It’s my greatest creative outlet, a dog with a camera.
As if anyone is noticing, as if that even matters, but I am joyful to have closed out the Sixth Month of my Daily Photo Habit, 18 years in the running (hardly 19 years of perfection). Indeed, June 30 as Day 181 puts me over the halfway hump. Six months and batting 181/181. These last […]
Throw a party, in 2025 Flickr announces the arrival of Creative Commons version 4.0 licenses (cough, 12 years in the works?). I’d seen the announcement banner on flickr, though gave it no notice (especially since I use CC0 on my own photos, no versions needed). That is until I spotted a note from Sarah Honeychurch […]
Now I am way head of last year, when my Daily Photo Habit disappeared in late April. I have gotten through the fifth month, getting to dangerously boisterous yelling of FIVE MONTHS IN, I CAN DO ANYTHING. Well I can be three days late in blogging it. Is anyone counting? The numbers are there in […]
Last year my daily photo practice went out the window in April, I can fathom excuses from conference and vacation travel, but I lost my mojo for months. I am on track for a perfect fourth month – today on April 30, the 120th day of the years, I am sporting the same number in […]
You know the old saying, right? March, in at 60 and out at 90? Huh? Days of the year! That’s right, I made it in this years Daily Photo Act of Obsession to get to 3 months with no strikes. In 2024 I got this far and daily-ed into mid April before it went POOF. […]
Just like almost everyone with a soul, a partial mind, and a heart, I am aghast at the crumbling into a fascist pile of the country I was born in… and semi-paralyzed on the “what to do”. As mostly, a release is creating something, a visual statement, expression brimming with angry sarcasm. How literally organizations […]
Bring on the victory cheer! Now two months into the 18th round of Daily Photos posted to flickr and keeping pace with a 28/28 February on top of 31/31 January. The 2025/365 photo games remains STRONG. The month shows the winter scenes (a long stretch where we saw the place where Fahrenheit meets Celsius), yet […]
Let’s hold of the self-congratulations… nope, it’s on. I am one month into the 18th year of (trying to do) taking/posting daily photos to flickr, yes 2025/365 is game on. Like who’s counting? C’est moi. The last two years I started strong, perfect for 5 or 6 months but fell off the boat around June, […]
A three line title! There you go. I’ve written a few times about a favorite web diversion/excursion, triggered by a 6+ year old browser tool that does something magical. Think of how many times you open a new browser tab/window. What is there? White space? A few logos or thing the browser maker wants to […]
The best web gems are ones you find while looking for something else. While following some links on AI data sets I fell into Source.Plus PD12M “a highly aesthetic image-text dataset with novel governance mechanisms.” At 12.4 million image-caption pairs, PD12M is the largest public domain image-text dataset to date, with sufficient size to train […]
