Goodbye, Google+
Goodbye, Google+
Goodbye to 1.6 million followers on my works Collection
Goodbye to all the actual people that followed me, my real G+ friends
Goodbye to one of the best social networks there has ever been.

This is what heartbreak looks like.

Yes, I know “they” said it was a ghost town, but only those who really used it understood it’s value and knew that the “ghosts” that inhabited its halls were more alive, more communicative and more interesting in the venue that was G+ because it encouraged a deeper level of thinking, expressing, connecting and sharing.
——
I planted this tree during the early G+ beta; back when you could only get in by invite.
I watched it grow large, with luscious branches and leaves… and the fruit, oh the fruit was so sweet:
• My “G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers”, where we gave our hearts away for free, just for the opportunity to elevate each other.
• The “Photography Scavenger Hunt” begun by ChrystaRae, which became the inception point of many of my, now, real-life relationships.
• The myriad photography themes that connected us in a web of wonder, beauty, poignancy and hilarity.

Now, as I watch it burn away, the brightness reveals the energy it contained.
All the roads I built towards it are burning away, too, but those roads lead outward as well.
