It’s my greatest creative outlet, a dog with a camera.
Twas maybe ten years ago in camera years I shifted back to using my DSLR after a run of using a compact digital camera. My go to lens, the one used for easily 90% of my photos, has been the Canon 50mm f/1.4 aka “The Nifty Fifty” But because of packing up, the 1700 mile […]
Webs are not just for http protocols. They are in life itself, invisible hyperlinks, maybe random generated coincidence. And once more, filed in the bulging web of serendipity tag pile on this blog is how I came to be at a screening of a brilliant documentary Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay. […]
In ramping up for next week’s Mural UDG project on open education at the University of Guadalajara, I go back to something that, after so many years should be more enabled by technology, but is as messy as always. Giving attribution for reused photos is an old horse ridden around this blog, and this very […]
What a way to close out 2017! My very last photo uploaded to flickr made it into flickr explore. Like usual, the notification of being added to the group to tracks photos In Explore came in after midnight. I grabbed a screen shot on my phone while it was still visible above the fold: Another […]
My first resolution shall be to never again trying using a regular expression in a blog post title. And my syntax for counting matches is a bit problematic. Later today I will add the 11th flickr album set to this collection In theory my lame regex should find all the album titles in the form […]
I swear I am not a compulsive organizer. The spice rack is not alphabetical, the books and albums on the shelf are not arranged in any bibliographic schema, and I have several drawers crammed full of random stuff. But when it comes to my photos? Guilty. The end of 2018 will complete my 10th year […]
I prefer not knowing exactly how flickr picks photos to be in it’s explore featured area. It just sort of happens. I know when either there is a weird spike in activity or you get the norice that your photo has been added to the In Explore group. I’ve had a few get in there, […]
How it was done in the old days, with a film camera and a mirror. That’s my trusty old Nikkormat (sadly gpne) set up in my bathroom in Mesa. I had darkroom equipment then and processed image in the same bathroom. You kids and your sticks and mobile phones 😉 Yesterday I cracked open the […]
Hello flickr explore, it’s been a while…. Perhaps you were hungry The thing is there’s not a whole lot to say about the photo. It’s a pie. It’s the first home made apple pie of 2017, as my tree has a pretty good amount of fruit on it. The recipe is not a family secret, […]
I’ve known and used photos from Unsplash before but after a presentation on it at the Creative Commons Summit, I thought it was time to try it out with my first set of 10 photos. So I am unsplashing at https://unsplash.com/@cogdog. I tried a mix of ones from my own favorites list and ones that […]
