Yahoo’s misplaced focus ruined every aspect of Flickr that was ahead of the curve, and so they became behind all of them.

‘The script is called coordinate, and it works like this: While I’m taking a bunch of photos at a spot with the G10, I take a single photo with the iPhone. When I have all the images transferred to my computer I run `coordinate -g iphone.jpg IMG*` and the GPS data is read from the iPhone image (iphone.jpg) and copied to all the files from the G10 (IMG*). Boom.’

Heartwarming. Sixty photos of the world becoming just a little bit happier.

“Matthew McVickar designs these Cameramail packages with disposable film-cameras taped to their front and a note exhorting posties to take pictures of themselves and environs as the package passes through their custody.”

“I love the idea of this project by web designer Matthew McVickar. He sent this camera in the mail with a message asking the postal workers to take pictures on the camera’s trip to its destination. The result is fun and educational, and it would be a great school project for any teachers out there.”

I was interviewed by Debra Black at the Toronto Star this morning.

“For Matthew McVickar the idea of sending a disposable camera attached to a piece of cardboard was intriguing. What kind of pictures would one get, he wondered? Would the camera make it to its destination?”

“no nasty pics, im surprised”

“that's a great idea but the pictures aren't as fun as one would've imagined”

My cameramail project was featured again, this time on Lomography.

Artist does concrete sculpture installations in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Excellent.

Jamie creates animated GIFs by selectively animating a portion of a photograph. These are wonderful and a little creepy.

They featured my cameramail thing from, like, five years ago!

Combining hundreds of landmark snapshots into one ghostly, layered photo.

“Series of photographic works entitled ‘Photo Opportunities’, from hundreds of snapshots of tourist locations found on the Internet. By collecting and then bringing together successive layers of around a hundred similar ‘photo souvenirs’, these images conjure up questions about representation and memory of places.”

Getting people to re-enact old photos. Wonderful.

“I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.”

Using Photo Booth and Automator to print out a strip of three photos. Neat.

Stunning.

Nice bleedy exposures.

Great, modern, hip photography.

Playful and ironic photos and little installations.

A gallery of nice "large-format landscape and architectural work" photos by Guy Sargent.

From Justin Ouellette. For future reference.

"And then the police came."

A blog featuring the best foods Americans ever invented.

Beautiful photographs to demonstrate words.

Excellent photos of quirky things and suspended objects.

This is fun to browse through. "From an initial gift of eight prints and one drawing, The Museum of Modern Art's collection has grown to include 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects. MoMA also owns some 22,000 films, videos, and media works, as well as film stills, scripts, posters and historical documents. The Museum's Library contains 300,000 books, artist books, and periodicals, and the Museum Archives holds approximately 2,500 linear feet of historical documentation and a photographic archive of tens of thousands of photographs, including installation views of exhibitions and images of the Museum's building and grounds."

Cute and well-done.

"Technically, these photographs are beautifully constructed and each one shows us a distinctive human personality underneath the costumes. Does the objective gaze of the camera necessarily leave us trapped outside or is it possible for us to see some of ourselves in these people? Do these images estrange us from these Furries (featured today) or Cosplayers (featured next time)? Or do they allow us to recognize the creativity and craftsmanship of their work, the ways that they draw together personal mythology to move beyond the more mundane aspects of their everyday lives? What do you see when you look at these images?"

Pretty muted colors and textures. "When texturizing an image, I usually play with a few layers of different textures. These are some of the base textures I use along with other stock textures."

A huge mural of candid portraits at a train station.

I knew this was inevitable! "We aim to re-start production of analog INTEGRAL FILM for vintage Polaroid cameras in 2010. We have acquired Polaroid's old equipment, factory and seek your support."

"Transform your photos into tilt-shift style miniatures."

Count down to Christmas with amazing photos that will remind you just how scary-big this place is.

Filip Dujardin is an architect who in his spare time puts together photographs of buildings to form new structures.

This is fantastic. Strangers, asked to touch one another for a photograph. The photography itself is excellent, and the subjects are too. It's touching.

Beautifully stark architectural photos. I love this stuff.

Excellent photography of places and objects, with a vaguely Americana feel.

Beautiful photographs, at once empty and full. This set is called "Silent World" by whoever put this page together, but I can't find any reference to that collection on Kenna's website, so I think this is a fan mashup.

A truly awesome collection.

This pretty much sums it up.

This is super-fun.

Photographs stretching back to 2004. There are some wonderful shots here.

"The Chandra X-ray Observatory, which was launched and deployed by Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999, is the most sophisticated X-ray observatory built to date. The mirrors on Chandra are the largest, most precisely shaped and aligned, and smoothest mirrors ever constructed. Chandra is helping scientists better understand the hot, turbulent regions of space and answer fundamental questions about origin, evolution, and destiny of the Universe. The images Chandra makes are twenty-five times sharper than the best previous X-ray telescope."

The lost art of laser-informed portraiture. Plenty to like here. Especially the guy with the ladder.

"Asako Narahashi’s series 'half awake and half asleep in the water,' at Yossi Milo Gallery in New York (July 17-August 22, 2008), shows Japan’s coastal areas as seen from the sea. Using a waterproof camera and watching the tide instead of the viewfinder, Narahashi captures a vision of Japan—and of the world—that is at once calming, eerie, enchanting, and unsettling. She is only occasionally swallowed by waves in the process. "

In which album covers become an extension of reality, and vice versa.

A nice scrapbook. "...we’re wading through a sea of lame to mediocre ads, photographs, illustrations, and websites. What can we do but start collecting the worst of it and shame it until it disappears? Of course there’s the other end of the spectrum, too. The beautful uglyiness of urban decay and childish drawings and David Bowie. I hope that stays, and I will do what I can to add to it."

Billboards from below. Reminds me of walking around Tokyo and Boston at night, looking up.

"Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to create mesmerizing and intriguing art. In a world obsessed with superficial appearance it is a refreshing change to be able to look beyond the surface."

Donkey Kong, Mario, and other classic game bits Photoshopped into photographs. Well done.

"Unleash the POWER in your PowerShot!" Add RAW support, scripting, and more to Canon cameras that couldn't support it before. (My A520 is not currently supported.)

Beautiful, deadly.

"Almost fifteen years after my mandatory military duty ended, I went back to several Israeli army bases, using the medium of photography as a vehicle to re-enter this world."

An interesting poetry event to which I went and at which I read and took a few photos.

"desire paths... the imprints of 'foot anarchists', individuals who had trodden their own routes into the landscape, regardless of the intentions of government, planners and engineers..."

Explanatory stills from (and a link to) the fantastic new Spoon video.

Check out "things for sale i will mail you" and everything else. Cute and creative and solemn and exuberant. Wonderful.

"Think of your favorite teddy bear. Now imagine it’s been ripped open, gutted, and turned inside-out. That’s what Kent Rogowski’s Bears series has done to the iconic stuffed animals of our childhoods."

If, for some reason, FlickrExport ever fails me.

A huge collection of excellent drawings, realist (and surreal) photography, painting, collages, and more. Good for wasting a few hours and wishing you were cooler.

An excellent set of underwater photography capturing the quirky and beautiful.

Another guide to Hawaiian birds. More thorough, but fewer varieties.

The professional work of Jason Nocito; absolutely fantastic and blissed-out. Check out the landscape-portraits.

The personal photography of Jason Nocito. Comparing and contrasting, visual puns and stoned friends, the elevation of the mundane. Fantastic!

A wonderful idea, brilliantly executed. I'd love a print of this.

"A politically charged photography exhibition" -- she took away her subjects' lollipops and photographed them. Caught flak. Wanted "to convey that the children, if they knew, would be really upset about the way the world is going."

Tool to find which of your photos have been listed in Flickr's "Interestingness"-based "Explore" page.

In the darkroom, you can tilt the photo paper onto which film is projected to get a focal scheme that makes the picture's subject look like a miniature model. Here's how to do it in Photoshop!

In food, wall sockets, lamps, buildings, trees, tents. More fun and uncanny than you think it'll be. Why does it cheer us up to see human expressions in inanimate objects?

Ending shots of old movies. Nice style and typography.

The Demekin camera closeup, with instructions.

"Demekin" is Japanese a type of fish; this is a really small fisheye lens camera. I just got one in the mail from my friend Kaname!

Beautiful paper sculpture.

Awwww.

Exploring the tunnels beneath Canada's metropolitan areas, replete with excellent photography.
