November 22, 2006. Photography is my current one thing that's just for me, my time, my creative outlet. I may not be the greatest photographer in the world, but I absolutely love what I do... find pictures and take them!

This was the last sight I saw as R2D2 ran over me while driving Luke's X-34 Landspeeder. I can't believe with five million miles of desert and he couldn't go around me.

I love still life and I find it interesting and challenging.

 

To make a mark and record for my statistics, it comes to 15.3 million views this morning on 30 August 2015. Thank you to all your visits, views and comments.

 

Wish you a great Sunday!

 

This is repost of tomatoes still life in my kitchen.

 

The following is the original story going with the previous post.

 

*******************************************************************************

 

Isn't internet amazing?

 

In September 2013, there are two millions views on my Flickr stream. In July 2014, there are 6.4 millions.

 

Numbers does not give real meaning to anything. However it is still interesting to see these changes.

 

This is the repost of my picture taken in September 2013.

 

Have a great Friday!

 

Yesterday (30 September 2013) my Flickr stream hit the mark of two millions views. Right at this moment when I write this description, the views count comes to 2,008,051.

 

It took me 39 months (more than 3 years) to reach the one million view count in October 2012. It only takes me 11 months more to hit the two millions view count. But I am not excited.

 

On my third anniversary on Flickr (July 2012), my daily view count was about 1,200 and a picture had about 600-900 views in the first 24 hours. Now my daily view count is 12,000 to 15,000 views and a picture will have 1,200-1,500 views in 24 hours.

 

The increase is not coming from my improved photography but more a result of change on Flickr. I have noticed the trend on Flickr lately.

 

A picture on Explore nowadays can warrant 18,000 - 22,000 views in the first 24 hours. Last year the same Explored picture has only 3,000 - 5,000 views in 24 hours. Compared to a non-Explore picture like mine, the difference or gap is 10.800 views (or 90%) while the gap in the past was only 2,400 (or 80%).

 

The expansion in viewing platform to mobile devices has increased the view count but also widens the gap between the popular (or selected) few and the majority. Also the comments has dropped and this reflects less interaction in the community.

 

This is like a developed economy has a bigger gap between the poor and the rich when the economy grows quickly.

 

Internet is not a democratic place and the resources are more and more commanded by a few elites. These selected few again command more resources outside the internet e.g. getting published, showing in galleries and other platforms.

 

We are not small potatoes. I am too old to join a revolution but we can get ready some tomatoes for protest. :o)

 

We have had wind storm in the weekend. It was pouring in the last few days and my still life season comes again. This is the tomatoes in my kitchen. Oh I forgot to mention I have eaten them yesterday! :o)

 

Happy Tuesday!

Macro Mondays, theme - 'less is more'.

Take a bow, the night is over

This masquerade is getting older

Lights are low, the curtains down

There's no one here

Say your lines but do you feel them

Do you mean what you say when there's no one around

Watching you, watching me, one lonely star

I'm experimenting with negative treatments for this subject. It feels appropriate to me.

Test Pattern is a system that converts any type of data (text, sounds, photos and movies) into barcode patterns and binary patterns of 0s and 1s. Through its application, this project aims to examine the relationship between critical points of device performance and the threshold of human perception. From large-scale installations to live performances, the Test Pattern project has been derived from many different types of application since 2008, including a Compact Disc version and the more notable series of site-specific installations. This is the first publication related to the project.

My daughter Ashley has the most beautiful long golden blonde hair. It just shimmers in the sunlight. :) I got the idea to photograph this earlier this morning while I was braiding her bangs. I think this image works well for the Macro Mondays theme "Less is more" and can fit in with the minimalism aspect of the weeks theme. HMM everyone!

Asahikawa, Hokkaido 2025. I was really looking forward to shooting trees in the winter in Hokkaido recently and the landscape has so much to offer. Huge thanks to Rohan Reilly for leading a wonderful tour of the northern Japanese island - his knowledge of the areas and well organised tours make visiting for photography such a pleasure and always a memorable experience.
