"Making" Changes

It's not smart if you have a well-established brand to change your name but since I toil in relative obscurity there's no harm in me changing the name of my blog to Make Pictures instead of Take Pictures. I did it, it's done.

I've known I should have changed it years ago but I didn't for whatever reason. Then, two days ago, while giving a photo lesson to a friend, she commented on how she likes the way I say "make pictures." Immediately I thought about my blog and how it's title didn't reflect the way I spoke about photography. It relied instead on convention. Most people talk about taking pictures but I, more often than not, say make pictures. Who knows why.

It'll be like a little bit of geeky trivia. People will come to me and say, "I remember when you used to end your blog posts with Take pictures". We'll laugh at how long ago that was and we'll have bonded just a little bit more.

Make pictures baby. From now on. It feels good.
