It’s my greatest creative outlet, a dog with a camera.
It’s impossible to summarize. And likely will not fully happen. Today is the last day of two weeks of the most intensive and the most rewarding work with faculty and technology, in a city I continually use my stunted Spanish to say “Me encanta Guadalajara.” So intense the blog posts have not happened. But to […]
The day I took this photo I spent most of it working on a project, and by late afternoon I realized I had not taken any photos yet. To maintain a daily photo habit, you have to sometimes find opportunity quickly. This is one of the manzanita shrubs (common in Arizona, small cousins of the […]
My long term infatuation with flickr may be my undoing… (skipping past the gripes about flickr’s design changes) (also skipping past whatever monkey goo that Google is offering for your photos) (anything else?). To me, what’s more important about flickr is what you do not see on the site or the (still partly crippled) mobile […]
There are photos that yell at you from the roadside, we just do not hear them, tuned in to the radio or just too much to our own piddly lives. This one yelled out to me from US 395 in Eastern California; I was in the middle (almost literally by mileage) of the return trip […]
Bad Alan. This has been lingering in the to do pile too long. On my route home from Canada last month, I made it a specific point to make my last stop in St George Utah, to visit Carl Berger. He’s been retired from University of Michigan for some time, but that does not mean […]
This bot of metal sculpture sits atop a bicycle shelter on the campus of Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, British Columbia. I’ve noticed in numerous times since I arrived here three months ago. It has a stylish shape. On this clear day, in mid afternoon, the light was super contrasty strong. I thought that it […]
We are rolling out today the You Show’s The Daily – a site that will generate a small creative challenge every day at 8:00am PT. A new one will be […]
Photos taken on January 1 are important to me as they are the start of a new daily photo set/album on flickr, a practice I have done every year back TO 2008. For this first day of the new year I traveled from Vancouver to Victoria via BC Ferries. It was the fourth in a […]
From some banter via twitter this morning with Clint Lalonde and Pat Lockley, it occurred to me a great challenge to Creative Commons is that the license is metadata that is usually separated from the content it refers too– e.g. it is extra code in a web page, or additional information stored with a photo […]
There’s much technically about the photo that could be better, especially the focus, and maybe a tad of a bigger number (smaller hole) aperture to the depth of field not quite the shadow. But the joy was capturing this while perched on a chair, holding the camera up over the gutter, and blind aiming down […]
