Light at the end

To all those who lost so much in the recent California Fires, you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Getting Back Home

For some the road is their home, but most of us like a clean, well lighted place to call our own. A place to come back to and rest before we find ourselves on the road again.
The bright side

Two things strike me in all of this.
First the way the media interviews people, almost taunting them to just admit that they are victims and somehow it's the all the Government's fault. The surprise and disappointment in the in the reporter's reaction to the answers they've been getting brings me to the second thing I've noticed.
The resolve of Californians in the face of this tragedy. Most got out of harm's way, though they knew they could lose everything. There seemed to be spirit of cooperation in the locations where people we evacuated to. People pulled together, people volunteered, peopled helped each other.
When interviewed by the media, people stated that they were grateful and happy to be alive. They accept the fact that fire is part of life in California. They are already planning to start rebuilding, as early as next week if they can.
I'm not sorry that the media couldn't spin this. I'm very proud that the true character of Californians has been there for the world to see. In the face of a disaster we look at the bright side of things!

Down to the river

Fire is one of California's seasons, which seem to be drought, fire, winds and floods.
Right now these seasons are overlapping, though the flooding will come later. Let's hope we can get these fires out quickly without the tragic loss of life, the loss of property is a given. As always, we'll need some help from Nature.
God bless and protect our brave fire personnel!

Last Splash

When I'm processing the images, I tend to get bored. Sunset, another sunset, another sunset.... You get the drift.
In the case of this image, rather than delete it, I thought I'd have some fun with Photoshop. I added what is supposed to be a big water drop. Personally, I like the way it turned out.
What did the Microstock folks think of it? Two out of three rejected it. Over filtered they said. Really? That's the whole point. Something a little different, and slightly creative. We do live in a digital age.

Path too deep

Ahhh, yes Grasshopper: Path too deep, time for you to go.
So, what does this all mean? Well according to Microsoft: The maximum length of the combined system and user-defined path variables is 1,023 characters not including the “path=” portion.
WOW... The problem I had wasn't related to this, but the computer thought it was. All this is just part of a bunch of server related issues now plaguing staff. I was told it's a bandwidth issue, really, since when are simple things like saving files, or even opening them cause for bandwidth issues? Hmmmmm
What''s the I.S. Department's motto: excuses not solutions, or something like that.

Tangled Web

Last night was just such an occasion, and I was fortunate to see a recap of what the London Salon of Photography choose as the best of their 2006 entries. It is an interesting experience to see this and hear the narrator's comments.

Merging the Lines

What prompted this? Well if you were late to the game of microstock, this is one way to substantially increase your contributor base and stock image inventory in one fell swoop.
The game's afoot...

Bustin' Loose

I'm trying to post some of the images I took during my Photowalking excursion, such as this one.
Photowalking is a blast BTW, and I'm looking forward to being able to do it again sometime soon. Time being the key word, I never seen to have any extra...
You'll always be

The first time I ran across this, half the face was missing which drew me to it. It's been repaired, but still begs to be photographed.

Inviting

Alamy made it official: 10,000,000 images online and for sale. That's huge! They also announced that they are moving ahead with plans to enhance their site, search engine, and expand their business. All good.
For me, I've gotten through my first round of the new upload/QC procedure and am in the process of reworking my keywording to meet some of the changes already implemented by
Almay.
I'm also trying out Zoomr not for stock, but just to share some images and exchange ideas with other folks with a passion for photography.

Extreme low tides transform the California coast, providing rare opportunities to explore the treasures that usually just life beneath the sea.
