The Noblesse Oblige Award


I'm deebly honored and not just a little humbled to receive the Noblesse Oblige Award from Janine from Sniffles and Smiles. Janine is a very accomplished and creative writer in the blog-universe, and it's always a great treat to read her posts and her comments. But beware when you read them, as there's an acute danger of being inspired, of becoming wiser and of being moved! A thousand thanks to Janine for this award and for her way of being a blogger. Don't ever change!

Below I've posted the details of the award:

In accordance with the conditions I've got to tell, what I've achieved so far. Well, that is not easy as I'm not blogging to achieve anything, except maybe to share my love for photography with kindred spirits.

My blogging started six months ago, when I started writing in Danish, after my sister Asta (Hyperenergy and other obstacles and All I Need Is A Good Book) had inspired and encouraged me to start. It wasn't until March that I switched to English, mostly to try to reach a broader audience. Having posted my post number 100 not too long ago, my goal for the nearest future is to keep posting daily within my chosen themes for the next year. If I accomplish that, I think I've really reached a personal goal.

I hope too that I can inspire others to blog and share their photos, feelings, great stories or opinion about anything that is close to their heart. That, I think, would be the greatest possible achievement!

  1. Omedetou, Christopher. You and your blog did inspire me when I first start my own photoblog not long ago.
    Talking about Sniffles and Smiles means talking about a very well-advanced creative writing blog :), thanks for the "warning" :).
