Photos Blades on Hikes

A reasonable position, one shared by 99.999999% percent of the population. I'm not really sure why I take knife pics, it's just something I feel compelled to do. I don't really do much social media either. I reckon it's just an extension of playing with knives. All in all though, it really makes up for a rather small fraction of my time out there, and even of my photography. I take many more pictures of just the natural surroundings and of family when they accompany me. I've thought about it before, and I don't want my kids to go through my photos when I'm gone see pictures of just stuff, and want them to realize that it's people and experiences that I value most. I'd definitely say that the more people that go out with me the less knife pics I take. Alot of times when I'm alone though, especially when I hike for hours up to these lakes, I spend a good hour or two hanging out up there. I'll explore around the lake, gather berries, have a snack (or breakfast), take a cold plunge in the water, dry off in the sun, just hang out; and inevitably take a knife out to fool with, and play around and snap some pics.

I gotta tell ya, Bladeforums IS social media.

Indeed it is. But in my thinking at least there are some venues that I'd consider 100% vanity, while I come here for information mostly. I could be wrong, and I do enjoy posting e.g. in the "recent acquisitions" thread to share my joy and fish for some positive feedback when the occasion arises, but as Nero Wolfe once opined, I try to keep my prejudices intact.
