HEY

So as part of our studies at TAMK we're keeping a blog. Which is fine by me because it also teaches you about the media platforms we're supposed to be focusing on this course. Not entirely new to blogging but not very used to it either.

The teach said we could post things about the media we engage with. So I'd like to start with that, because there's something I just came across and it has made me feel distressed. That's the power of media. And internet. You can see anything and everything. And what I saw, was a Twitter profile dedicated to disturbing, or "dark" stock photos.

Now, stock photos by themselves are, uh, well- they're known to have a certain kind of reputation. For being really strange, to the point of which you have to question your life choices and other serious matters when you realize these are professionally staged and photographed images that you can buy a license for and use for............ whatever the heck you'd use something like this for??

So back to my original point. Stock photos are terrible. Why would anyone think there would be a demand for ANY of these images featured on this terrible, terrible Twitter. View at your own risk.
