Nobokeh.com update
So last week I mentioned that I had purchased the domain nobokeh.com as I was discovering my interest in "bokeh-less" photography; to be honest I was surprised it was available.
(if you're not sure what bokeh is, read this)
I've been addicted to buying domains for a long time, usually keeping around 20 in a rotating queue that are just... interesting names that I might use someday. I actually think the same kind of thing happens to people that get tattoos, in that once you've gotten your first tattoo you're more likely to get your second; the same thing happens after you've bought your first domain--suddenly you find yourself constantly thinking about all the domains you could buy.
Or more accurately, whenever you visit a domain that nobody is using you're filled with the uncontrollable urge to buy it.
Anyway: I own nobokeh.com and have been wondering what to do with it. Considering my interest in bokeh-less photography and how few places exist for other psychopaths like me to come together online and talk about our heresy, it seems like the best thing to do would be to try and make a website "for" us. I don't want to put that much effort into it though, so I've decided to just make a simple tumblr that will present a new bokeh-less photo every day WITH ATTRIBUTION!!! The worst trend on tumblr is the constant proliferation of people's creative works without proper credit, so in the interest of actually supporting the photographers that are producing these photographs, I'll make sure to include not only the author's information but a link back to their flickr account (or whatever account) so you can find more photos by them if you want to. Maybe the site will become popular enough to get two questions; maybe someone will reblog one of the photos. Who knows. Maybe I'll abandon it after a few weeks (never!). Go check it out! Nobokeh.com!
