This bright green shrimp lives inside a large Didemnum molle tunicate. I can't find it any of the critter ID books I own, so maybe someone out there can help me get an ID. We did a night dive in Alor, and many of the Didemnum molle tunicates contained critters living inside of them (I saw 2 different shrimps and an amphipod). All of the critters fled from lights, and getting this picture took over half an hour of careful planning and execution. Photo by Eric Cheng, taken with Canon 7D, 100mm macro lens, Nauticam underwater housing, Light & Motion Sola 600 focus light, 2 x Ikelite DS-125 strobes.
Update: this shrimp has been identified as a Periclimenaeus storchi. It isn't a true snapping shrimp. Source: wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=43993

One of my New York City photos displayed at the event.
When I travel, I have staples that I take with me on long-haul flights and one of those staples is Wired Magazine. Always. So, when I was asked by Sony a few months back if I would want my New York photography book to be a part of a Wired Magazine pop-up store private event along with a gallery display of my photography, it was hard to contain my excitement.
In terms of things I never thought I would do six years ago when I started taking photos seriously, signing copies of my books at Wired's offices ranks up there as something I wouldn't have even believed I would be doing back then.
The Design Your World event took place at Wired's NYC pop-up store in the meatpacking district on December 16th. The event was open to private guests of Wired Magazine and each of the 250 guests received a copy of my book: NY Through The Lens. There was also a gallery sponsored by Sony featuring 10 large screens displaying my black and white photos (all of which are in the book, of course).
Despite the majority of the books having been pre-signed by me, I think I ended up personally signing around 200 books at the event itself! It was so nice to connect with so many people. Seeing their reaction to the book and to the gallery of my photography is something I will never ever forget. What a beautiful experience.
To all of the wonderful people who I spoke to, hugged, took photos with, bonded with, opined about New York city in the snow with, and whose books I personally signed on the spot - you made my year. Thank you.
Thank you to Sony and Wired for this incredible opportunity.
And most of all, thank you to absolutely everyone online and offline who has been so wildly supportive and encouraging when it comes to the book and to my photography. It's been quite a journey so far and I sincerely enjoy taking you with me every step of the way.

We continue our series of interview, this time with Joan Stricker from the blog Scavenger Chic, she is also one of our best contributors on 1001Pallets and she's making very original creations out of repurposed wooden pallets. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Joan Stricker and I live in Maryland. Happily married to my husband of 31 years. I'm the mother of three boys, 2 of whom are married and the third in high school. Twice a week you can find me blogging at Scavenger Chic with any kind of project that happens to catch my eye.
Why do you craft?
I don't remember a time when I didn't craft. I watched my mom as a kid do her projects, sewing, quilting, gardening... she could do it all. My dad started his own business, but he loved woodworking. When he wanted a ping pong table, he built one, when he wanted a chair to match one he had bought, he built one. With this influence, it just seemed like the thing to do, and I get so much pleasure out of it. I guess it's in my blood!!
When I first began to make my own home, my mom and I went to auctions and thrift stores and refinished and reupholstered to fill my home with furniture at a fraction of the price you could buy new furniture. If anyone had thought about using pallets then, I'm sure my home would be filled with pallet furniture. I wish I had known then that chippy painted furniture was going to come into style, it would have saved me a lot of paint stripping.
How did you learn?
Like I said, my parents were both huge do it yourselfers. I remember as a teenager, if I needed to saw a piece of wood, I would just go downstairs and fire up the table saw. I can proudly say, I still have all my fingers. Aside from that, I also minored in art in college. Working with a lot of mediums led me to believe there was nothing I couldn't try. One of my classes even used the arc welder, though I haven't used it since, that would be fantastic to combine iron with pallets...
Since when are you working with pallets?
I've been working with pallets since 2012, when I finished my first pallet wall. I haven't shared that one with 1001 pallets yet, you'll just have to wait. To date, I've probably used over 100 pallets that were destined for the trash.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
In terms of electric tools, I absolutely have to have a drill, palm sander and circular saw. But don't try to take away my miter saw. nail gun or jigsaw or someone might get hurt.
How would you describe your style? Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I would have to describe my style as rustic or shabby chic. That is why pallets are perfect for me, they already have built in character. If you need perfect wood, then pallets are not for you. I love other crafters that are into upcycling and recycling, such as Donna at Funky Junk Interiors or Becky at Beyond the Picket Fence and Angie at Knick of Time. I'm sure there are hundreds more, but these ladies are always using something old, that's rusty and crusty and making it into something new and unique.
How is your workspace, how do you make it inspiring?
I have a great workshop in the corner of my basement which I don't mind getting dirty. In January I gave my workshop a makeover, cleaning, organizing, and painting. You can see a bit of it here. It doesn't have a window though, so if I'm going to be painting or need extra light, I'll bring the project up into the kitchen. What is nice about having a dedicated work space is that I can usually shut the door to prevent the rest of the house from gathering a layer of dust.
What sorts of things are inspiring you right now? Where do you look for inspiration?
Right now I've been on a "vintage" sign kick. Pallet wood is the perfect backdrop to get that vintage feel without using actual old wood. I just completed a telephone sign painted on pallet wood last week.
While Pinterest is a great place to be inspired, I'll usually be inspired by an object...what can I make out of this? That was the case with the pallet wood and bedsprings light...it all started with the bedsprings. Or I'll be inspired by a specific need, such as when my daughter-in-law asked me to make centerpieces for her wedding or the rolling storage bin...I had a whole lot of bits and pieces and nowhere to put them.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
Besides being able to say, I built that. There are so many reasons to be a do it yourself-er. It can save a ton of money, especially if you're using free pallet wood. The pallet wood bench, free, the valentine's heart, free, the sign post, free. Things made by hand can also be personalized and they are usually made better than their store bought counterparts.
What is your favorite medium to work in?
Pallet wood has got to be my favorite but I love finding old rusty iron pieces and recreating them into something useful.
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Start small and get comfortable with one tool at a time. Don't be scared of tools, they are there to make your life easier. Start with what you feel comfortable with. If you enjoy painting, pick up a paintbrush, if you enjoy sewing start there...but incorporate something new into your project that's a stretch.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Other than chocolate, can I say my nail gun. The reason that it is my guilty pleasure is that it is not really mine, I gave it to my husband for his birthday one year. Nobody gets more pleasure out of using it than me.
What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)?
I love a nice hike in the woods, I love genealogy, gardening, travel and spending time with my family.
What do you recommend that most people do in terms of cleaning pallets and prepping them to become something else?
I always tear my pallets apart so I have a pile of pallet wood waiting for my next project. I've found the easiest way to do this, for me anyway, is to take a circular saw down alongside both side rails on both sides of the pallet. Immediately you've reduced the number of nails by two thirds. If the pallet comes apart easily, then I'll just take a crowbar and hammer to it. If it puts up a good fight, like most pallets, then the reciprocating saw comes out to chop off the remaining nails.
To finish, we've seen that you have an active blog. Since how many times are you blogging? Is that a full time job or just a hobby to share your personal creations?
I do have an active blog with only about a quarter of my projects using pallet wood or other reclaimed wood. I wouldn't mind my blog becoming a full time job but since it doesn't produce much income, we'll just call it a hobby right now. I love to inspire other people with easy to follow tutorials, because if I can do it, I'm sure you can too.

Every day my email box is filled with "fishy" emails. Every day I receive fishy emails like the following:.. Enlarge certain parts of your anatomy....Big hot mama wants to meet you....Cleanse your colon......Long lost relative in Libya has left you 20 million dollars,just send bank account number for transfer...etc. etc.
Now, wanting to be a good citizen I decided to send all of my "fishy" emails to: flag@whitehouse.gov.....now I am not here suggesting that you do this :) ......but gosh it felt good when I clicked on send all......Now, I did not send emails from cousin Jody or Aunt Bertha, who is very worried about her health care if they pass Socialized Medicine. No, those are private and none of Obama's business.
NOTE: This type of program is not with out precedent, Cuba has had an organized Citizens Gestapo in place for decades. I have heard that Castro gives them xtra vouchers for food if the they rat off some one of importance.
While deleting a few very old emails, I came across this link that I had saved from 2010 - Rick Mercer and Bird Banding. Not sure if I ever posted it to Flickr. For anyone familiar with Rick Mercer, you know there will be a few laughs, as well as interesting information.

I happened to come across this old Facebook video from 2018 on my computer. I don't think I ever posted it here on Flickr. I can only see how to post the link, not so that the actual video is seen without clicking on the link. I just thought it was nicely done by Facebook.

On 2 December 2025, I finally got out for a drive, the first one since 28 September 2025. The weather was awful - cold (but not bitterly cold), completely overcast, low visibility, and snowing a lot of the time, thankfully fairly light, but rather ice pellets than big, white snowflakes. Definitely not the best for taking photos. However, my daughter and I had planned an outing, as she had a free day, a very early Christmas get-together. Each year, we celebrate Christmas by going out for the day, looking for birds and wildlife and anything else. Hopefully, she will have another free day between now and the end of December, to go and have a longer look for Snowy Owls.
We started the day by driving south and calling in at the Saskatoon Farm, where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, served by a delightful young lady. Lovely to have a chat with Karen, the main owner of the Farm, and her adult children. Thank you for the cookies, Karen! This family works so hard, as do all the workers at the Farm, both inside and outdoors, year-round, apart from a well-deserved break for a few weeks either side of Christmas. We saw decorations to be photographed, and we loved the huge gnome that had been cleverly constructed mainly from twigs. There are quite a lot of much smaller versions (for sale), but I don't remember ever seeing a giant one like this before.
Took me a while to post any photos from this outing, after I had figured out how to use the tiny SD card reader that I had to buy for my new computer. I guess newer computers no longer come with a CD/DVD slot or a slot for an SD card.
From the Farm, we drove southwards, really to see what the roads were like. The main roads were safe to drive, though there were lots of huge trucks/trailers that splashed all the slush over my car. I resisted the temptation to drive more than one back road this time. Happy to see a couple of Ring-necked Pheasants, though they immediately disappeared into the bushes. Managed a rapid shot in their direction but couldn't actually see them. When I got home, and checked through my photos, I was very surprised to see the back half of one of these birds (male). A distant deer in a snowy field of stubble was nice to see, too. At another location, my daughter spotted a flock of Gray Partridge. They ran across the road ahead of us and into a farmers open yard, giving us a chance to get a couple of distant shots.
An enjoyable few hours, despite the weather. A day out with my daughter is always my favourite kind of day. Thanks, Rachel!

While bumbling through the desert in Southern Utah, I noticed a few of these little cactus clusters sprinkled all over the desert landscape. This one, like so many others, really looked like a nasty little thing to fall into!

I was on my way to a business meeting in mid-town Manhattan this afternoon, and my journey took me through Grand Central terminal, out onto 42nd Street, and then south onto Park Avenue.
My meeting was in a high-rise office building on Park Avenue and 40th Street, in front of which is a huge open plaza. It was empty except for one very intense man, standing alone as he scrolled through the email message(s) on his cellphone...
I thought it was an interesting photo, and I gave it three stars in my Aperture rating system. But not five stars, so it never did get uploaded as a "public" Flickr photo.
Note: within moments after uploading this photo, one of my Flickr friends had "faved" it; consequently, I have changed its status to "public."
Note: this photo was published in an Oct 1, 2014 blog titled "Sorting out the pros and cons of “bring your own” mobile device policies."
**********************
Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.
After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real” phone in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.
But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.
Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.
And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.
With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.
Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...
I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.
Stay tuned….
