It’s my greatest creative outlet, a dog with a camera.
Not that anyone is keeping score… well I am! For 2023 my double daily habits, the DS106 Daily Create and my Daily Flickr Photo routine have notched another perfect month, bringing both to 90 completions at the end of March, the 90th day of the year. This follows my streaks for both January and Feburary. Can this blistering […]
Against all common wisdom, I have been running an old operating system (10.14.6 Mojave) on my old MacBookPro (2103) to mainly use the photo management software Apple dropped in 2015 (Aperture). Yes, newer software is out there, and I have access to Lightroom via my Adobe plan I pay through the month for to get […]
Ain’t that llama a cutie? What is that smile about? Ah, it’s how this person (a.k.a..me) can stand the fact that someone is making money off of a photo I took and shared on the internets. Doesn’t a license protect me? Welcome to my unconventional corner of the Creative Commons tent, already explained in 2016: […]
Strap in (or hit eject) for a long blog ride. This has been one of those percolating drafts, meaning it has not progressed far from my head. But time is essencing. As there are a wave of steps to weave together, I am borrowing in all sense of honoring, not stealing, a section convention from […]
The daily habit is on for a two month streak! Picking up in the January pace of batting 1000 for the DS106 Daily Create and my Daily Flickr Photo habit, by the 59th day of the year being 59/59 in both. As the kid asks… Daily Flickr Photos A bit of… Not quite the Ghostbusters […]
Flickr does some very fun things for me, and my pink and blue dot loyalty planted in March 2004 remains true. One of the fun things it has done numerous times over the past 6+ years is, without much a recognizable pattern, decides to locate my photos somewhere in rural China and remote regions of […]
With grand intentions to stick to a schedule of daily challenges, by skin of my calendar teeth I am 31 for 31 days in both daily flickr photos and ds106 Daily Creates. I’ve held this pace before maybe 2 months? Does it really matter to get a perfect score (no)? But parsing some time to […]
Given there is always a kerfuffle of understanding the use of various Creative Common licenses, I am dubious about efforts to even add more to the pile (I have a sarcastic sweet spot for WTPL). But I am trying to at least be aware of stuff like TakeNode). I came across this via some stuff […]
This is like one of those things where by the time you find a solution to a problem it has already fixed itself (see also, rebooting). And it hardly merits a blog post, but heck, I can write about what I want to write about. If you’ve been around the blog a while, you might […]
The unexpected responses to online activity, sharing openly, are the things that sparks my optimism the most. This most recently happened through a flickr email notification: Hi ! Congrats! The photo 2022/365/226 In the Cloud (*that* kind of cloud) you added to the group CSSS: Canada’s Thunderstorms has been selected to be its cover photo. […]
