I would let you peek into my soul just for a moment. But how long that moment would be will always be decided based on which window you chose to look through.

Churn like a cog
We are caged in simulations
Algorithms evolve
Push us aside and render us obsolete

(In January 2022 I asked for help and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and in the moment.)

Les algorithmes sont-ils responsables de la solitude grandissante qui rampe dans nos villes et nos campagnes ?
Tout dépend de ce qu'on entend par "algorithmes", bien sûr.
En tout cas, tandis que l'informatisation agressive des services publics élargit la fracture sociale qui sépare les plus pauvres de ceux qui ne sont pas suspects par défaut de manque de mérite, la solitude, elle, se voit, s'entend, se ressent, se vit... Au milieu des motifs pavés.
An algorithm concludes that this is an Eastern Gray Squirrel. It is from the same group as the earlier one that was all red. This one looks somewhat like a Fox Squirrel but not exactly so.
I have more work to do on IDing these squirrels.

Hier je vous ai réalisé un petit portrait en cabine pour Noel , ça faisait longtemps 😉
Et j'en ai également profité pour faire quelques poses longues. Toujours très aléatoires , celle-ci est pas trop mal je trouve .

This is an artwork installation reflecting datasets by Anna Ridler. It's made up of 10,000 Polaroid photographs of tulips taken by the artist throughout the tulip season, with each one hand-labelled.
Each tulip is different. This photo shows 425 of them. A winner of the Beazley Designs of the Year Award 2019, exhibited at the Design Museum, London.
These images became an AI training data set - the information given to an algorithm to learn and recognise. it shows the human aspect behind machine learning, BUT it suggests that AI is benign and harmless, which is far from the case. AI IS EVIL - but that doesn't negate the beauty of this image in my eyes or the original artistic purpose of the installation.
Special note: This photo made the "Mercury" newspaper, Wednesday August 5, 2020, page 4.
Broadcast on Channel Ten - Melbourne.
So, printed and made the news in Melbourne, have 305 views and 28 Faves, as of 13 August, but not worthy of "Explore" algorithm. Go figure.
A gentle reminder about copyright and intellectual property-

algorithmic rejection, nibbling away at my soul, painless pin-prick, shouldn't care, don't really, really don't. three-d to two-d to one-d, then a point, then fade to black, all still there, still there. turn the page, see, still there, still here. still.

More fractal art !
Fractal art is a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations, and media. Fractal art developed from the mid-1980s onwards. It is a genre of computer art and digital art which are part of new media art.

We live in a Universe (...Multiverse?) that remains a magnificent mystery to us. On a beautiful planet of elegantly repeating patterns. Fractals and algorithms and random bursts of magic on all levels. When we're in a plane at 20,000 feet, we can see the cities and highways below us laid out in patterns that mimic the arteries and blood vessels in our bodies; which mimic the branches and roots of trees; which mimic the underlying structures of plants (...and almost everything, really) around us. And in a simple dried, snow topped, Winter leaf: a Universe...amazing..this place we call home. :)
A bit of a heat wave going on in Southern Europe...temps hitting 45°c that's around 105°f in old money. Phew!
On our first full day in Paris, and just after leaving our friend Yuji, I took this photo of Arc de Triomphe along Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Although I did post this photo about a half a year ago, I decided to re-post it using Canon's DPP for the RAW conversion and ACR/Photoshop for minor processing, as the results are significantly different. I have been using DPP for converting my raw files for the past few weeks now (saving as TIFF and editing in Photoshop), and I don't think I would ever use ACR for converting my Canon files again, as it does a very poor job. I think this is the case for most cameras, as Adobe does not appear to use the precise algorithms to accurately convert the files, which is unfortunate. My friend Rob just tested the software provided by Nikon for his Nikon D7000, and he has found that it is much better too. However, Photoshop/Lightroom is still far better for editing, so I would never just use DPP.

I'm not really sure what this little squirrel was up to... something crazy probably.

Not a perspective I would think of typically for shooting the Milky Way, but I noticed it transiting right between some trees near me on my Jemez Reflections shoot. My lantern makes the impression that the trees are being lit by a campfire.

An autorack fresh off some work in Dayton's Bluff Yard is now rolling towards Park Jct and having almost completed its trip to Northtown for a crew change.
Well, it had to happen, because to complete the proper Victorian aesthetic look in my downstairs office and reading room I had to change the Angle-Poise light I had on my desk, which was a spare from my attic office, up in the roof space.
So I found this lamp instead, which is in the classic Accountants/Banker style, but the shade is in white, instead of green or blue. I loved those colours, but felt that they would be too dominant on the desk itself. [Not that I am fussy or anything]. Also, you can’t see it in this photo, but there is a rather nice white glass ‘tulip-shaped’ lamp to the side, behind the sofa, which has a sort of elegance that I thought this light had on my Victorian desk and would echo in style to match.
Now I sound like some house interior magazine waffling on about design. But, I will be spending a lot of time in here, so I might as well get it right, and that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it!
So here I was working in the evening on the MacBook and using my written notes and reference books in my usual way.
This is for a part of a series that I am going to show on my website and Flickr, depending how it all goes, and as to what goes where, I will sort it out as it goes along. Actually there has been quite a lot of work that I have been organising over the past few months. I have had one of those patches where the writing flowed and I just wanted to keep going. A lot of it has ended up in a series, well, four of them so far, rather than just singles because the photographs were either taken on the same day in roughly the same location yet each seems has something to say, or they go together as a group because the weather was similar over a period of time. But seeing them as a series together just gives them more power. Whether this will work on Flickr I am not sure, as the format is a bit restricting, but on my website I can place them all up on a page of their own. On Flickr I might just choose a few examples to tempt you to go and look at it on my website, designed with the poem to go with it. The important thing for me is that they appear together somewhere. But then I will also be printing them out as well…
I know that on Flickr many just scroll through…perhaps not even reading the text that goes with it, or the poem, but lately I have been thinking about this and have decided that I am not going to concern myself with this behaviour anymore. It is there if people wish to engage with it more fully. Because I used to produce creative work for a living you got used to keeping a copy for yourself. And by that I mean a physical, printed copy. Nothing beats it, because you feel as though you have actually done something, and for me that is important to show that you have a body of work. Social media, and even websites can lose information, shut down, or be sold off to the highest bidder…and your work might be lost if you haven’t backed it up, not to mention the subscription fees..which keep going up.
I think that if you are serious about your work, you need to treat it seriously, and lately I am thinking that perhaps the body of work I leave might be of use in the future. I have been encouraged by the reaction to it on Flickr and elsewhere, and that has really helped me to continue producing it. But I have also been thinking about my own well-being and what I enjoy doing. And that is going out with my camera and being inspired to write poetry to go with it. In this way, the joy of producing that work will continue to shine through the work itself as long as I get the balance right.
And for those of you who are itching to know what those piles of books are in the image..don’t worry, there is going to be more about that later. Books should be shared and collections loved, and I have been collecting all my life…
The time seems to be going by faster. A lot has happened since my last upload, both on the world stage and personally, because of various power-cuts, another water-leak in my home, and other matters I am behind in my own schedule for about a month. This winter has been tough. I have had to also block some people on here, as I did not like their controlling behaviour; that is just not acceptable. If you do not like my work then just move on, but also perversely, those that do like it but want to invade my life and use either my work or my empathetic nature for their own benefit can also remove themselves from my presence. You have missed the point entirely of my work.
I am here to share my own journey of the soul, and to help you with yours if you want me to, through art and conversation. Perhaps as creative people we can all find an equilibrium in this, as it is something we can do, that we can rely on to help us through the turbulent years in our lives. I know for myself that this is true, as my work has helped me to remain relatively sane in difficult times. It is also good to share, not just in challenging times, but also in the good times.
The creative arts have always had a place in shaping history too, it can be very powerful. And it can also be quietly consoling.
As well as producing work for my own portfolio it has always been my intention to provide a gallery on Flickr and a website that shows my work in such a way that it can be a constructive help. I wanted both of them to be a calm space, a place you can go to when you need to think, or settle your mind. I wanted these works to provide an understanding of the human condition, of the difficulties of keeping your faith, whatever God you follow, and also the joy that spiritual faith can provide.
And most of all, I wanted my work to offer hope in any dark times you might be going through.
Thank you all for your support and I hope to keep sharing my work and enjoying the wonderful images that you all share on Flickr. In our own way, perhaps we can make the world a better place. It is a privilege to be in the Flickr community and those who care not only about their own work, but also each other.

Update..
Thank you to all those who have responded to this Explored image...and a special thank you to those who read the accompanying text...as that was what this image was for, just to keep people in the loop as to what I am up to. But maybe the algorithm fancied a read today, who knows? At least, for the moment, it is more benign than Kubrick's "Hal"...

Love to all, Shell xx
Fun with fractals!
I would say I was stuck in New Orleans due to a vehicle failure but the fact is I LOVE being home in New Orleans, so stuck is NOT the right word! Vehicle failure IS correct however. Ken had to fly home for work- me?! Lucky me,
A black & white rendition of a night shot in Gion, Kyoto.
The gentle light peeking through the Noren curtain on the extreme right of the frame. More soft light filters through the wooden lattices showing off the lattice patterns.
I like it that the black is really black like Japanese Sumi ink with proper details instead of having shadows crushed into a featureless blob. The dark vs lighter areas are also clearly distinct.
Tilt-shift (T-S) lenses can be said to be facing their Kodak moment as well, negatively. They were useful back in the analog days and earlier digital era when sensor resolution was still low.
In today’s world of high resolution sensors and more sophisticated software, how many photographers still need expensive T-S lenses?
“Keystone correction + shift” software have become much more sophisticated these days besides. While keystone adjustments in the past might reduce sharpness in the image areas that are stretched, the interpolation and sharpening algorithms of some of these software today have become so good that this is hardly noticeable.
This image underwent keystone and shift adjustments in post-processing, no camera/lens was hurt in the process 😇!

Retro and Perspective = RetroSpective
I'm going through a bit of a "why do photos need to be rectangular?" stage at the moment :)
I was just playing around with the words "Retro", "Perspective" and "Retrospective" and thought it'd be fun to do an angled perspective composition with a retrospective of some of my (according to Flickr's black magic algorithm) "most interesting" photographs and then treat this like a photograph. :). Probably the only time I'm ever going to see any of my photos hanging on a wall LOL :).
