R.I.A. Unplugged

October 12, 2009

Seems everyone clicks the picture link

One thing I have noticed since living my life online, people love pictures.  They love cute baby pictures, stoopid cat pictures and they love pictures of delicious food.

So I am thinking.  Why isn't every one of your masterpieces online? (You are right in thinking there is no worthwhile answer to that question outside of "they are!")  It is a crazy-easy way to keep your work out there with hardly any effort and virtually no writer's block.

1. Get a decent cell phone with a camera built-in.  No, the quality isn't as good as with a digital SLR but the idea is to incorporate this into your life, not create a new hobby to avoid.

2.  Set up Flickr and Picassa accounts.

3.  Set up a Posterous account, linking your FB, Twitter, Flickr and Picassa accounts to feed there.

And ... are you ready ...

4.  All you have to do is snap the picture, type in the title of the dish (and your restaurant's hashtag) and send an email to your Posterous account.  It will feed the photos to FB, Twitter, Flickr and Picassa. 

If you don't have time to do that, then I guess you are busier than Rick Bayless.  But then again, if you did find time to send those picture emails, there's a chance in hell that some day you actually could be.
