RE: Steemit vs Instagram

in #blog6 years ago

Another thing I like on steemit is, that I can see your pictures bigger 🤓

And I understand what you say about quality and all.. the question remains, why we value a block of words more than an image? Creating it, most likely was a much bigger "effort", than writing a text might have been...

Of course, in a way we are all reward addicts. I love to start my day with https://steemworld.org and a cup of coffee 😁

Here recently, I discovered a handy little thingy, that finally combines instagram and steemit: https://www.share2steem.com/ Of course, you are welcome to try my referral link

Once you are signed up, all you have to do, is add the share2steem hashtag to your instagram post and it is instantly shared to your steemit blog!

OK, considering the quality concerns, I don't want to overuse it and I have edited the posts on steemit bit, but I think it is a nice little tool for occasional "post sharing" 😎

Yes, I know you like the larger and higher resolution images here. 😊 Happy to provide that for you.

What a good point you make regarding the work involved in the creation of an image vs a block of words. I think you’ve made that point with me before, and each time it triggers a bit more of that realization. You’re right! We spent about 5 hours this past weekend doing a couple of different photo shoots (including trying to capture an image for a collaboration with you). Sean will now spend HOURS discarding, editing, cropping, etc. It’s a labor of love for sure, but lots of labor! Why can’t I just let the images be enough? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m getting there mentally. Thanks for that continued reminder.

Yes, I definitely like the higher resolution, thank you for providing those here 😘

As for posting pictures, I think one has to make a difference between someone holding up a cell phone and posting whatever happens to be in front of the lens with a click and something that is carefully created.

Every time I see a photo you post, I wonder how many were actually taken in the series. I can only imagine, how much time Sean spends in finding that one perfect picture for a post and editing it, to make it perfect. And who says, it can't be fun! Thanks a lot also for the image you mention. I can see that you took that serious and did it all with dedication and patience!

So, why are the words still so important? Because we understand "blog" as something with a lot of text? Again, maybe one way to prevent low quality content and mindless snapshots. But then again, for quality images, why not try Bescouted? You and Sean could actually both have an account there... one for model and one for photographer. It runs on the steem block chain and all the pictures can be shared to steemit . And David, the founder is pretty cool too!! If you should be looking for a referral link, you are welcome to use mine 😁
