the final photo in the canvas and camera fun...
this is the end result of my efforts yesterday (this is not the final product though) - i can actually remember a discussion when i was studying art whether a painted canvas in a single colour constituted art... at what point does a canvas become art? is it because an artist has something in mind? or because a viewer sees it in a particular way? (ps this is the 6000th photo i have taken with the powershot)

A Huge Toolbox
Image by cogdogblog
Flickr has become popular for numerous reasons, one of them being that they provide appropriate interfaces to 3rd party developers to create unique web tools and software applications that can access, retrieve, use the photo data and images stored in flickr. This has created an explosion of interesting (and strange) flickr add-ons.
These three sites above are a good place to start exoloration:
* Flickr Services contains not only information for developers wishing to use the "APIs" that make this possible, there is also an extensive gallery of examples of what people have created based on the flickr architecture.
* FlickrBits is another collection of tools.
* The Great Flickr Tool Collection
Some of my favorites include:
* Mappr map photos by geographic location
* Clockr It's Flickr Time Digital clock with digits from flickr images
* Flickr Graph
* Flickr Vancouver aerial map
* Flickr Album create a flip photo album
* Spell with Flickr (see example elsewhere in this presentation)
* FlickrPapr make wallpaper images from smaller images
* Tag Related Browser explore the relationship between images
* Color Fields Colr Pickr
* delivr create a digital postcard from flickr images
* bickr
* flickr tag fight
* Flickr Backup download your entire flickr collection for backup purposes
* FlickrStorm a different tool for searching
* Delivr send a digital postcard based on flickr images
* Mastercards with Flickr creates a Concentration like game using flickr images
* montager - creates a montage based on many smaller flickr images -- see my dog examples.

West Texas Prairie Grass
Image by cobalt123
Late afternoon light, this patch of tall prairie grass is across the road from the other type of wild grass I photographed and uploaded earlier in my stream. And the next image shows yet another patch of grass that seems similar to this kind, but a bit different. Must get online to a good site for ID on these wild grasses. So intereresting to see, and of course a big contrast to what I see driving around Arizona.
As long as your monitor does not show this too dark, it looks good in the large or original size. I stopped to photograph the silos here, and have not yet edited any of the structures, just these grasses that glowed so beautifully.

About the Japanese Red Cross Society
The Japanese Red Cross are one of three major fundraising organisaitions based in Japan (the other two being the Japanese broadcaster NHK and the Red Feather Central Community Chest of Japan - originally a post World War II re-building organisation). You can download two english language reports relating to the disaster from the Japanese Red Cross website:
Operations Update No.1 - 13th April 2011 [.pdf file, retrieved 17th May 2011]
Operations Update No.2 - 6th May 2011 [.pdf file, retrieved 17th May 2011]
Over two months on, the needs of many of the survivors remain desperately basic. There has been an increased incidence of pneumonia and associated fatalities. As well as helping with practical and medical requirements, the Japanese Red Cross Society are helping people deal with "Shell Shock" / Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and further developing services to address these issues.
Perhaps most impressively, they helped quickly set up a management structure to co-ordinate help from all the major fundraisers, a committee including academics and representatives from the 15 most badly affected prefectures [local governments]. The pre-existing local Red Cross chapters [branches] are helping with governance.
Although Japan has a large economy, and domestically the japanese have been hugely generous towards aid efforts, like everywhere else, many people of course are not personally rich. There is still epic upheaval. Much of welfare is normally provided by family and community, a system that breaks down when whole barrios are fragmented and diminished. Services like adoption and fostering, for example - normally always done by relatives - are having to be developed. A planning policy of building schools on higher ground saved many children, but even after encouraging teachers back out of retirement, there is still a shortage of experienced teachers. Japan is mostly mountains and sea, with very little spare land suitable for building, so temporary accommodation has had to be built on land normally reserved for other activities, for example on school playgrounds.
If you enjoy shopping in support of the Japanese Red Cross Society, you might also like Tomodachi Calling, a cafepress web store / shop (recommend by a fellow flickrer schmid91, who helped document the aftermath of the tsunami in Ishinomaki Myagi prefecture).

About the decorative hexagonal origami gift box
The box is made up from 12 square origami papers - 6 for the lid and 6 for the base. No cutting, glue or adhesive tape is used.
Although Japan has a long tradition of paper folding, the design of the box is modern, by Tomoko Fuse 布施 知子, who is a renown unit origami designer and artist. Unit origami is a method of building up models using pre-folded components or units.
If you are an accurate and consistent paper folder, but are new to unit origami, and you would like to make your own box, I would recommend her book "Origami Boxes: Moribana Style" [# ISBN-10: 0870408216 - # ISBN-13: 978-0870408212] as an excellent introduction. Connecting the units together can be a bit fiddly at first, and the book also includes designs for more simple square and triangular boxes, which give the opportunity to practice and develop the skills needed for doing the final assembly.
(Until Asimo gets a bit more nimble fingered, the box is unlikely to flood the market anytime soon...)
If you get the bug, she has also created and written about very much more complex models. "Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations" [ISBN-10: 0870408526 - ISBN-13: 978-0870408526] is considered a classic text on the subject.
Paper making was a traditional supplemental business of farmers in Japan during the winter. The very cold water during that season enabled the fibres in the pulp to be soaked without becoming subject to decay, and some also argue that cold shrinks the fibres, creating a finer, crisper paper.

Dreamy phone call
Image by Ed Yourdon
As I walked through Verdi Square, I passed by this guy while he was staring off into space and listening to his cell-phone. I was only about two feet away from him, and didn't want to stick the camera-lens in his face ... so I walked past, then over to the east side of the little park, and back past him from the other direction. At this point, I had the little flower-bed "island" between me and him, so I didn't feel like I was being so intrusive ... though I don't think he noticed me at all at any point along the way...

*************************
Note: on Sep 12, 2009 I edited this photo, based on suggestions from a couple of Flickr friends. First, I tried two different cropping alternatives: one where the subject ended up on the extreme left side of the picture frame, and one with the subject on the right side; for my own personal, artistic reasons, I decided I liked the latter choice, so that's what I kept.
More importantly (in my opinion), the original image was way too "cool," with an overall bluish tinge -- perhaps because it was late afternoon in November, or maybe just underexposed. But in any case, I decided to "warm" up the picture by increasing the "temperature" setting, so it would look a little more like a photo taken at the end of a warm, sunny late-autumn afternoon.
And then I decided to saturate the subject's skin tones a little, and also increase the saturation of the red in his shirt, the brown of his pants, and the yellow/gold background (which happens to be a store front across the street, on the far side of Broadway). It turned out that the yellow/gold of the store-front was a bit over-exposed and had become a "hot spot," while some of the leafy areas and the bench that the subject was sitting on were too dark; so I fixed that, too. Indeed, the whole scene was darkened somewhat by shadows, so I adjusted the overall shadow setting...
So, is the final result better? Who knows? It's all a matter of subjective choice, I suppose, and perhaps many people wouldn't notice, or care, about the difference. Or they might just look at this final result, shrug, and say, "Eh. It's okay." Well, anyway, I like it better ... and since I'm the one who has to live with the results, in the long run, I suppose that's what's most important...
By the way, the original version of the photo can be found here on Flickr.
**********************
This is part of an evolving photo-project, which will probably continue throughout the summer of 2008, and perhaps beyond: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
For the most part, I've deliberately avoided photographing bums, drunks, drunks, and crazy people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.

Sunflowers

So is it a weed or is it a flower? I am sure people in the plant-community get as exercised discussing these categorizations as I do about talking about categorizing photography. You would not believe the millions of words and sentences wasted discussing photography and how to categorize one type of photo. I can only assume the same thing happens in the flower/botany community!
I got this one with my friend Scott Kublin one day in the south of France. We had Fabien (the website designer) pull over on a tiny little road so we could pop out and get some sunflower photos. I think he almost got rear-ended while waiting on us, so he had to pull away then circle back to get us! On the second drive-by, he started honking so we had to run and dive into the car like it was an action movie.

Exploring the Church
Image by Stuck in Customs
I like all the colorful votives. They make everything a bit more festive.... Cathedrals can be sort of melancholy places, so anything to liven things up a bit are a nice change of pace. I'm not saying we should go neon-signs or blinky-text on the church's website or anything crazy like that.... just a little somethin-somethin to spice things up a bit.
And I do like that hallway quite a lot... it's got a nice M.C.Escher quality to it.

Hotel or Disney Theme Park?
Image by Express Monorail
I attempted to do a little research and try to find out a little about this set piece on the Streets Of America in Disney's Hollywood Studios. I didn't find much on it at all, which, given the loads of information out there on all things Walt Disney World, was a little surprising. I'll admit that I don't know a lot about New York or this area of Disney's Hollywood Studios. I knew that the picture was taken in the “New York” portion of the area and I made the assumption that it was a hotel.
So I “Googled” famous New York City hotels. I came across this one called “Plaza Hotel”. It is an historic hotel built in 1907 and located at the corner of 5th Avenue and 59th Street in Manhattan, and is operated by Fairmont. While the Disney Imagineers obviously didn't follow the design of The Plaza to the “T”, there are enough design elements present that tell me is was certainly the main, if not only, influence. The most obvious elements to me are the diagonal, checkered floor, the basic structure of the steps with red carpet in the middle, the ornamental design above the doors, and the circle lights on the face of the canopy. The picture I found (in the comments below) make me wonder if the circle lights at the Disney version light up like this. Like I said previously, there are some things definitely different, but it certainly has it's influences.
So there you go, next time you pass this “set piece” in the New York area of Streets of America you can know that it was designed after the historic Plaza Hotel.

Line for Radiohead's newspaper, The Universal Sigh, at Amoeba San Francisco

I still have about 70 photos to edit and more of the ones here to add the iphone photos which were taken

A man looked at the hundreds of people in a line which began on Haight Street in front of Amoeba Music San Francisco and snaked into a McDonald's parking lot and asked, "What band is playing?" "A newspaper" was the response from a man in the line. "A newspaper?"
But it wasn't just any newspaper the mostly young crowd was waiting for. It was Radiohead's The Universal Sigh which featured art and writing with an environmental theme which was distributed for free in cities around the world. Most let their photo be taken with iPhones to be uploaded to the paper's website.
Ally Roarty and her friend who gave her name as Britney S. gave out the papers and took photos with their iPhones.
Maxime Stinnett who teaches a student DeCal class on The Life Lyrics, and Music of Radiohead at UC Berkeley, bought the band's new album on vinyl at Amoeba and waited in line to get copies of the paper to use in teaching his class.
A woman arrived and parked her car in the street as the last people in line got their papers. She hadn't been able to get a copy of the paper at another distribution site in the Mission which ran out of the paper, so she drove to Amoeba and was able to get The Universal Sigh.
