Well, at least since getting a tumblr account, anyhow. Post after post after post of things with absolutely no context whatsoever and 95% of the time they don't bother to link back to the original artist or cite the source. It's infuriating. One, because the artist deserves credit of course, and two (which is more important to me, but on a selfish level) if I see a piece of art or a photo that resonates with me, I want to know WHO did it, so I can see more. I don't understand how other people can't feel that way, but tumblr has just a "here one second, gone the next" platform that people just move on to the next thing without a thought. And almost worse than that is the people who note an offhand "source unknown". That's baloney, there is no such thing. With all the reverse image search functionality available now, a source can almost ALWAYS be found. People just don't want to be bothered.<br /><br />Ugh! Sorry for the rant. Back to your original point. YES - if you are going to take the time to post up someone else's work - why not some commentary as well? Why does the art speak to you, how can you relate to it? Even when I post up a photo I took myself, I have something to say about it! I guess when it comes down to it...maybe people just don't have much to say for themselves and that's a rather sad commentary in and of itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673043434121238431.post-60198630360097810502011-09-08T21:26:25.642-05:002011-09-08T21:26:25.642-05:00RIGHT ON!
