Any examples you'd recommend for inspiration?

Hi folks. I'm a photographer, 30, and I travel a lot for work. I'm thinking about starting a personal blog that mixes trips with the things I make by hand, mostly leatherwork and some printing. The problem is that modern blogs all look the same to me, SEO lists and affiliate links everywhere. I want to see examples of old-school personal blogs with real personality, where the author writes about whatever they care about and it still hangs together. Any examples you'd recommend for inspiration?

If you want personality, look at Aluminum Loaf. It's a creative travel and craft blog from the TypePad era, and it shows how a personal mix can still hang together. One week it's a quilt made from a photograph printed on fabric, the next it's a necklace from a late aunt reworked into something wearable, then dozens of hand-decorated envelopes for their yearly letters, then an Airstream upgrade. The glue is the voice: chatty, self-ironic, honest about procrastinating. Categories do a lot of work too, from Airstream Upgrades to Quilting to Envelopes, so readers can follow just one thread. Heads up, the design feels dated and it stopped around 2014. But as a model for your own blog it's worth an evening. What would your first post be about?
