| What’s in a Name? | |
My dabbling with DSLR photography has me wondering if I want to be pigeonholed by my site’s URL (i.e., do you only expect to see PDA photos here)? I have begun toying with the idea of a new domain name, even though that means that the new site design will have to change slightly. I would still post PDA photos, but there would be other categories for film vs. digital, simple vs. SLR, etc.
There is someone else with a PDA photoblog — Michael Daniel over at 640×480.net. He has a neat thing going with his Handspring Veo. Guys like him inspire me to continue with the PDA only theme for as long as I am able. This is an excerpt from his about page.
The highest resolution of the Eyemodule2 images — 640 x 480 pixels — is the lowest resolution of today�s digital cameras. In the digital universe, the low resolution snaps made with the Eyemodule2 have a feel similar to those made with the plastic Holga and Diana toy cameras of the film world. The Eyemodule2�s rock bottom pixel count — which makes for “barely the facts” images — is one thing I love about it.
The other outstanding aspect of the Eyemodule2 is how invisible I can be with it. Standing on any street corner, stylus in one hand, staring down at the organizer in the other, I can silently make snap after snap, yet to most people I simply project — “don’t mind me, just organizing here…”
If I do decide to expand the scope of this blog, then I have a new name in mind that I really, really like. Unfortunately, it is already taken. It is being used by a registrar to funnel traffic to their business site. If I cannot persuade them to sell and/or transfer it to me, then there are the .net and .org iterations still available.
If you have any name suggestions then please leave me a comment, or do likewise if you feel like leading me in the opposite direction.
