View allAll Photos Tagged Cyberspace,
I find it hard to believe, but two years ago this week I uploaded the original of this image to Flickr. Little did I know that this photo that I snapped in our garden would change my photography interest from a new hobby to a passion.
However, the totally unexpected popularity of the original image led several people to my photostream from the Flickr universe. One was a newspaper editor who later used a different image of mine on a cover. A second was a marketing manager who used another image in a worldwide ad campaign. And then there was yet another Flickr member who encouraged me to join a stock agency and start selling my images.
All of that happened because this one delightful frog was kind enough to magically appear in my garden one morning..... and because the wonderful Flickr community was kind enough to notice the image in cyberspace. I call that remarkable confluence of events the "magic of Flickr".
I thank all of you who have frequented my photostream over the last couple of years. Without your visits and encouragement, I would never have had the wonderful photographic journey that started with this frog....

Time is relative. Some people have it, others don't. Sometimes five minutes seem like eternity, other times the hours fly by. Yet in the history of mankind, these are no more than the blink of an eye.
Real eternities last longer. Much longer. Three thousand three hundred and forty-five years, for example. That's how long a young man lay in a chamber beneath the dusty desert sands of Egypt. Until on November 4th 1922 - 100 years ago today - a curious Englishman knocked on the door: Howard Carter was firmly convinced that he would find the tomb of the legendary Pharaoh here, in the Valley of the Kings near the Upper Egyptian city of Luxor. For weeks, months, years, the archaeologist had scratched around in the dust, blowing almost all of his patron's money. He had been laughed at and insulted and was already on the verge of giving up - but he still wanted to make one last attempt.
And so, on this world-historical 4th of November, he did indeed come across a stone block. Uncovered it. Found a second. Third. Fourth. There, a wall! He approached with a candle. Punched a hole in the wall and shone the light in: a passageway! Then keep digging. Another hole. "The hot air made the candle flicker," Carter later wrote of the most important moment of his life, "but as my eyes adjusted to the light, details of the room slowly emerged from the mist, strange animals, statues and gold - the glint of gold everywhere!"
Howard Carter discovered more than 5,000 objects in the tomb: jewels, weapons, clothing, games, furniture, cosmetics - and of course the most spectacular find in archaeology: the golden death mask of the pharaoh Tutankhamun and his coffin of pure gold, encased in two other gilded wooden coffins and a mighty sarcophagus of quartzite, protected by statues of the goddesses Isis, Nephtys, Selket and Neith.

I have always wanted to do a Tron themed shot for a while but never knew what to do, but gave in today and just gave it a go. I didn't have access to put a bike in the studio so i just had to lie a mattress on its side and use it that way to suspend me correctly into the right position. Worked quite well but i cheated a lot for this one as i'm not feeling well and didn't want to spend too long on it. Looks better as a thumbnail as it's not great quality but whats done is done.
Im off to medicate myself now with as much as possible. See you guys later...
Exploring Twisted Cyberspace. Twisted Hunt Spring 2020 Continues... Info & links on my Dark Blog ~ aznanasaccouterments.blogspot.com/2020/03/ts202.html
Today, with all of our whizzing technology and ability to instantly connect with each other, why does the mailbox and its contents maintain its allure?
I like to think it's because of a number of factors.
First, you can't receive mail if someone isn't aware that you are a living, breathing presence on this planet and somehow inserted into the universe of anyone who sends mail to you. Even junk mail, which pops up like a whack-a-mole no matter how many cancellations you may execute, serves to reinforce to you that your existence and ability to make business decisions that affect a company is important to a degree.
Second, mail has three dimensions. You can touch and hold it, like a talisman that gives you protection, or a stone that comforts you in a jacket pocket. It has depth and weight. You can sometimes smell the ink in letters. If real ink is used, it has the capacity to be smeared if you're not careful. Real hand writing has personality and character that speaks directly about the sender; the fonts of texts and emails can be customized by a receiver, but that's about you, not a contained interaction between you and someone else.
Lastly, the act of waiting, of anticipating the arrival of a specific piece of mail, is a societal ritual experienced by everyone at one time or another. Draft notices, college acceptance or rejection letters, Christmas cards, or the arrival of a new credit card are all experiences which are visceral and three-dimensional, not experienced through cyberspace.
Even the most reclusive and anti-social of us will generally rent a P.O. Box somewhere. We are basically social creatures at heart; to be seen by sky and land is almost enough, but we want and need more; we crave tangible evidence of our and others' presence, to know that we are not alone.
The Oatman Highway, Arizona.
So.
One year on Flickr today... And what to show for it? And will anyone actually read what I write anyway? And do I care? (I don't know if I do or not.)
I uploaded a big bunch of shots to Flickr originally as another space online to show my work, believing that by prostituting my work and my name across photography cyberspace it would slowly but surely help to spread what I do around and maybe help me get more work, or at least be recognised more. Flickr was a small part of a grander plan...
And then I started to fall flat out of love with taking photos, particularly those for people and models who wished for nothing more than to create as much pain and stress as possible. Fashion and portraits are what I did really... I spent nearly three months of the last year without physically touching the camera, but then as my mentor, ex lecturer and friend Dave White said to me recently:
"As for the dry spell - fuck it. You are a serious photographer who uses the camera as a medium. That is, as a vehicle to carry your thoughts...
So, it's hardly surprising that you aren't sure yet, what you want to say about your new situation. You've barely had time to see it, let alone get to grips with what it means and how to translate it into pictures. You had 20 odd years (and let's face it, they were odd) to develop a vision of people, places and things around here. (The UK.)
I would be worried, if you e-mailed to say you were snapping away happily. That would make you the kind of lightweight git we always tried to persuade to give up the classes as quickly as possible. You know, the ones who thought that if they pointed their Leica at any glittery surface or grand landscape, the photo was bound to be interesting and that they had nothing to learn because they had found out long ago that asking themselves any awkward questions only made their bollocks ache.
Take your time. Keep fit. Eat well. Sleep after shagging. Read poetry. Look at the sea. Do not think about the camera. When the time is right, it will get down from the shelf, dust itself off and tap you on the shoulder."
And so it has come to be that Flickr has become more of a personal insight into me and my thoughts, the personal side of the commercial picture taker in making. I still itch physically to shoot people again, to find some model and sit her down and shoot her in a way that noone else would. To show you her eyes and make you wonder, to undress her and show you her soul naked not her body, to dress her again and make you wish for a backward step. The itch to shoot people gets stronger by the day, yet my desire to express myself in whichever bloody way I feel like at the time grows with more vigour still. I shoot more landscapes now than I ever did. I think more now than I have for some time and yet end up picking up the camera and putting it down more now knowing I won't do my thoughts justice.
I see Richard, Memetic and August's effortlessly beautiful way of photographing life and people with aching simplicity but more beauty than I'll ever manage and feel both downheartened and inspired. I see the self portrait work of Laurel, Melissa, Ally, Sarah and Charlie and feel both deep envy in not being able to record the models I shoot and will shoot with such delicacy, inspiration to try sometime soon, and all whilst trying to hide the fact I might just possibly think they're all very yummy! There are others in this category!
I see the emerging photographic talents and desire to want to say things with their pictures of Angela, and Nicole and smile to myself, safe in the knowledge that whilst there are people out there getting the bug for photography like these girls, the future is safe. I smile sometimes at their innocence and visual immaturity and realise that half the time I recognise the same past mistakes I made, and the other half being awoken that they're better than I am.
(And then I become conscious most of the people I link to are pretty women... *sigh* *blush* *sigh for being a predictable bloke*)
I see the work of Matt and Brent (keep smiling Brent!) and remember that I thank someone upstairs that when I moved to NZ it meant I'd meet people like these guys who just care for nothing else other than the picture itself. No gear nerds, no willy waving, no massaging of egos (much) just really good photos and more talent in their little finger than half of Flickr put together.
And after all that I learn one thing. Flickr is Facebook for photos. It's a feeding ground for photographic minds and inspiration. It's opened my mind and swayed my thoughts and introduced me to so many people I enjoy talking to and checking out their images. Yet I think it's done absolutely f**k all for my photography. I don't feel I've learned a single thing or progressed one step in this last year, just allowed myself to feel vaguely comfortable to wallow in my own photographic ramblings and self pity.
Perhaps this Flickr thing is a journey? Perhaps like many journeys it only becomes clear after ten thousand steps? Perhaps it's just a pointless time thief and I'm thinking about it too much? Hopefully though, the next year will bring changes...

In this odyssey through the digital expanse,
Where bytes dance in a symphony of code,
I traverse the labyrinth of cyberspace,
Seeking refuge in its boundless embrace.
With every click and tap of the keys,
I carve out a passage, a journey unique,
Unfettered by the weight of history's chains,
Guided by the luminance of the screen's glow.
Though darkness threatens to engulf,
And echoes of bygone days reverberate,
I discover solace in the pixelated panorama,
For within cyberspace, liberation reigns supreme.
Soundtrack: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjXG9Y495Us
In our virtual world, where so much takes place in the vapor zone known as cyberspace, the feel of the ground below my feet, coupled with the familiar scents, sights and sounds on this ridge where we live, gives me comfort. I call it serenity of place.
Speaking of a sense of place: here's my live and very personal rock n' roll version of a country tune that definitely invokes a sense of place. Check it out if you dare and never let it be said that an old man can't rock. :-)

I was egoistic and Googled my own name just to see what was out there in cyberspace. It's interesting what you can find. One of the things I found was that someone had used one of my pictures that was uploaded (by me) a long time (7 years) ago to a site called "Nuages.com", which displays only clouds It was used (with proper identification of owner) to illustrate a poem, in French. Since it's about 45 years since I had my last French lesson, I unfortunately can't understand the poem, but I know that some of my flickr friends can, and if someone could give me a hint what it's about, I would really appreciate it. Here is the poem
LE VENT NOUS EMPORTERA
Dans ma nuit, si brève, hélas
Le vent a rendez-vous avec les feuilles.
Ma nuit si brève est remplie de l'angoisse dévastatrice
Ecoute! Entends-tu le souffle des ténèbres?
De ce bonheur, je me sens étranger.
Au désespoir je suis accoutumée.
Ecoute! Entends-tu le souffle des ténèbres?
Là, dans la nuit, quelque chose se passe
La lune est rouge et angoissée.
Et accrochés à ce toit
Qui risque de s'effondrer à tout moment,
Les nuages, comme une foule de pleureuses,
Attendent l'accouchement de la pluie,
Un instant, et puis rien.
Derrière cette fenêtre,
C'est la nuit qui tremble
Et c'est la terre qui s'arrête de tourner.
Derrière cette fenêtre, un inconnu s'inquiète
pour moi et toi.
Toi, toute verdoyante,
Pose tes mains - ces souvenirs ardents -
Sur mes mains amoureuses
Et confie tes lèvres, repues de la chaleur de la vie,
Aux caresses de mes lèvres amoureuses
Le vent nous emportera!
Le vent nous emportera!
Forough Farrokhzad,
Poème extrait du film Le Vent nous emportera,
d'Abbas Kiarostami

Thank you Laurance!
THE WIND WILL CARRY US
In my night, so sadly short,
The wind has a date with the leaves.
My night, so short, is filled with destructive anxiety
Listen! Do you hear the breath of blackness?
To this happiness, I feel foreign.
To despair I am accustomed.
Listen! Do you hear the breath of blackness?
There, in the night, something is happening
The moon is red and anxious.
And hung on this roof
Which risks collapsing any time,
Clouds, as a crowd of grumblers,
Wait for the delivery of the rain,
An instant, and then nothing.
Behind this window,
It is the night that trembles
And it is the earth which stops to turn.
Behind this window, the unknown gets worried
for me and you.
You, very green,
Put down your hands - these burning memories-
On my loving hands
And entrust your lips, fed on the warmth of life,
In the caresses of my loving lips
The wind will take us!
The wind will take us!
Technical note; This a picture taken very early with my first digital camera, a Leica (made by Fuji). The resolution was not very good, but it was fun to try something digital.
The original was saved on a Zip 100 disc, which has since deteriorated and is now unreadable. A lesson learned that our digital media will not last as long as my grandparent's b/w photos.

It was hard to resist taking several pictures of this young woman: she seemed so clean-cut, attractive, and well dressed as she stood in the square while chatting on her cell phone.
She then marched back and forth several paces, then went into the entrance to the 72nd Street subway station, came back out again, marched around, continued chattering on her cell phone, and occasionally glanced at me with a puzzled look as I snapped several pictures. A good ten minutes went by until she finally disappeared for good into the subway station, still chattering away on her cell phone...

**********************
This is part of an evolving photo-project, which will probably continue throughout the summer of 2008, and perhaps beyond: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
For the most part, I've deliberately avoided photographing bums, drunks, drunks, and crazy people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.
Remember my popular image underneath the pier??
Well, this is what I took later on. I was a little farther back, which is really too bad because you can't see as well the way that the water is misty and earily flat.
The only light here is the sodium vapor lights and the moon. The colors are exactly the colors that appeared on the slide. I like the crisscorssing partial-shadows on the ground, the yellow-and-black of the sand, and everything.
This is on Velvia 100. Pinhole told me that Velvia is a horible long-exposure slide film. The thing is, I've discovered that I like daylight balancing at night, where the sodium vapor shows its true golden nature. Velvia 100 has incredibly good reciprocity behaviour, more or less the same as Provia 100F. I have a number of night shots taken on it and I really like how they look. The fact that exposure must be right on with Velvia 100 doesn't really bother me much, because metering exposure on the a95 is about as strict.
Which is really not to say that Pinhole is wrong, more that after gathering an understanding of the situation, the properties of film, and why everybody says that Velvia is awful for night, I find that, at least for me, I can safely ignore the advice.
I basicly metered this by taking a ISO 400 exposure on the a95 and extrapolated from there. It's about 9 or 10 minutes at somewhere between f/5.6 and f/8... I wasn't keeping too good of records on this roll. As all of my slide shots, pretty much, were shot, this was done on my old mechanical film SLR and a 50mm lens.
The nice thing is that I can blow this one up much bigger than a picture taken on the a95. I printed out a 16x20 and it's absolutely stunning.
Oh yes, and because it takes so long for each exposure, I only took one shot from this angle -- no bracketing!
Ramadan holy month of piety
And she sits and begs
The poor beggar Muslim Woman
Carrying her pain
Within the ocean of her womanhood
Blood sweat and tears
Voluminous waters of her hijab
Besides her sits her little girl
Who will perhaps beg like her
Another hijab of pain
Yes Muslims
do not wish to be reminded
black spots on the firmament
of Islamic society
on hard rock hearts
while the Mullahs men
move from house to house
with a receipt book in hand
another Mosque
to be built at Ayodhya
another in Faizabad
Madarsas to be built in Azamgarh
Yes they beg too with Islamic fortitude
While at the corner of a Allahs Door
A Muslim Poor Woman Begs
From one Ramadan to the other Ramadan
Fasting from the day she was born
To the day she will die..
The Mujhaidas were plumb lucky
Living and breathing among prayer beads
On cyberspace
Allah ho Akbar endangered specie
The Poor Muslim Woman
A palpitating heart
a dying soul in the Hijab
Says the Muslim Man
Let her be ..
A Muslim Woman
To her Crying Destiny
this poem does not denigrate the hijab but the life that lies unprotected as woman within the hijab no upliftment of her
deteriorating condition..
He was overcome by panic, fear almost gave him wings, he ran for his life with only one goal: to leave Goatswood as quickly as possible, to leave the horror behind him. He didn't know that he was in vain, he didn't know that something had already taken possession of him and would awaken a new desire in him, a new desire that was unknown to him until now, a new desire that he would never be able to fully satisfy. A lust and a power, a desire and for humanity a horror. He did not know that he had become an immortal nightmare.
Unbeknownst to himself, he had taken something from Goatwood, a relic that would accompany him for the rest of his immortal life, he held it in his hand without realising what significance it would have for the rest of all time.
He became The immortal nightmare of Whitechapel
The End?
Taken at Goatwood

Thanks to Dr BU Pai I start a new series at Flickr.com a series ,very close to my heart the GSB Ganpati King Circle 2009..I have been continuously shooting it since a few years now.
GSB means Gaud Sarawswat Brahmin..one of the finest peace loving community settled in Mumbai from the South, their humility , their love for Lord Ganesha touches every one including this barefeet Muslim blogger from Mumbai..
The GSB community , everyone men women and children leave no stone unturned to make this event a great spiritual success...everybody is doing some community service, as volunteers , feeding the crowds , keeping vigilance in such trying times ,the men dressed in lungis bare bodied move about serving the devotees of Lord Ganesha.. The King of King of King Circle..
I copy lines from their old brochure ...
"Dear Fellow devotee,
It is with great pleasure we inform you about the 55 th Shree Gaaneshotsav Celeberations of our GSB Seva Mandal which will be celebrated at Sri Sukriteendra Nagar , A Rama Nayak Halll grounds behind SNDT Womens college R A Kidwai marg Kings Circle Mumbai 19. from 23 th Aug,2009 till 27 th Aug 2009.
We also have the proud privilege to state that the Shree Ganeshotsav is celebrated by us with unique spiritual and religious focus to insure that all the offerings made to Lord Ganesha reach him in the purity of thoughts and action.
The five days celebration of Seva Mandal is one where all volunteers whole heartedly work day and night right from collection of donations to service towards the Lordand also his devotees thronging the Pandal to pay obeisance to the Lord.The Shrama Daan of our volunteers is truly worth watching at the venue.
The Lords idol stands majestically at height of 17 feet studded with gold ornaments and a beautiful gold crown.When the celebrations were first initiated by Seva Mandal , the Lords idol was 14 inches, .
It exemplifies the stature and glory of our Lord who is also known to fulfil wishes of his ardent devotees. Seva Mandal feels itself fortunate to be blessed by our Dharma Guru His HolinessSudhindra Titha Swamiji , The Mathadipati of Shri Kashi Math Samasthan without which these celebrations could not have scaled to such great heights…
May Lord Ganesha inspire and bless us all."
As Dr BU Pai was at work, he called me this morning to shoot the Lord and a unique ritual called Tolabar where a person is weighed on a scale and his weight equivalent to his offerings , coconuts ladoos, prasadam is presented to Lord Ganesha.
Photography is strictly prohibited , but thanks to the community and the GSB management I am allowed to shoot the Lord that he touches all of you on cyberspace, and these are over 800 pictures shot in a few hours.
Mr Dinesh Pai , Mr Dilip Pai the head honchos, and other volunteers helped me , and were hospitable in all aspects , today was my third fast of Ramzan, and nothing could tire me when it comes to sharing the bounty of Lord Ganesha not just as a religiosity but as my cultural inheritance.. thus continues my mission of Hope and Hindutva as a message of Peace.
As you are aware I shot Lal Bagh Cha Raja on the day of my first fast Aug 23 2009..and his first day in royal court at Lalbagh..
I completed uploading all this at Flickr today.
A incident took place this morning at the GSB Ganesha Pandal which made me cry , I need to share it with all of you, while I was shooting the Lord a youth came to me and thanked me I had never met him before ,so I was quite surprised , he explained to me that due to unavoidable reasons he could not partake in the celebrations of his favorite Lard , last year .
Than he found my GSB pictures on Flickr.com , and attained his spiritual happiness and made his darshan too, , on hearing this I began to cry..
Photography is an instrument of Peace and as a Photo Blog it becomes a means to holistically heal the human soul..
I dedicate this to Hari Shenoy from Bhandup the youth whose eyes went moist seeing me cry, , he gave me a reason to heal myself too..and what is a Hindu or a Muslim ,if he is not touched by the love of humanity..We believe in God so we can believe in ourselves , I too gain a spiritual high as I shoot spirituality where a divinity comes in the form of clay to remind us of our own mortality , he touches and binds us all and than goes away to return again the following year..
Ganesha festival is about our nationality - making us good Indians irrespective of our caste color or creed .
Thank You Lord..
Om Parvati Putaaye, Hara Hara Hara Mahadev

Thank you Dr BU Pai

just wanted to lend a helping hand to the good people fighting corporatofascism with the most disturbing visual i could conjure, figuring that would ultimately, ineluctably help its velocity through time and cyberspace. of course, in the aftermath of the digg insurrection, there are far, far better steganoimages, steganovideos, steganopoetry and on and on.
