No, I don't care about the look and feel, but I do care passionately about the truncated text. I'm done until it's fixed.

I turned off the Auto Enhance for images

I don't care how stinky my photos are, leave them the fuck alone. Just saying. (It tried to auto enhance one of my +Artistic Google and before I realized what had happened, I thought I'd screwed up and saved something wrong.) Cool technology, perhaps, but no thanks.

A Girl in the Sunset

A friend of mine and I visited Daiba Park, Tokyo a couple of weeks ago. We were waiting for the sunset there, when the rain clouds covered the sky. We gave up the idea of shooting the sunset from the park, and started walking toward the shopping area where we thought we would wait until the sky cleared up. But we were caught in the rain on the way. We had to take shelter under the eaves of the public facilities on the beach ... It was not the perfect place to hide. But we soon realized we were at the perfect spot, because we were able to see the sun setting right behind the Rainbow Bridge. It was a breathtaking view.

Assuming you have nothing better to do for the next 97 seconds

Speed photo-manipulation. It might be a stretch to call it Speed art, but at least you get to stare at Jennifer Lawrence the whole time and pretend to be arty. Do yourself a favor and watch it in HD.

How about Slow Moe (full story, Google+ Reads episode 2), or Pull Your Pud for Little Miss Spud (Google+ Reads episode 8), Jack Rises Again (full story, Google+ Reads episode 5) ? After all, these stories aren't going to listen to themselves you know.

::: Projects | Photography
Mamika by Sacha Goldberger

A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed.
To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations.
Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn't stop smiling.

Frederika was born in Budapest 20 years before World War II.
During the war, at the peril of her own life, she courageously saved the lives of ten people. When asked how, Goldberger told us “she hid the Jewish people she knew, moving them around to different places every day.”
As a survivor of Nazism and Communism, she then immigrated away from Hungary to France, forced by the Communist regime to leave her homeland illegally or face death.

I'm thinking that Barnes & Noble's PubIt needs a new web designer

There are so many ways you could present all this that wouldn't squeeze the title to the point where it takes three lines for three words. Like, make in B&N Identifier/Publisher's ISBN and stack them on top of each other. Anyway, just my pet peeve for the day (though thank you to the person who bought this!)

Remember the authors!

It is the first of the month, and that means a lot of indie authors visit Amazon and see tan lines like those below. Authors tend to feel very sad when they see them, so I thought this might help you share our pain. Won't you support my #NoTanLines campaign? Visit Amazon or B&N or Smashwords or wherever, and show the lovely authors you know (even the guys!) that you hate these sorts of tan lines too by buying a book. #SupportIndieAuthors

The Stroll

I stopped by Pleven, Bulgaria for +Artistic Google, and saw a nice young couple out for a stroll with their child. Or perhaps a very pampered poodle. Whatever. The original is at http://goo.gl/maps/EtZ6p. I am going to post a speed art version of the process to demystify it for those who feel intimidated. The Stroll (speed art)

The #artisticgoogle baby buggy bumper-car brigade is led by +Jamal Masood, +Chee Yow, +Jan McCartney, +Patrick Sheeran and, with bells on, +Rob Robinson.

Do you like Speed Art?

I did one of these, One minute to Dream Vacation (speed art), and I've seen others do them, but I'm curious if you like watching the process. They are fun to make, but perhaps they are simply self-indulgent. (Like I have a problem with self-indulgence. Ha!)

Though he feels it bend, yet he sings his song, 
Knowing that he has wings."
