For the past couple of months I have been posting a ‘word of the day’ using the hashtag #PWOTD on Twitter. Some of the words are merely triggers to allow myself to say something about photography and others pretty much sum up what I want to say in a single word. A few have links to other websites and quite a few link to old blog posts on here in the hope that some of the 250+ postings on here reach a few extra people.
After two months it is getting harder and harder to come up with a word every day (OK so I schedule the tweets up to three or four days in advance using Tweetdeck) and I was wondering whether anyone else had any suggestions?
Up until Tuesday 16th December 2014 the words so far:
advice ambient backup bad habits balance bounce flash byline chimping clients colour management compromise confidence consistency contrast criticism default destination dusk editing empathy experimentation family focus genre gutter inspiration interaction juxtaposition limits manipulation metadata middle ground mindset monochrome obsession patience people skills personal perspiration photocalls portfolio preparedness prime lenses prioritise professionalism reaction research rules self criticism sensitivity shadows silhouette simplicity social media teamwork tripod uniform viewpoint vision workflow
If you’d like to see them then search the hashtag #PWOTD or have a look through my Twitter feed @dg28com . I’m probably going to take a break from doing the word of the day over Christmas – partly because I hope that everyone is going to be having a break from social media but mainly because I really hope that I am!
