Hardly a Plague, But There Are Plenty

It is grasshopper and cricket season here in Iowa. Rural residents probably are experiencing the bulk of the annoying critters, but they can be pests anywhere. If there is something good about them, it is that they make good practice subjects for macro photography. Finding them is easy, but maybe not so easy is finding them in a photogenic settings with pleasing lighting. This one made that happen for me this afternoon.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
