I really like the pictures of the State Library of NSW. The angles, the frames and the lighting captured original and unique views which one wouldn't normally notice whilst intently looking for information - unless you took the time to 'stand and stare'. Shows off photography as a true art form.

Beginning thoughts

Now anyone can publish! Actually, anyone with electricity, a computer, an internet connection, ability to read and write, etc.- which cuts out a large proportion of the world population. But within this community of bloggers, there are so many people talking at once that I felt inspired to call this blog "Listen to the noise". As nobody else has used this title, perhaps I have a misguided view of what blogging is all about. To me it is a form of communication where we can all have a say, but what is currently a mystery to me is how you find an interesting or useful blog, apart from those on mainstream websites. And how much of what we write is worth publishing?

In an old etiquette book I once read that you should never write anything in a letter that you would be embarrassed to see under your name on the front page of a newspaper. Has anyone rephrased this for netiquette?
