Nudes on Imagekind

A recent newcomer on the scene is Imagekind, and while it is new it already has a huge amount of traffic. having connectivity to flickr helps as well – although it would be nice to se more interoperability there – perhaps a link on flickr pages as well and an organization screen that runs in Safari (grr – I have to open firefox each time!) Flickr wont accept over 10meg either unfortunately which means that I do use some of my realestate on imagekind as well for the bigger files (and bigger prints) I love being able to design a frame that goes with it and to have some social interactions.

Portentious

does it feel like a time of portents to anyone else? as I watched the eclipse tonight I was struck by how everything feels like it is coming full circle. some things are drawing to a close, wrapping up.

500!

I just noticed that the last post made 500 posts on my blog! This is 501 which strikes me as oddly appropriate given the new directions I am moving in. I am also at 495 comments – so close!

New Look

Well, modifications are almost complete on my new Blog format. I think it is looking pretty good so far. the top right will have a featured artwork- I’m currently working out how it will work and look.

Apathy

it’s funny – it was doing so well last year that I panicked and stopped working on it. I have a fear of letting people down – so I stop and let them down….. but for some reason it’s been hard to get things out on my keyboard.

Nudity is an insult in Iraq

Car bombings, kidnappings, gunfights and mortar blasts litter the landscape of life. Check points have been established to ensure obedience to strict dress codes.When there is no expression of the human imagination, what remains is violence and hatred…. If the individual expression of human creativity is suppressed, what is left?Karen Macedonio: If Human Creativity Dies, What is Left?

hibernation

everyone is finding this winter difficult. I don’t know whether it’s the bitter weather or the bad viral strains around but a general malaise seems to have settled over everything. I have spent a good portion of it sick and sore as it now appears that my back can predict the weather and is doing it’s best impression of an overfilled hot water bottle.
