Every once in a while, I get email about why I don’t plaster this site with my photos. After the [TWiP episode](http://www.alesserphotographer.com/post/20635671881/this-week-in-photo?ref=cjchilvers.com), I got a few more. Here’s the lowdown:

This site first started as a way to document my lesser photography experiment and I published the photos from that experiment frequently (check [the archives](http://www.alesserphotographer.com/post/2770149958/the-ultimate-test?ref=cjchilvers.com)). But as the site matured, I wanted it to be about ideas and **your** photos, not a showcase for mine.

I even considered creating a Flickr group for us all, but this didn’t stand up to the philosophy I was preaching. After all, Flickr groups don’t allow for much in the way of storytelling.

So, for now anyway, I think the solution is to call attention to your stories - your blogs. [This book](http://gapingvoid.com/2012/04/17/the-new-hardback-copy-arrived/?ref=cjchilvers.com) is about to come out, singing the praises of the blog and I couldn’t agree more. It’s the best place we’ve devised yet to tell a good story, using a variety of media. Post your links below or [send them in](http://cjchilvers.wufoo.com/forms/contact/?ref=cjchilvers.com) for [the newsletter](http://cjchilvers.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=17ac74e26fc4e20c4b566f584&id=8152697a51&ref=cjchilvers.com). I’d love to see what stories you’re itching to tell.
