I had to post this one. I read today in the Sydney Morning Herald about hundred of Japanese people being scammed. Whats’ so unusal about that you ask? People get scammed all the time. But this one takes the cake. It seems a company called Poodles as Pets has been selling poodles to Japanese customers for $1600(AU). [...] For some reason I’ve been thinking about my missing brother today. His name was Greg, and he disappeared while traveling in India in 1995. He was 36 at the time. And so I thought I’d link to a hypertext I made a few years back when I was in university. There is a bit of [...] I wish I was going… It’s in Melbourne next weekend. If you’ve never heard of it, PMA Australia 2007 is a huge imaging technology expo, and being held in conjunction with it this year are the AIPP national awards. I have entered a few prints and hopefully I will be able to repeat my [...] Me and my son Eddie, and a shot entitled Sit Still. I can only speak for myself of course, but for me parenting is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Not that it’s all bad. Actually, it’s mostly really, really good.

The Political compass sets values across two scales, one social and one economic. This presents a much more accurate idea of where an individual stands politically. I do this quiz fairly regularly, and depending on [...] This leads directly from my last post, as I got to thinking more about the idea that the framework (the website) is not nearly as influential to the way we look at and discuss photography as the user. Certainly the Internet and the overflow of digital imagery that we are now experiencing has a big [...] I sniffed around the edges of Flickr for several years. At first I didn’t really get how it operated, then I didn’t feel I had a need for it, and I found it overly large (and that was several years ago). Maybe it was a small thing like the design as well. There are so [...] If you don’t know, UPDIG stands for UNIVERSAL PHOTOGRAPHIC DIGITAL IMAGING GUIDELINES. This is a set of guidelines developed for digital imaging by the UPDIG Working Group, descibed on their website as “A working group of digital imaging professionals and allied trade groups and manufacturers, dedicated to promoting worldwide standards in the commercial application of [...] Photography is not a poor man’s hobby. It can be of course, but it’s one of those things that the more money you throw at it, the better the image quality becomes. That says nothing of technical or artistic merit fortunately, as that’s where the poor man can have his revenge on the wealthy showoff [...] |
