Why I stopped blipping...

I've left my DSLR to collect dust for a while now. Even before I stopped shooting digital, I spent a month (maybe more) shooting digital because I felt obliged to blip. I always enjoyed blipping. When I had lots of time to get my daily shot I usually had some pretty decent results and I loved the feedback I got. The community and the recognition was really why I did it. I'm guessing most of my views were more from people whos blips I commented on or who saw my comments than from stellar photos, but it was still nice to be part of this community. I used to be so excited about blip I was part of what I think was the first international blipmeet. Anyway, I started shooting more film and then I shot even more. I started carrying around more film cameras, 35mm and 120, colour and B&W, negative and slide, high speed and low speed. Wanting to experiment with film was keeping me busy (as well as starting work again) and more importantly excited about photography. Shooting digital became a burden and it wasn't as fun as it used to be and with my sporadic and mediocre blips I didn't feel part of the community any more. I started getting a hundred views a day and about the time I ended I was lucky to get 10. I didn't even feel like I deserved those 10. There was nothing exciting about my photos. They were just my daily quota of pixels arranged to resemble something I carelessly examined that day. I never intended to leave blip and I don't think I will. I would love to post some of my film up here and now that I'm set up to shoot a roll and scan it the next morning I may start doing that. I might also start shooting digital again. I kinda hope it doesn't taking shelling out for a 7D and a fancy f/2.8 zoom. Anyway, this is in no way a goodbye, just an explanation for why I went out for a pint of milk and never came home. I've been standing at the door this whole time. I just want to let you know I really appreciate all the support you guys have given me over the past months both photographic and emotional. I feel I'm rambling and that's because I really just want to give you all hugs and say thanks.
