What mistake most people do while doing "Social Media". They are only twitting about their Blogs (: Now get a T-Shirt printed of this...
I originally uploaded this photo as private so i could post it in some forums to ask about a filter question....most people didn't know the answer why the sky turned out like that but they said they liked the picture the way it was so I decided to open it to public opinion :) anyway, this shot is pretty much straight out of the camera

I made a very crucial mistake today while I was doing a shoot of this beautiful family! Luckily I was at the end of the shot, and I had my equipment all set up for this shot, I was on a slight hill. I had my camera, my new Gary Fong, and external flash all nicely set up, had adjusted the legs on the tripod to compensate the hill and then walked away to adjust something on one of them. The whole thing fell!!! I broke the Gary Fong, however it does still work ok. I also broke my wide angle lens!! But camera and external flash are luckily all good!
So the moral is, don't walk away from tripod unless you are sure it is going to fall!
a l'impromptu...more like a mistake! cos brian was getting the camera ready, and it still took a photo of all of us, each doing our thing.
When I realized that I had made a mistake and had to take the vest apart my first thought was "well at least I'll get some sympathy on flickr" - I knew my sewing flickr friends would get it!
Each year I tell the kids in the class that there are three written rules and one unwritten rule for gingerbread house decorating.
The unwritten rule is that there are no mistakes in gingerbread. Sometimes kids at this age become anxious when they put a piece of candy in what they deem (or, more usually, the kid sitting next to them labels) as the "wrong" place. I tell them to relax and make the house they way they want. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
At the 2008 event, I overheard a mother and her daughter talking. "Oh, are you going to cover up all those pretty hearts?" the mother asked. She was referring to the roof of her daughter's house, which I had textured before baking using heart-shaped aspic cutters. I leaned over and said to the little girl, "It's your house. If you want to cover up those hearts, you go right ahead and do it." This the girl promptly did.
There are no mistakes in gingerbread.

Leaving work from Boca Raton on the Turnpike overpass I composed a shot of an apocalyptic sky, but somehow mistakenly double exposed it with a forest scene I shot earlier. The best art is often mistakes, and I'll just keep telling myself that.

After fretting through the night about my mistake in glaze formulation, I awoke to a happy accident. Now I must record the formulation so I can replicate it! Whoot
And if I stumble
And if I stall
And if I slit now
And if I should fall
And if I cant be all that I could be
Will you wait for me?
Probably not worth the hours of hot and pain that preceded it. Guidebooks and other people will tell you that if you get the chance, you must go to a matsuri in Japan. I'd probably back them up, but don't expect to see a lot if you find one in one of the main population areas. You will be crammed onto trains. You will really have to get to know other people. If you want to take a photo, realise that someone will be there first, with a backpack that knocks your tripod. And, expect old woman with very sharp elbows.
