Photography is fun

Pictures are beautiful

Images help us learn and understand

Photos communicate to everybody

Photos are immediateClogger Summit August 2007 - Phnom Penh, Cambodia – All photographs copyright 2002-2007 Steve Goodman - All rights reserved 7

Anyone with photos to share

People who enjoy photos

People who want feedback find out what others think aboutyour photos

Most photoblogs are NOT fromprofessional photographers

Show-off and share your photossome people are better at showing than telling

To tell a story, communicate and express yourself

if you don’t have the time or ability to write

Compared to text, photos are easier to understand and remember

IMMEDIACY - deliver more information faster than textREACH - reach a wider audience & communicate to anyoneEASY and SATISFYING - photos are digested passively with less time demand from your audience
