Friends, Photos, Favors, Feeling Ill

I practically begged Will and Karen to get on a carnival ride with me so I could get portraits with the lights streaking behind them. Will warned me that he doesn’t do well on rides; I argued that no ride with so many kids under four feet tall could be too dangerous for us.
We boarded, [...]

p0ps’ Panoramas Shot With iPhone

August 18, 2007 – 12:57 pm

I’m coming to learn that p0ps has a number of interesting things going on, but it was his panoramas stitched from pictures taken by iPhone that caught my attention first. Above is the J Train somewhere between Fulton and City Hall.
I’d thought the iPhone’s camera was pretty decent, p0ps’ work shows it off.

iPhone + Newton + eMate Pr0n

August 15, 2007 – 12:13 pm

It’s likely Phil Carrizzi could make a broken tire iron look good, but his series of the iPhone with the Newton Message Pad and eMate is geek-sweet eye candy.

Sausage: The Other Ground Hog

May 12, 2007 – 12:13 pm

The photo is from Jessamyn, who declared it Groan-worthy. I’m still grinning about it. Reminds me of the time Homer said ?Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.?

Atomic Test Photos From Los Angeles

April 28, 2007 – 12:45 pm

This renewed talk of building nuclear weapons here in the US reminded me of an old report of photos of the sky glow from nuclear tests done in Nevada seen over Los Angeles. This one includes the following description:
Atomic explosion, the largest yet set off on the Nevada test range, was clearly visible in Los [...]

Great White Solstice

December 22, 2006 – 12:47 pm

While northern-hemisphere inhabitants are enjoying their first day of winter, our cousins in the southern hemisphere are just beginning summer. And in South Africa’s Shark Bay, near Gansbaai, the great whites are departing for other waters.
The great whites make their way to Shark Bay annually between September and January, though they are not hunting, and, [...]

Be Romantic And Smoke His Brains Out

July 27, 2006 – 11:25 pm

This photo from Tsunaminotes appeared in Ende’s photo stream and reminded me instantly of all the cool things I’d never done because I was born too late and cool stuff is what I saw in black and white photos from years past. Of course, Flickr says the photo was taken July 5th, and the photographers [...]

Robins at Bath

March 7, 2006 – 8:39 am

I heard birds chirping yesterday morning for the first time in a while, and from my office window I could see robins returned from the south. Spring, it seems, has arrived in New Hampshire, but nobody’s captured it better than Breezin with the photo above — obviously taken from a somewhat warmer place than this [...]

Field of Trains

January 14, 2006 – 8:16 am

fishfin50 has an interesting collection of photos from the American plains. That old train car caught my eye and fishfin50 replied to my comment with more detail:
this old train car sits about 200 yards from the Soo Line Railroad in north eastern Montana, it’s in Comertown, an old abandoned town were they used to run [...]

On Censorship

December 28, 2005 – 12:50 pm

Regarding nudity in photographs posted to Flickr, dancharvey says:
Honestly, I’m more concerned about all the cats and flowers. Cliche is more damaging than breasts. Your opinion may vary.

Talk Big

November 29, 2005 – 9:56 pm

If I lived in Seattle, I’d look to Beatnickside’s photos for clues about where the fun is. Here’s his photo of the ?Iron Composer? competition at The Crocodile Cafe.

When You Hit Bottom And Need Design Help

November 23, 2005 – 8:52 am

stock.xchng has nothing on Flickr for searching, finding, sharing photos, except that they’re uploaded with the express intention of offering them for re-use. Some are available free, others free for non-commercial use, others with their own license terms.
But stock photos aren’t really the bottom of the barrel. No, for that you have to look at [...]

Camera Tossing

October 21, 2005 – 6:04 am

Memepool introduced me to camera tossing at Flickr, where there’s even a group for those who are willing to risk their camera for a chance at a shot of streaky lights. But not everybody tosses in the dark, it’s turned out to be a a new fad in self-portraiture.
