The end of lightthinker ... or taking a break?

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 22, 2008, 11:34 PM
Welcome to this lightthinker-journal


:greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings: :greetings:


Things can have a dynamic of their own. When I started my new RedBubble-gallery a week ago, I had no intention to let it really interfere with my two deviantArt galleries here. Even when I wrote my journal on jchanders three days ago, I was convinced that I would continue both though at less intensity.

New worlds change old words, however. And RedBubble has become a new world to me.

Buy my art

Under these circumstances I cannot avoid some serious questioning. It does not concern the jchanders-gallery, but it does concern this one: How long shall I go on?

My by now 545 lightthoughts are a treasure on their own, and will always be so. I am wondering, however, since some time whether continueing them does not mean adding the same to the same again. Same pictures, same thoughts …

Buy my artrather to my surprise, has quickly sucked me in. It is this special subject and my intense wish to share the beauty of the Netherlands with people all over the world, which give a somewhat new direction.

So what shall I do? End lightthinker here and now? Or take a break, giving it all some time? At this very moment I feel for the latter…

So no new lightthoughts for the time being, no other activities from this gallery. A hard decision, but sometimes hard cuts have to be made. How definite is all will be? We shall see.

I shall transfer the watch of all good friends whom I watch on this gallery, to my jchanders one.

And I request all of you who want to continue looking at my photographic work, to do so at the jchanders-gallery here AND at the RedBubble one. And if you think you are good enough: do join RedBouble. RedBubble is free, RedBubble is me! It can be you too.

A lot of my lifeblood has gone into this lightthinker´s gallery. Of my emotions, my efforts, my joys …I have got ever so much back from you! So it is gratefulness that is the motto of this day, being ever so thankful to all of you who have been such good friends. I love you all for it. But there is also sadness ...

I wish you all the very best, and I do hope to see you at my other two places.

And: nothing is definite yet ...

Allow me to add once again my 25 top-favs of this gallery:

You have the best collection of atmospheris forest / tree pictures I have seen for a long time. I noticed your comment about whether one should add to it or not, perhaps in that it's merely repitition? Personally I feel that every scene is a fleeting image that you have captured, it will never be quite the same again. So do keep up the good work, it's an absolute inpiration :-)

Yes, dA has taken a lot of my life. And both the jchanders-galleries will continue to do so.

I am willing to keep sharing. But three active galleries are just too much, as I already experienced it with esperimenti.

And then these websites (Deviant-Art, RedBubble, take over our lives, for a while.
I just wrote, in RedBubble, how it strikes me that you can manage to find so many quiet places, in the Netherlands and present them in such a great light (in both senses of the word).
