Blogging Diaspora

A few months ago, I reported that I was doing more and more of my blogging in bite-size chunks — rather than fully evolved arguments — via Twitter.

These days, I find that I am having a great deal of fun with another medium — Flickr. Rather than composing a post and illustrating with photos here at On Tap, I seem to be writing brief thoughts in photo captions instead.

So, if you’re interested in what I’ve been doing in London lately, check out my Flickr feed. There’s a brand new set from our visit inside Buckingham Palace (which includes some shots of the Queen’s amazing collection of coaches) and a similarly fresh set from our visit yesterday to Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace.

There are also images like this one of a shuttered butcher shop, taken during my wanderings about town.

Edmund Martin butcher shop at Smithfield Market in London.
I was taken with this old, ramshackle butchery sitting across from the historic Smithfield meat market. The sign boasts offal, tripe and other delicacies.
