2-166 A simple call
A simple call with a smart phone. Could it be any easier?
Social media
Ok, well. So I started using social media recently. I’ve been on twitter for 5 years, but now Foolish Bricks is also present on Google+, Flickr, Pinterest (I don’t understand that one yet btw) and since Friday also Instagram. People who know me in real life know that last one is something, because I’m not into anything that has to do with Facebook (and yeah, I do not even use Whatsapp). Yet, for Foolish Bricks I thought it would be important, to at least try it.
I like Google+, mainly because of the active toy-photographers community on there, but all the others are mostly a lot of work. Instagram, I don’t understand completely either; I have about a dozen followers and I guess I will simply need a long breath to try and grow a little on there, but I suspect it won’t come easy. So if anyone has any tips (except for the ‘post 3 times a day’-advice, let me know. For now I’ll simply keep posting images, hoping eventually someone will see them. However, I’m already wondering if instagram is worth the effort. First I’ll give it a few months, hoping for the best.

Thanks for commenting on my last page! I’ll have to do the same with yours. Though I have to admit that whenever I look at your comic I get envious. That lighting is just beautiful. I don’t know how you managed to make it look like natural sunlight is shining through those plastic windows. My tactic for lighting is to blast a lamp over the entire set.
Welcome back! I was checking the links of my list of comics and it was a pleasant surprise seeing you back to posting comics! So, I put your comic back into the active section 🙂
About the light in this comic. This particular sequence was shot outside. However, the light that looks like the sun coming in is from my smartphone. The most important aspect was (re-)positioning the light constantly checking how the light shone trough the window via the camera-lens (on a tripod).
Ah…Social media… I may sound like an old man here but… Is this good for humanity? I mean like “at all”? Nevermind, it might be just me being grumpy LOL
Look out Kemi… It seems this good cop might steal your job…
I ‘ll be honest, I’d rather do without it. But it is almost the only way of reaching out to a larger audience these days. Coincidentally, today I heard about research that concluded that Social Media does not make people more happy, and I can understand why.
