Pause

Pause. Hiatus. We're on a break. Not quite a Hello-I'm-Ross-I'll-sleep-with-other-people kind of break, but still, a break.

I'm seriously cutting back on the blogging for four reasons:

1. My PhD needs to come first and I just don't have the time I'd like to devote to this hobby any more.

2. I've got to a point where I'm not quite sure why I started blogging or what I'm getting out of it and need to reevaluate.

3. I've found myself pressurised by some in the industry (i.e. PRs) to write about/photograph things I go to. Things I may not want to read myself.  I am not a journalist and this is not a magazine and I need to remember that.

4. There are some other things going on in my life right now that I need to focus on.

Hopefully this won't mean my blog is disappearing – more that I'll be posting less frequently, maybe once per week. I'd like to think this means my posts will also be much more detailed, more thought-through, more interesting. It'll certainly cut out most of the crap that has started to find it's way onto here. For example, I'll be posting more frequently during fashion week when I have lots of inspiring things to talk about. But the rest of the year things move much more slowly and we need to accept that. Maybe my blog will develop into something new.

Even though I'm slowing down with the blog, I'm certainly not leaving Twitter. Twitter has been a great source of information and a way of making new friends throughout the past year and I'd be crazy to give that up. So if I haven't blogged on here for a few days, you can definitely find me there...
