Wesley Yendrys ist 17 Jahre alt und studiert in Montreal Digital Design und Fotografie. Die Auswahl seiner Posts sind in der Regel genau nach meinem Geschmack. Leider sind aufgrund seines Studiums die Anzahl der Posts in letzter Zeit etwas zurückgegangen. Trotz alledem verbringe ich täglich ca. 1-5 Minuten auf seinem Blog:

Please describe your blog in one sentence:
An online storage bin of all the wonderfully diverse and inspirational work I happen to stumble upon throughout my week.

Why are you blogging?
I think it’s a great way for me to expand my palette of art and photography and all that good stuff. Because I generally add my own snippet of insight, it forces me to give a more critical analysis and grasp a better understanding of what I’m looking at, as oppose to just saying ‘oh, that picture is mega dope’ – in a way, it’s for my own benefit. I also like the fact that I have my own space online with the freedom to do what I want. Most importantly, I do it for the readers. I love getting e-mails from people who send me their work or who have nothing but kind words to express – I have yet to receive a negative message from anyone – and I love the community I’ve been able create and get to know over these past few months. Blogging is really a great thing whose power is often underestimated.

How is your daily routine?
After hitting the snooze button about 6 or 7 times, I get up and ready for school – where I attempt to get an education in art and communications. I’ll often write my posts in between classes in the library or in our Media Lab. Once home – whenever that may be – I often nap or eat or check Facebook. After the sun begins to set, I start browsing through the 150 or so RSS feeds to sift and pull anything that has touched, inspired or impacted me in any way – I ALWAYS do this part with a cup of tea by my side. From there, I prep my posts so I can write the textual aspect the following day. I generally end the day at around 2:00am-3:00am with some homework or some videos – Youtube, TV shows, etc. Rinse and repeat.

Your future plans?
I’m definitely considering a domain change because of the focus I’ve been going towards this past year. I’d also like to maybe turn the site into a co-op of some kind so that there’s more of a diversity in terms of work posted and so that there can be more of a regularity when it comes to posts – that’s what I struggle with the most. But who knows? Maybe a quarterly publication highlighting the most popular and interesting posts on the site could be a future project. For now, I’m just trying to focus on sharing a regular flow of good, well written content.
