Photography: "a term which comes from the Greek words
photos (light) and graphos (drawing). A photograph is made
with a camera by exposing film to light
in order to create a negative. The negative is then used
in the darkroom to print a photograph (positive) onto light-sensitive
paper.

Poetry: "a form of speech or writing that harmonizes
the music of its language with its subject. To read a great
poem is to bring out the perfect marriage of
its
sound and thought in a silent or voiced performance. At
least from the time of Aristotle's Poetics, drama was conceived
of as a species of poetry."

Journal: " "Though a journal may be many things - a treasury, a storehouse,
a jewelry box, a laboratory, a drafting board, a collector's cabinet, a snapshot
album, a history, a travelogue..., a letter to oneself - it has some definable
characteristics. It is a record, an entry-book, kept regularly, though not necessarily
daily.... Some (entries) will be nearly illegible, written in the dark in the
middle of the night.... Not only is it a record for oneself, but of oneself.
Every memorable journal, any successful journal, is honest. Nothing sham, phony,
false...." (Dorothy Lambert from Ken Macrorie's book,
Writing to be Read )
A journal is a way to keep track of your thoughts about
what you read... as well as what you did on any given day."

A Blog is an online journal created by server side software, often hosted by a commercial interest.
"The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger[4]
on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog," was
coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog
into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com
in April or May 1999.[5][6][7] Shortly thereafter, Evan
Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun
and verb ("to blog," meaning "to edit one's
weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the
term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger
product, leading to the popularization of the terms."
