Nothing I do online in my \u2018publishing\u2019 of photo, video, audio or written word is sensational or edgy. It\u2019s just me and really isn\u2019t anything dramatic or politically incorrect. That\u2019s one reason why I\u2019m not a user of social media anymore and haven\u2019t been for nearly 10 years. I use online forums related to things I\u2019m interested in and I maintain an account on LinkedIN but this blog, my Flickr and YouTube channel are my creative outlets and they\u2019re mostly languishing because I don\u2019t follow trends or try to be as engaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via Om.co: Being authentic is hard.
