Do it with PASSION or not at all

Welcome to my small world!

This is my Ground Zero. After Google announced to kill Google Plus (or G+), which was my social universe, my creative spot to present my photo collections, my blogging home and my place to discuss and learn with and from other people, I had to rethink my online strategy. Social networks are not critical as long as you are not a content creator. If you are only consuming stuff from others, there is no problem if the platform shuts down as you can just move on to the next big thing. But for me, it is different…

“No centralized (social) regime will deny me access to my own content in the future. This is my own place, my own pocket universe.”
