Old Photos!

http://www.psybernet.co.nz/kwrj/index.html

I have boxes of negatives in the attic. Boxes of negatives and prints waiting to be put in albums. Slides I want to digitalise etc. etc.

It is an organic mess! I hate to put my trust in Flickr – even though it works well and supposedly we could get them out they seem to have new long numerical file names.

I stumbled on this family pix! Not that old – only a decade or so but fun to find… they sort of work. And linking to them here will give them life.

The index to these pre-flikr efforts follows:

Think Different

Adding this to my manifesto collection. It is a bit over hyped right now, but it fits into my collection.

From here

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. – Apple Inc.

The Soft Edge

I find it very hard to live on the soft edge. I crave order, but can’t really find it of course. I like the hard edge, everything in neat little boxes, with an index and rules for access et. etc. But it is no way to live… computers are forcing us too much in that direction. Developing more tolerance for the mess is important. Perhaps it is not a mess, it is all birth, becoming, framentation and death!

This outline meditation helps – it is in itself a hard edge form, to find the soft edge. This is so relevant to me right now as Kate seems to manage that soft space, and I freak out!

Back to Flickr

Testing it here, but wanting to use this on In this moment… my art blog This is one of my early ThousandSketches

How and where to share photos remains a problem IMO. Flickr is rather wonderful but it is in the hands of yahoo, which is a gross company. I’ve hated them ever since they bought egroups and messed them up.

I have never managed the WordPress upload system well, perhaps that would be ok, but it is nice to have all my pix on a photo site that is social and public, yet not the blog. Zenphoto was ok, I had a series of rather nice albums. But it got out of date and let in the hack attack perhaps. Hard to maintain. There is a lot to be said for Flickr – WordPress, Facebook, twitter integration, slideshows, email sharing etc
