My On-Line Love Affair...

...started with the sheer delight experienced by rsmac and his dainty image of a sea shell. If rsmac could derive such pleasure from uploading his images onto RedBubble, then, surely so could I..couldn't I? And so almost a year down the track, the love affair of taking photos, editing them so that they become my interpretation, uploading them onto RedBubble, and of course selling the occasional card and wall art and t-shirt has continued and shows no sign of waning. Something so enjoyable couldn't possibly be bad for you, I mean there's the online community, there's groups to join, forums to chat on, competitions to enter, critiques to be a part of... And of course, there is the daily learning. In life, whether it be real or virtual, is there no better aim that to learn something new everyday?

Am I in the real or virtual world?

It seems as though more and more today we are embracing a virtual world. So today, just like that, I created a blog, this blog. "Created a blog"...seems incredible, it was so easy, type in your email address, select a name (that thought has been keeping me awake for days...), select a template and bingo I'm now the proud owner of a blog. Perhaps that's why we are becoming more reliant on a virtual world. Results are faster, cheaper, easier, more accessible than ever before.

So what will my virtual jottings be composed of? Well, mainly sights and sounds I come across here on the web and as I spend a bit of time on Red Bubble, I will showcase my favourite things about Red Bubble and it's community of artists.
