Pictures - Video - Text

I have this urge to write, paint, photograph, make videos... I did some coding (programming that is) years ago. Made it my job, lost a hobby. The one thing I learned here: it's good to earn some money with your hobbies but please, don't ever become dependant on it. The last few years I didn't paint. Not that I didn't want to, it just takes too much space and I live in a small apartment. Taking pictures with a camera, even in a home-studio, is much easier...

Speaking of learning:
I was a complete autodidact until YouTube. In those days I went to libraries (you know, a place where you can lend books?). Nowadays I never touch a book.
Unless it has lots of beautiful pictures.

I was saying:
YouTube is my master.
I learned about light, ISO, aperture, shutter speed. About depth of field, composition, rhythm of light.
Watched documentaries on Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, William Klein, Vivian Maier, Anton Corbijn.
Learned to love film photography, analog cameras, 35mm, 60mm. Learned developing black and white film.

And now I've started my own little YouTube channel.
In the area of video-making there's lots to learn. Again!
To be honest: I love that. Learning I mean. Guess I'm addicted...

There's only one thing that bothers me.
This learning is sort of one-way traffic.
I consume the video/website/whatever, learn from it, take it into practice.
If you're lucky (?) you'll see some results.
But that's about it...

On the track, the journey of learning, I'll make mistakes. Hopefully I will learn from them.
Wouldn't it be nice if I shared this with you?
Then again: you will probably make some mistakes while learning as well...

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a way, a platform we could easily share our experiences and results.
React on what we learn from each-other? Give this learning-thing a big boost?

I'm not looking for a new platform. It just wouldn't work. I don't have the means to build such a platform nor to host it.

Personally I already use, besides my website, Google+, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I think you will use one or two of these social platforms too. Would it be possible to think of a unique hash-tag that we could use to easily share our experiences with each-other?
So all our pictures, videos tweets, blogs would come together with this one hash-tag?

Yes.

That's possible!

Let's share using #picvidt (pic-tures, vid-eos, t-ext)

Let me know what you think of it.
You can use Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Instagram ;-)
