I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.

Testing out the Canon 5D in daily situations. This was taken on a lot next to my daughter's school - the far background is around the Las Vegas strip. Lots of construction going on notwithstanding the bad economy.

Tucked into the mountains of Iwate Prefecture near the under visited, stunning Sanriku Coast in eastern Japan is the Iwate Development Railway.
Established in 1939, the railway operated passenger and limestone transport from its mine in Iwate Ishibashi, to the cement plant at the port city of Ofunato for a total of 11km in length. The line suffered severe damage during the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. In fact, photos of debris covering the top of this bridge can be found online. The railway was brought back just 8 months after the quake and has been going strong since.
Two trains, pulled by DD56 Centercabs, shuttle 18 car limestone trains back and forth from the mine to the cement plant around 12-18 times a day. Here a midday empty train crosses over the Sakari River bridge bound for the mine for another load of rocks.

A new Pelargonium blossom emerges from its green cocoon to join the world of nature.
Only the second cluster I have had the pleasure of enjoying during their rather brief period of perfection.
To all who have kindly faved and commented on this image, thanks come from my heart.

more than 30 years ago a trip to the province meant stepping back in time . provincial life was a laid back rural community. people in those days will take a stroll in the park just before dusk and would normally be home before it gets too dark. so for the city dweller a quick break in the province is a welcome relief from the busy , chaotic city life. fast forward 30 years later, 2019, this is how most popular provinces look now, new malls, more establishments and other modern conveniences, a replica of a major city in a smaller scale.

This is what they look like in mid development stage.

About some things, I feel so lucky to be a testimony.

Finally, many Brazilian Indigenous People from different groups
are discovering the photography and having access to cameras.
Finally they will be able to be the
protagonists of their own history.
Here a Wapishana men shows their own picture to a Kuikuru man.
We just need care that economic and social development can't be obtained at any price, specially the fragile Amazon.

Dung-loving Bird's-nest mushrooms (most likely Cyathus stercoreus) - Merritt Island, Florida
Captured with Canon's 180 mm macro lens and a complete 68 mm set of Kenco X-tubes (12+20+36 = 68), 'cause these guys are tiny!
FYI - Both images are manual stacks where I focused on all the important parts/information, and then cloned over the OOF areas in the first capture with in-focus areas of the other captures. I like this technique because it gives me complete control over what's in and what's out of focus. And in this case I decided to leave the wood untouched (i.e. OOF) while "focusing in" on the mushrooms.
