Each day during the year, Flickr employs a 'secret' algorithm to select five hundred images for a daily-posted Explore page —all exemplifying some sort of 'interestingness.'
▶ During 2024, Flickr selected seventeen of my images for Explore:
☞ Percussionist in the green was my most viewed, at 10,310 views.
☞ Lanceleaf coreopsis (sepals & petals) was my most 'faved', with 282 'faves.'
☞ Tree falls into winter received the highest position (no. 78 out of 500), selected on 12 December 2024.

▶ WHAT IS EXPLORE?
"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.
Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.
Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.
Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

“Days of life
That seemed so unimportant
They seem to matter
And to count much later on”
—Genesis, “Fading Lights”
Everything at Imagine Dragons is too round, algorithmically perfect. What a festival rock fan expects is twofold: vocalist with positive speeches, strong percussion and overcoming lyrics, for example.
With two Lollapaloozas in the bag, Imagine Dragons debuted at Rock in Rio near its peak. The U2 of this end of the decade does not skimp on shredded paper and vowel refrain. It has insistent guitar riff, but also some hip hop (diluted but present) and, new to this tour, more arrangements with electronic footprint. It was a live test of the strength of the Imagine Dragons.
10:20 PM to 00:10 AM
23 songs.
Shots (part of the 7th. song of 23 songs)
Am I out of touch?
Am I out of my place?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for an empty space
Oh, I'm wishing you're here
But I'm wishing you're gone
I can't have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the meantime we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved
Am I out of luck?
Am I waiting to break?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for a way to escape
Oh, I'm wishing I had what I'd taken for granted
I can't help you when I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
In the meantime we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
I'm sorry for everything
Oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

Penultimate band to perform at Rock in Rio 2019, Imagine Dragons released the setlist that will play at the festival. They promise to make 23 songs this Sunday in Rock in Rio. Highlight for the group's best-known song, "Radioactive", which ends the presentation of the Americans.

Full live concert at Rock in Rio 2019:
"I like that rucksack of yours. It's great for traveling!"
Easily one of the strangest things a random stranger ever told me on the street as I walked past them. They weren't wrong though. Random strangers saying auspicious things rarely are.
In 2029, a famous company offered free to implant an electronic component in the brain to filter the thoughts, and keep those that allow the well being of the individual. This revolutionary technology was a worldwide success.
In 2033, a group of researchers discovered that this electronic implant enclosed a hidden component responsible for transmitting and storing all information related to the activities of the brain. But also allowed through a critical security vulnerabilities to guide the decisional choice of the individual at a distance.
At first, this possibility was exploited in the greatest secrecy by commercial companies, to guide purchases.
But in 2048, a world order called "The Black Box", union of multiple companies having built their empires by amassing all the data of human beings, took possession of this fault to "regulate" life on the planet.
In 2059, somewhere in the atmophere, this secret place named "Black Box 002" is entirely dedicated to the design of the firmware v1.02HB (for Human Brain) with which humanity will be updated. It will contain 90% artificial intelligence.
This new algorithm will define the rules and the global law supplanting the governments of the countries.
And the matrix began ...

PANO-Date Supplemental: While working with Photoshop layers that included a PANO shot at night, these dots popped up out of nowhere. They look to be the size of a 35mm negative strip but that, of course, would be impossible. Any ideas?
I put together this chapbook of drawings I made using code I've written over several years. I've printed and bound a few at home, and mailed several out so far. I'm please with how it turned out. Let me know if you want one!
many might wonder.... what is kenny thinking here ?????
well... i took this shot during one insomniac night. i drove around and found an industrial harbor under a greenish bridge, not really a pretty scene i would say !!!
many contacts have mentioned about the "DONKEY" has changed it's diet lately, and some have purposely testing the "DONKEY" by uploading not so pretty photos.
somehow... i found it inspiring... so... i upload one too =P
explore or not, donkey ride or not .... doesn't really matter with our passion toward photography, don't you think so or don't you not? :D

****This frame was chosen on August 15th 2014 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #t271 This is my Fifty Second photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to everyone who visited, favourite and commented on the frame*****

while waiting for the perfect shot at palazzo te, in the late afternoon of a perfect day, i turned to my left and spied this little detail in the column of an open portal to the walkway to the garden by the courtyard of the palace of long-ago royalty in the city called 'the sleeping beauty' ... she is all of that.

One of the last from the secret stash - didn't have any opportunity or time today.
This is Jacco at IKEA. Not a great shot, but sometimes the fun is more important than the shot.
Bit disappointed with myself that I wasn't able to do something with this month's theme, but hey ho.
Speaking of the monthly theme - please see the discussion page to choose April's theme. I'll return later this week for the final verdict.
Explored
Well, it seems that I have been Explored again. I will never understand it. It must be some algorithm that has nothing to do with beauty or technical sophistication, because this shot involves neither and isn't a very representative example of my photos. Somehow, it's usually my FDT shots that get Explored. Flickr moves in mysterious ways.
