I would let you peek into my soul just for a moment. But how long that moment would be will always be decided based on which window you chose to look through.

Les algorithmes sont-ils responsables de la solitude grandissante qui rampe dans nos villes et nos campagnes ?
Tout dépend de ce qu'on entend par "algorithmes", bien sûr.
En tout cas, tandis que l'informatisation agressive des services publics élargit la fracture sociale qui sépare les plus pauvres de ceux qui ne sont pas suspects par défaut de manque de mérite, la solitude, elle, se voit, s'entend, se ressent, se vit... Au milieu des motifs pavés.
An algorithm concludes that this is an Eastern Gray Squirrel. It is from the same group as the earlier one that was all red. This one looks somewhat like a Fox Squirrel but not exactly so.
I have more work to do on IDing these squirrels.

Hier je vous ai réalisé un petit portrait en cabine pour Noel , ça faisait longtemps 😉
Et j'en ai également profité pour faire quelques poses longues. Toujours très aléatoires , celle-ci est pas trop mal je trouve .
Song by Muse.
algorithmic rejection, nibbling away at my soul, painless pin-prick, shouldn't care, don't really, really don't. three-d to two-d to one-d, then a point, then fade to black, all still there, still there. turn the page, see, still there, still here. still.

More fractal art !
Fractal art is a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations, and media. Fractal art developed from the mid-1980s onwards. It is a genre of computer art and digital art which are part of new media art.

▶ WHAT IS EXPLORE?
"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.
Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.
Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.
Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

While archiving images I rediscovered the vitality of the lake in August when the wind caressed the surface of the mountains, pushing the sails forward and up until the illusion that windsurfers and kitesurfers were touching the clouds. Open in the development program the first function to appear was "delete people" the curiosity to see how accurate it could be I agreed to click, fortunately the passive resistance of the human pixels in the background, does not make it the dystopia we are living in the reality of these weeks.
Fun with fractals!
I would say I was stuck in New Orleans due to a vehicle failure but the fact is I LOVE being home in New Orleans, so stuck is NOT the right word! Vehicle failure IS correct however. Ken had to fly home for work- me?! Lucky me,

“Days of life
That seemed so unimportant
They seem to matter
And to count much later on”
—Genesis, “Fading Lights”
Everything at Imagine Dragons is too round, algorithmically perfect. What a festival rock fan expects is twofold: vocalist with positive speeches, strong percussion and overcoming lyrics, for example.
With two Lollapaloozas in the bag, Imagine Dragons debuted at Rock in Rio near its peak. The U2 of this end of the decade does not skimp on shredded paper and vowel refrain. It has insistent guitar riff, but also some hip hop (diluted but present) and, new to this tour, more arrangements with electronic footprint. It was a live test of the strength of the Imagine Dragons.

23 songs.
Shots (part of the 7th. song of 23 songs)
Am I out of touch?
Am I out of my place?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for an empty space
Oh, I'm wishing you're here
But I'm wishing you're gone
I can't have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the meantime we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved
Am I out of luck?
Am I waiting to break?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for a way to escape
Oh, I'm wishing I had what I'd taken for granted
I can't help you when I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the meantime we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

Penultimate band to perform at Rock in Rio 2019, Imagine Dragons released the setlist that will play at the festival. They promise to make 23 songs this Sunday in Rock in Rio. Highlight for the group's best-known song, "Radioactive", which ends the presentation of the Americans.

Full live concert at Rock in Rio 2019:
I don't fight algorithms. Instagram's is firmly against whatever I do, which made me think of what I could do in the real world, outside of social media. So I made a zine, and Billie is the on the cover. The process was mildly frustrating, but that could be because I condensed it into a week and a half and did it all myself. But I love the end result: a tangible record of the first quarter of this year that people can hold, and have, and share, flipping through it and sitting with the moments I made and had fun with. Books are huge projects that require way too much money and advertising. But a zine? I can make them on the cheapest paper, and give them to people by hand. It seems that no matter what I end up doing with art, whether it's the act of photography or sharing it, it all ends up in an analog format in the end.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 7th 2018 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #80. This is my 103rd photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 17.950 Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****
