It's hard work getting nice looking portraits, so I'd want any shot of family and friends to look nice, which takes more time, etc etc. I posted a few shots of my son Adam on my blog too but I've since stopped after reading about some of the sick people who scour blogs looking for pics of children. I do have a personal family blog, but it's hidden behind a username/password. In fact, the only people who see it are me and my wife, but it's where we record the small things in life that mean the world to us but nobody else. :) Privacy – definitely.

There's nothing like celebrating domesticity. We all share moments like events and tea dates. And yes, she's a pro - but some of the shots are taken by other people and posted. I feel the 48 hours a day wish. Don't we all.. :) Perhaps there's an element of privacy at work here too? In Ireland, we're a lot more aware of this, I think.

Probably because they want to show off their skills with the GIMP or Photoshop. Who, besides close family or friends, want to read about doing the dishes, or visiting personal friends for a cup of tea? Some of her shots are amazing, but then her job is to be a great photographer. I think 99% of photobloggers are amateurs posting to their blogs in their spare time. To each his own. I shoot what I see around me, but I also like to present my photos as best I can. I rarely post photos of my family or friends, unless it's a public gathering like a conference or a photowalk (see my gallery posts on htt://inphotos.org/ yesterday) These days I'm so busy I shoot scenes and things I like or interest me. I hardly have time to think about the reasons behind those photos. My workflow revolves around shooting, storing, picking out "good" images, working on them and posting. Wish there were 48 hours in a day... Why aren’t photobloggers “using this natural way of blogging?” Probably because they want to show off their skills with the GIMP or Photoshop.
