to say.

But isn't that kind of the point of a blog? To just say what ever it is you want to say, regardless of its importance? Now clearly, I'm not going to blog about what I had for breakfast. This isn't twitter. #burrrrrn Yet I feel the need to write and to share.

I think that was kind of my problem with my other blogs. I wanted to say something really important, or interesting or profound, and when I had nothing of that nature to share, I stopped. But life isn't always profound, and isn't a blog supposed to be about life?

Yes. Yes it is supposed to be about life. Or whatever I happen to want it to be about.

So today: I have nothing terribly profound to say. But I have things to say, and that is enough.

Pinhole Pictures

I love photography, who am I kidding? These are some of my pinhole camera pictures. My neighbor and I make these, and develop them in her basement. These were done with my first camera, and turned into positives with software. 


And Not Because I Stalk Babies or Anything...

Well, these are some pictures from my photography class last year. Our assignment was imply a three shot photo essay. Only the first and third were the ones I turned in, but I thought I would share a few that did not make the final cut. And because I said I dabble in photography. 






My Millionth Attempt at a Blog

Hello. My name is Katie. I won't give too much information, because I'm assuming that if you're reading this you already know a lot about me because you know me, or you just stumbled upon this and are a stranger.

I am not particularly artistic or cultured as many of my friends who blog are. (They are wonderful people, by the way.) And I don't say this to be demeaning to myself, because I actually do have wonderful self esteem. But I am stating facts. However, I have my interests and my talents.

I like to write. I write fiction that nobody besides me reads, and I write in a journal, which is definitely only for me. I like to take pictures. But as I said, I'm not terribly unique or artsy.

I like the idea of blogs. Really, I do. As you can tell from the title, I have tried a lot. My first blog was somehow lost, although it wasn't a real shame. It was just my twelve year old thoughts on my twelve year old problems, and was really nothing that anyone would have wanted to read. I also have a tumblr, which is a blog I suppose. But nothing has ever really stuck. And I want a blog. I do.

So, here goes my millionth attempt at a blog, inspired by my two lovely friends Aubin and Gabe.
