Not a tour

What you say makes sense. I was just thinking, also, that commentary is a way of building community on the IUOMA site. We lose a little of our anonymity when we put ourselves out there with an opinion or query. It isn't always comfortable to express thoughts in writing.   Linda

Your comments are always welcome, Linda.

The fact that there are many users but few comments ... I would not be obnoxious ... but I think it's because it's easier to share art rather than staying behind the art of others. And then, let's not forget the "agonistic" component ... in any case, I think in general it's because the role of "viewer" is seen as less participatory and creative than it is in reality.

Andrea, I do admit that sometimes I'm concerned that all my comments on IUOMA are a little tiresome for people. It's just that when I see things in the photo gallery that interest me, I feel that the artist would like to know -- I would like to know, myself, if someone found my art interesting. I do sometimes wonder a little bit  why there is so little commentary even though there are so many members.  Linda

Always happy that you like it. And, don't worry... I'm sure you don't miss anything :)

That was a pretty good tour, Andrea, for it being "Not a Tour."  I probably missed something. Not the first time.   Linda
