I would certainly agree with Monte about the rest, especially the philosophy and the humor, which is why I much prefer a blog with words and pictures. I like to know what you were thinking, not so that I can copy you, but just so that I can ponder it.

I also agree with your statement, "When finding someone who’s photography style and work appeals to me I try and gain as much insight from their style and results as possible." I would also include the character of the photographer. I'm drawn to some photographers because of their philosophy of life, their humor, the romanticism of their life, their writing. All of these add to my life. Those are some reasons I follow your blog. I also agree with Ian’s article.
