The Downgrade of Free
Flickr’s free accounts will now be limited to storing a combined total of 1,000 photos and videos. Photos aren’t limited by resolution and are stored in their original quality.
Prior to this change, Flickr users on the free plan were given 1 terabyte, or 1,000 gigabytes, of free storage space at full resolution. Since 1 terabyte can hold 20,000 files weighing 50MB each (which is way more than most photos), this new limit of 1,000 files is clearly a downgrade for photo-happy Flickr photographers.
“Unfortunately, ‘free’ services are seldom actually free for users,” SmugMug says. “Users pay with their data or with their time. We would rather the arrangement be transparent.”
From now on I'll be posting about people on flickr you just can't miss and must MUST visit their photostreams. These are people who inspire me and basically leave me spellbound with their work. I'll be doing this every now and then focusing on one person at a time.
The eighteenth person I am posting about is the one of a kind photographer, Lara Jade Coton. I seriously run out of words to describe her work because it's just gorgeous in every aspect of the word. Her talent is without limits. I mean, just look at those images! They leave me speechless. I dont know what more I could say but this, you must MUST visit her photostream! :D

Seriously? Yes, this really is a road near Dallas, TX. Of course I may or may not have removed an "e"
Finally attempted to do a decent flickr cover shot, after looking online and playing around for a while this seems to be the best way.... ( so the image looks OK on a PC/Mac, Tablets and phones of mobility).
The image is 2560x2560... so that I could have 5 thumbnails (512px width), the height is guess work and I'm still playing around with. The reason why a big square box is simply to try to force Flickr to display the image in a more controlled way, as a typical shot gets cropped and resized in different ways across different formats.

flickrs 3peaker, taken at a liverpool flickr meet yesterday,not only is he a top photographer he is a top fella too.(thanks for letting me test your lens out mate).
occhio alla composizione spiovente dovuta a scarsa impostazione della fotocamera sul cavalletto... ehhhh ne ho ancora tanta di strada da fare.... hai voglia a spendere soldi se poi non riesco manco a far le foto dritte... mi sto dando scudisciate...
Thanks to all my Flickr Friends for your visits, comments, friendships and support! You're the best!
The job search is going pretty well, my husband has an interview tomorrow. It's looking like several more companies are interested, so more interviews will be scheduled soon. As for my own job search...it's going. I actually applied for a photographer job, taking pics of kids at preschools...we'll see how that goes!
Have a great day!

It's short, but oh well.
Anyways, I as tagged again by the great Holly Collings!
1. I haven't washed my hair in about a week; i know it has to be summer.
2. I got my first sunburn yesterday! It's painful, but everyone has to get their first 2010 sunburn eventually.
3. I'm planning to go barefoot all summer.
4. I start Drivers d. tomorrow morning at 9am-12am. I'm not too thrilled to wake up at 8:30am though..
5. I have two marks that people know me for which are: my freckle on my lower lip that gets larger in size in the summer, and my mole on my upper right thigh. I like my marks a lot.
6. Somedays I wish that clothes were not an option. Not that I'd like to see everyone naked, because trust me I don't. But i wish we could just wear Avatar clothing all the time, and no shoes. I think that's a better choice sometimes.
7. I feel like everyone should atleast try to keep a hott body. No one likes a lazy blob who has 90% body-fat, and no muscle. Atleast that's my preference.
8. I like interesting, nice, good-looking boys. I have a crush on one, but he already has a girlfriend, and I don't know why he had to pick her. She's not that great!
9. I kinda quit on art and reading... i guess i should get back to that.
10. Today i went to a Keys Baseball game. I was walking out to my dad's car to get my camera (which I then found out that i left at home!) and the other baseball team was getting off their bus. Every one of them checked me out (that's what my friend told me atleast). Hah, that boosted up my self-esteem.
From now on I'll be posting about people on flickr you just can't miss and must MUST visit their photostreams. These are people who inspire me and basically leave me spellbound with their work. I'll be doing this every now and then focusing on one person at a time.
The fifteenth person I am posting about is the exceptional photographer, Jingna Zhang. I think her model photography is among one of the best here on Flickr or anywhere else. Her work is flawless and elegant. I truly admire her ability to capture beauty and present it to us in a way that leaves me speechless. I dont know what more I could say but this, you must MUST visit her photostream! :D

Parque do Ibirapuera - São Paulo SP - Brasil.
O Obelisco aos Heróis de 32, também conhecido como Obelisco do Ibirapuera ou Obelisco de São Paulo, é um monumento funerário brasileiro localizado no Parque do Ibirapuera, no bairro homônimo, em São Paulo.
Símbolo da Revolução Constitucionalista de 1932, o obelisco é o maior monumento da cidade e tem 72 metros de altura. A construção do monumento foi iniciada em 1947 e e concluída em 1970. A execução da obra foi confiada ao engenheiro alemão radicado no Brasil, Ulrich Edler. Tombado pelos conselhos estadual e municipal de preservação de patrimônio histórico, o mausoléu do Obelisco guarda os corpos dos estudantes Martins, Miragaia, Dráusio e Camargo (o M.M.D.C.) - mortos durante a Revolução de 1932 -, e de outros 713 ex-combatentes. O Obelisco é um projeto do escultor ítalo-brasileiro Galileo Ugo Emendabili, que chegou ao Brasil em 1923, quando tinha 34 anos de idade, pois estava fugindo de um regime fascista em seu país. O obelisco, feito em puro mármore travertino, foi inaugurado em 9 de julho de 1955, um ano após a inauguração do Parque do Ibirapuera. (Wikipédia).

YAY. Today is my first anniversary on Flickr.
Little did I know HOW much my life would change within this one year. Soooo many things happened during this year.
Went to the beautiful city of Paris, photographed my first paid job, split up with my girlfriend (the first I ever lived together with), appeared on the Explore Frontpage, got two job offers of which I accepted the one in Tirol, had my first Flickr romance, moved to Austria, Tirol (for sure one of the most beautiful countries in the world - at least according to my taste), got a mail from Getty Images (with some chance I will start selling some of my images in march)
and most importantly: I MADE FANTASTIC NEW FRIENDS THROUGH FLICKR!!!
YOU are the best! I thank you so much for all your lovely messages, comments and encouragement!
So before I get all sentimental I'll stop writing...
Once again: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
This is a lego wall. The children can put up the lego letters in any way they want. Notice the FLICKR letters? Coincidence??

This year felt like all work and no play for me, but at least the dream of having my own doll line has finally come through so at least I'm slaving away doing what I love! :)
I was rather surprised at this years statistics. Most faved pic was a sneak peek of the accessory pack shoes and most viewed a pic request snap shot of Inro wearing the Dust colour variation of Vertebrata gown. Didn't see those coming. Most comments came from people congratulating me on Mirrorball OOAK winning the DOLLS Industry's Choice Award - thank you for all who voted for my doll in the public's choice round! My personal face is the blowing-a-kiss-pose of Cherub. I love it as a picture and also love the doll so much I kept one for myself. It's so seldom I get to keep anything I make she is really special to me. :)
Thank you so much for the passing year. I really look forward to what the next year brings!
En estos momentos de fiebre mundialista un humilde tributo a nuestro querido portal de flickr.
In these moments of World Cup fever a humble tribute to our dear flickr portal.
So! Imagine had this idea to build Rapture from Bioshock. At a CoWLUG meeting he showed me the part he had built (not shown), and I offered to help get it done in time for Brickworld.
After playing Bioshock (for the first time) for a few minutes to get a feel for the city, I worked on the ocean floor [while he worked on the ocean ceiling]. That's pretty much everything you see here, obviously. So, when you see Rapture at Brickworld, I did the sand! :D
Big daddy/little sister are Imagine's, though. Sorry they're not in focus. :(
No more changes... just stop it right now... it's not cute or funny anymore... leave us alone to enjoy what we loyal (not to mention paying) flickr users have built over the years.. a community...
