We’re going to Paris this weekend. I’m not going to have a camera with me. This may cause more stress than staying in London would have.

Leave it to Adriana to nail exactly why Flickr’s enforcement of Yahoo ID sign-ins on their very earliest customers is a very big mistake. She also offers this point about ‘community’ online - one that a lot of marketers and self-described social media gurus would do well to understand:
A lot has been written and powerpointed […]

I received my first issue of JPG, issue 8 (”Embrace the blur”). I normally don’t dive right into magazines when they arrive, but this one was devoured instantly. I like the large size and sturdy cover, and the fact that I learned a bunch just from skimming a few articles. It’s also giving me gear […]

For reasons too convoluted to go into, I really need a webcam for my Mac, ASAP. Because of EU regulation compliance issues, the Apple iSight is completely unavailable in the UK (and the rest of Europe, for that matter). All of the Mac webcams listed on Amazon are out of stock or discontinued. A Google […]

Liberty 2006

Originally uploaded by dynamist.

I’ve uploaded mine, which include some decent shots of the National Liberal Club’s stunning library. David Farrer also has some photos from the conference on Flickr; this one is my favourite.

I just subscribed to JPG magazine (”imagemaking without attitude”) and got $5 off by using the code DOOCED (thanks, Heather!). You get a nifty pocket tripod (plus other goodies) if you subscribe for the Better or Best options. I signed up for two years, because I don’t already have enough magazines in my life, do […]

I bought a couple of these Snap Cams for the holiday season - one for Antoine’s 5-year-old nephew (it’ll be a fun project for him to do with his dad or grandfather) and one for a yet-to-be-determined child. It’s a 35mm camera that you build yourself; everything snaps into place, no glue necessary. I’m tempted […]

Well, I needed that.

Man, I love Flickr. (Brian Oberkirch’s not bad, either.)

The masthead is a cut from a picture of some nocturnally fragrant passion flowers in Shel Israel’s beautiful garden, which is also where Brian Oberkirch took the photo from which my new sidebar picture comes.

After Brian Oberkirch busted my camera in the knife fight, I had to go out and buy a new one yesterday. I snapped up a new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 with a Leica DC lens, because Blip.tv co-founder Mike Hudack has one and recommended it very highly. Even better, he came to our party in San […]

It’s a cut from a picture I took last night of the grapevines and canopy of roses in our back garden.

Buzznet is just too cumbersome and slow for me to use, and I was severely displeased with the fact that they’re throwing pop-ups at people who aren’t signed in to Buzznet accounts. Plus, everyone else is on Flickr and I was jealous at how much easier and better they all seem to have it. So […]

It’s a section of my favourite Missoni zigzag knit top (hue adjusted to purple).
