Bluesky.Social is a Breath of Fresh Air

I had been listing many of my photographs in various platforms such as FB, Medium, Twitter(X), OpenSea as well as the main repository and archive that is ClickASnap . Facebook groups tend to be topic specific so there is only a limited engagement beyond the subject that is of interest to them.

In order to gain a dedicated following for being a photographer, one must develop a style and set of themes which the audience can come to expect and look forward to seeing. To that end, I seek imagery which fits into my collection of photo albums. Then I can point viewers to specific topics which interest them. Periodically, I repost the album reference where the audience is expected to be. Once it a while someone will contact me saying "where are you? I haven't seen anything new for a while."
