Just bringing the rest of you up to speed! We’ve been busy!
I Love Flickr
In addition to just being awesome, they have nice people at the top.
(This is in regard to that “whole thing” I mentioned at the end of the last post.)
JPG Magazine
I can’t spend too long on this because I have a study schedule to stick to, but if you’ve been living under a rock… or if you just don’t spend your life on Flickr (same diff, no?!), then there was a huge upset in the photographic world yesterday. JPG Magazine, which is a print magazine comprised of themed submissions from “regular” photographers, was created by Heather Champ and Derek Powazek. Used to be (2 days ago) that when you went to JPG Magazine’s “About” page, you got this. That link tells of how Heather and Derek (a married couple) founded the magazine. Well now the site contains no mention of either of them and no longer contains the contents of the first 6 issues on the site. Flickr people are pissed, and we’re all deleting our JPG Magazine accounts.
Like I said, I don’t have time to write it all out, but here are some more detailed descriptions of what has happened:
And then there’s this whole thing.
Good grief!
Sick of Myself
Do you ever get sick of yourself? I’ve been feeling really sick of myself lately. Like I want to make the big humongous Abby personality get really little and fit on to one piece of paper instead of the entire damn internet. As a side effect of this overall feeling, as well as some security concerns, I’ve taken to making huge sections of my blog private. Why? I don’t know. There’s too much of me everywhere, I guess. I know I’ll never achieve wallflower status in any way, but sometimes, I like the idea of trying.
Origami at Alibi Bar
Ever go to a bar and sit next to a guy reading The Art of War and doing Origami? I have.
