When looking at blogs, there is a blog I sometimes refer to for some of my more mature photo students. It is well known by a couple of my art colleagues and I use it. PostSecret is blog created by Frank Warren, started this 5 years ago in which he asks people to share a secret to the world. Everybody has a secret, ranging from small things like singing in the shower when no one is around to dark ones that can wreak havoc on a person's life. This whole idea of posting a secret that no one knows i think is an interesting way of using a blog setting and could be an interesting approach to use this blog as a conversation starter. What I love about it is how the people who post use photography, image and text together to show their secret. All the images are a gallery of postcard-sized images posted anonymously to unveil a secret.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I always have liked this site, but don't seem to often remember to visit it. I love looking through the site, as well as at the books in print. It is incredible to read some of the secrets, and almost strange/eery that you are reading into someone's very personal stories and thoughts. Plus the visuals of the post cards and the way the text is written is usually very interesting and well done as well. Thanks again for a great site!
