It’s my greatest creative outlet, a dog with a camera.
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, […]
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 […]
I went out on a walk seeking a simple photo of a mountain to use in a class assignment. We have plenty of mountains where I live (I can see one from my back deck), but it’s good to try some different shots. Getting to this ridge means walking a steep dirt driveway to a […]
For anyone following my photostream in flickr, it is hard to ignore the presence of my adopted dog, Felix. I’ve got 420 tagged photos of him in 6 months! There was really good light from the window on him yesterday as he focused on his chores of chewing bones. Often he stops what he is […]
After a few years of little use, in the last few months I’ve been semi-casually posting photos to Instagram. My primary destination remains flickr (despite repeated rumors every year of its imminent death). At night I pick one or two from my iPhone flickr app, and use its sharing option to put into Instagram. I […]
One of many pieces of Jonathan Worth wisdom to me was his differentiation, as a photographer, of the photographic print versus the digital image. Both we see as pictures, representations of the world. The business of photography, assigning a value to a photo, the laws of copyright, our idea of ownership are fixated in that […]
This photo got picked today for Flickr explore rather mind boggling for an iPhone pic sitting among so many stunning photos. The magic of explore is you cannot expect it, I thought maybe something was up when it showed 20 favorites this morning from people I do not know. And then shortly after I got […]
I owe this photo to a tweet that got me outside last night with my camera So you should enjoy this delicious cocktail and/or meteorological event while you can https://t.co/2gLznnjvmi — Dan Cohen (@dancohen) June 19, 2016 I learned in the process that a June full moon is known as a Strawberry Moon (not for […]
I saw this photo opportunity and almost hesitated. My foot was about to move me forward, but my inner voice said, “wait, there is something special in this light.” Or so that is how I imagine the voices working. This happened about 3/4 the way through one of the morning daily walks I do now […]
