frequently asked questions
I want to use one of the images on your blog...can I?
I'd love for you to share Blog Milk on your blog. I only ask that you credit and link this blog as the image source.
How did you develop your style?
I usually take inspiration on abstract things, trying hard not to translate someone else's work into mine. I find it key for people to always have fresh content in their blog. That's the type of blog I personally read and follow.
I want to start a blog. Any tips?
Write often. Provide compelling content and high quality photographs. Make sure your site is clean and easy to read. Find other blogs that you admire and take note of what it is you like about their sites. The most important piece of advice is to write about things that bring you joy and that you’re truly passionate about!
I just started a blog. Can you check it out and give me advice on how to improve it?
While I’d love to be able to help people with their specific sites, unfortunately I don’t have the time to do so but I do provide tips once or twice a week to better your blog. My main advice is that you try to always be original. Never copy someone else's ideas and be passionate about the things you write about.
What kind of camera do you use?
I use a Canon 7D with a 55mm lens.
How do you edit your posts?
I use programs such a Illustrator or Photophop when I work on collages but usually just post raw images in order to keep the integrity of photographs intact.
What's you biggest vice?
Music.
