Ciao, welcome to my blog!
Welcome to my blog. This is the first post of this blog since the rebranding. Yeah I know, it has happened before, but for now, I hope this new rebrand will be persistent and permanent. As the blog’s subtitle is the same as the title of this first post, this whole blog will be centred around photos and journeys.
Define the word journey.
The word journey is defined as the act of traveling from one place to another, especially over a considerable distance or time. It can also refer to the process of progressing from one stage to another in life, personal growth, or achieving a goal.
In a more figurative sense, a journey represents an individual’s path through experiences, challenges, and changes anything that involves moving forward and developing in some way — CHATGPT.
Let us begin with this, the definition of the word journey. And quite suitable for the motivation behind this website/blog I would say. This is the core of what I want this place to include, both for myself and for the potential readers. I want to share my journeys through this journal. And my main way of sharing is through visual storytelling or just photos in general. Coming from an education related to the visual arts, this is what I want to incorporate into my spot on the web. My education has gone a long time unused, better make use of it, and what better way than to make something of your own.
Awakening the will to write…
For a long time, I have been writing stuff here and there, both on social media and on various other platforms. But the only place I have failed to keep up has been with my website, the blogging and the updating have not happened. My will to write and create here has been lacking for a while, but by doing this rebrand and more focused approach I hope to be able to get it back and make it consistent.
The content may vary, but the main focus will always be journaling journeys, both small and large. In addition to this, I will of course keep supplementing my Instagram feed and my own photo gallery, this is because I want to keep this place also as a sort of portfolio to keep track of my own digital presence.
Originally when I started this website in 2012 (yes it has been that long…) my vision was to create a diary, open, honest and direct. For a long time, it was active, it was during my studies that I used it a lot just to note down lessons and other stuff. Originally my blog started in 2007 at the Norwegian blog site blogg.no, it was run there for a long time by posting a daily picture and some text about the day. The only reason it stopped was due to a migrating error which resulted in all the pictures getting lost. And then the blog lost the whole point with no picture to go to the text, so I quit.
I really can not lie about this, so I have to inform you that a large part of this blog is already hidden, or not so hidden, you can find it all within the Archives. It contains posts from all the way back to 2020, most of which are written in Norwegian, it is my primary language after all. Although the blog on this website has more or less existed since 2013, I will explain these things in a separate post. The story of the Owlando blog.
Allora, without further ado, let’s get this new blog journey started, I hope you will tag along!
Ci vediamo!
