About

This is the beginning of a daily photoblog, pure and simple. There is no definitive subject matter, although my whereabouts heavily influence what I take photos of.

At the moment I reside in Glasgow, Scotland, where I study Social Sciences at the University of Glasgow, eventually focusing on Politics. Most of my time is spent around the campus of the University, and that influence can be seen in my photography.

I originally thought about having a strict genre, or perhaps making this into a daily city photoblog from Glasgow, but there is already a great photoblog from Glasgow at Glasgow Daily Photo. Although my intention is not to compete, most of my photos will still come from Glasgow and the University of Glasgow. Well, for about 9 months of the year as I do travel around the UK at times during the year, going back to Finland for Christmas and the summer months. During those times the daily photos will come from wherever I happen to be.

As this was my personal blog before becoming a photoblog, if you keep going backwards you’ll run into my older posts which I haven’t archived yet. Useless drivel, I’ll tell you. =) Ignore at will.

I’m new to this whole daily blogging business and photoblogging, so bare with me while I learn. Thank You!

RSS (or Real Simple Syndication), on the other hand, might be a little more difficult to grasp. I personally swear by it and follow numerous RSS feeds (321 feeds at last count), including personal blogs, news sites, mobile and gadget blogs, political sites and blogs spanning the political spectrum, humor sites, photoblogs, and many many more. The RSS feeds can be amassed in feed aggregators, or feed readers, on your computer, on the internet, or on your mobile phone. I prefer Google Reader, which has both online and mobile versions, as well as offline access to your feeds.

You can find an exhaustive, yet comprehensive, list of all things RSS from Mashable.

To better explain the mysteries of RSS, here’s a little video, made by the guys at TheCommonCraft Show, explaining in plain English what RSS really is.
