Come out from your hiding place

I've read that for every person who comments on a blog there are  100+ who are reading in silence.  Which is allowed. No one says you have to chime in.

But we'd sure like it if you would.  As I said to Phil Gerbyshak on the phone yesterday -- every conversation is more fun if someone is actually talking back.

Phil was telling me that it's National Delurking Week.  It's the blogosphere's way of inviting (yes, inviting) you to dip your toe in the water by posting a quick hi or giving me an idea you'd like us to explore here.

But, if you want to keep hiding -- that's cool too.  I hope you won't mind that I'm going to keep seeking by posting interesting ideas, challenging commentary and trying to entice you out.

Hi Becky,

See, that wasn't so bad. Thanks for stepping out and saying hello.

I'm grateful that you're finding my posts of value and I hope you'll let me know if I stray too far.

Now that you've spoken up, I hope you'll continue the trend!

Hiya Drew:

Great writing. Mike Sansone steered me your way.

Having spent a lifetime producing video and shooting photos, I really like your use of images.

That said, lets talk about shooting some new and fun photos of you and Mike for your sites and other publications - some that better reflect those great personalities!

Hey John,

Nice to meet you! Sounds like we would have plenty to talk about. Maybe we should meet up for coffee one of these days.

As for photos that reflect my personality -- I'm not sure that is wise at all!:)
