Among the millions of blogs on Tumblr, only a small number are contributors of original content: “the world’s creators”
And if you’ve ever looked at Tumblr’s Explore Page you might notice that Photography is oddly absent.
There’s #design, #art, #architecture and even #artists on tumblr — but no mention of anything related to the art of taking pictures with a camera. Even #film is a trap — it’s for movies, not analog photography!
We don’t think this situation is acceptable. So let’s Fight it.
We’d like to ask all original photographers on Tumblr to start putting the #photographers on tumblr tag on every single photo you post.
Photographers deserve more recognition among the Creators on Tumblr. Hopefully, by using this tag we’ll help the entire community of Tumblr photographers get noticed — and maybe one day we will see that tag on the Tumblr Explore page too.
Reblog this post and spread the word.
Sincerely,
Photographers on Tumblr
Sunday project: “A trip through my eyes”
If there´s one thing I love about Tumblr and the amazing photogs community is that watching their work not only you get inspiration, but it is a very special way to “visit” other parts of the world, where they live.
There are some images that reflect to the core the essence of a place, images that hide stories, images that when a local would watch them would say “Oh yes, THIS is so ________ (insert the name of town/city/country here)”.
Here´s my photo, and the story behind it:
When the good weather starts to show in any part of Spain, you can see chairs out of the their houses, empty chairs waiting for the evening to come and their owners to sit in them in the cooler hours, usually elder people who just sit there and chat or simply watch people passing by.
THIS is sooooooo Spain I don´t even….!
So I´m asking you all to take a photo (accompanied by a story) that resembles your country, or hometown. No matter what´s in it, it could be an abstract, food, urban…you name it.
Post it in your blog and tag it with #a trip through my eyes# or #sunday project# and I will track these tags every week, then reblog ALL of them in my own blog, so I won´t be posting on Sundays my own stuff.
If the project is well received, I will make a book with all photos/stories for those who participated.
Are you in?
