Interesting article. I see where he is coming from, and I am sure that many photographers have been thinking about the impact of technology on street photography, myself included. However, I am not totally convinced on some parts of his argument.

Yesterday I posted a link to an article by Marina Hyde critical of Google's tax arrangements in Britain. Below there is a link to Eric Schmidt's view of those tax arrangements, and a call for tax reform. Schmidt, for those of you who are not aware, is the chairman of Google. I am keeping my own thoughts to myself, at the moment.

I apologize, my friends, if I haven't been here that often... I have not only been in a quite introspective mood, but also my tablet stopped working. I usually switch the computer on once a day, mostly for doing something with it. I am saving at the moment to get a new tablet, as I like to drop on my social media a few minutes every so often, depending of what I am doing. Yes, I have a smartphone, it has a small (but good) screen, so I don't really use it for this purpose.

A very interesting article, which I wholly agree with...

Some interesting information in it, such as the 11 year old of a Google executive being in a Steiner inspired school, where Google is banned...

Anyway, guys, I've spent too long on the computer, there are (still) cats to play with, and there is something called FOOD, too... 

I won't be posting for a week, or so, but I'll be snooping on your posts, you lot...

ARTISTS! If you're sharing your work on Google+ there's one important new "feature" you're going to want to disable immediately! Auto Enhance.
You know those colors you slaved over for hours to get just right? Google+ thinks it can do better, and if you don't turn it off it will boost up the saturation and blow out the contrast, forcing you to go back to every image individually to undo it.
Or, you can nip it in the bud right now. Go to the left to make the pop up menu appear, hit settings, and uncheck the box I've highlighted below.

+Google+ ,  I am not bloody interested at all in your stupid photographic enhancement facility. Just crap. YOu cannot tell me that you can improve on my images, when you don't know what I am after when I take, and process them.

THis is just gimnick, youy are transforming Google+ more and more like Facebook and Instagram.

This new look is just crap! Ever so confusing, and it seems that Google, masters of search, are messing about with it.

WOMAN THREATENED BY SHADOW DISAPPEARS!

After many hours looking for her, no traces found at all, we have to conclude that she must have been abducted by an alien spacecraft.

Ilu 2000-2013

Today, near 1 pm GMT, Ilu died. 

She has been battling with breast cancer since January, when she was diagnosed with it. Her first operation was then. She recovered, but the cancer came back. A second operation was delayed as there were concerns about her kidneys. When she was operated, the surgeon dug quite deep in her to eliminate any traces of the cancer. She was spaded, too. However, the wound was not healing, so she had to go back to the operating table to be restitched. She recovered from that, finally about 3 weeks ago. Then she started to cough, and her appetite went down. 10 days ago she was prescribed with antibiotics, as the vet didn't think those symptoms were related to the cancer. Those tablets (which she hated to take) didn't do anything. Last Monday we found out that the cancer was spreading, there were tumours on her lungs. By then, she... more »
