Here’s one more Vertorama from my archives… taken about three months ago from a beach near Camps Bay.
I’ve recently noticed that some anonymous Flickr user (with no buddy icon or photos on their stream) has been adding meaningless comments to several of my contacts’ photos. These comments always include a small image which appears to be a video-player… and a link to click on if you want check out the video.
That got me thinking about all these warnings that I get to NEVER click on any links included in an email message… unless the email was sent by someone who I can really trust. These days I get an average of about 10 emails per week from my bank (supposedly)… asking me to click on the link below to confirm my bank details. Of course these emails are NOT being sent to me by my bank… but rather by criminals who are trying to redirect me to their website… to enter my bank details… so that they can use them steal all my money! This is commonly known as a “Phishing Attack”.
So… I wondered… what’s to stop someone from launching their phishing attack from a link included in a Flickr comment? If I clicked on their link… couldn’t that automatically start downloading a trojan or some or other keystroke-logging program that would monitor all my keyboard activity… looking out for passwords and other banking details? And even if the comment (and link) has been added by one of my trusted contacts… surely it would be quite simple to create a new Flickr account with a name like “Mike Jones Photgraphy” (incorrectly spelled)… using Mike’s buddy icon… in an attempt to catch the unwary Flickr users?
Even those notification emails that Flickr sends me (to my private email address) when someone has added me as a contact… surely it would be the easiest thing in the world to fake that simple email and to send it to people who have a Flickr account? I never click on the links in these emails messages… I always log on to Flickr first… then go to my inbox… and then click on the links in the messages listed there. But I have no doubt that there are many people who do click on the links in these notification emails… can you really be sure that the email is being sent to you by Flickr?
So… I have decided that from today onwards… I will no longer be clicking on any links included in any comments… from anybody that I don’t know! Call me paranoid if you like… I call it playing safe! Food for thought?
My favorite image of the day is this amazing photo by master landscape photographer Jesse Estes from Portland in Oregon. This particular photograph was taken in Yosemite during the Winter of 2009… maybe it’s the fact that I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot a snow scene… but this is probably my favorite image that I’ve EVER seen on Flickr! You rock Jesse… you’re miles ahead of me… but I’m hoping that if I pay careful attention to what you’re doing… that one day I might also be able to shoot something as incredible as this!

We used a candy corn cutter to give each camp member a triangle to create a cookie, thinking outside the box!! You cannot believe how creative everyone was and how many different directions the cookies were turned. At camp, Jen Whitlock showed me how to make Royal Icing flowers and so I used some of them to come up with this design!! They voted this the best triangle cookie design and I won a beautiful copper cutter from ECrandal! Thanks everyone!!!!

Scatto fatto in direzione opposto al mio precedente upload,come si può vedere il Gran Sasso ci ha regalato un'alba superba a 360° :-)
No camping experience is complete without the folding chairs, bikes, rafts, nets, and of course, an Elk on your doorstep.
While camping in Whistler Park in Jasper, we shared the campground with a herd of Elk. They made themselves at home, and even though they seemed quite tame and unfazed by all the humans around them, we still gave them the right of way as they are rather impressively large wild animals, and quite a few youngsters were tagging along with their mothers. This female settled in for an afternoon snooze under one of our neighbor's awinings, to get a little shade.
I'm home for a few days reorganizing, then off again for a couple more weeks back to Wisconsin. I hope to start getting back up to speed in September.
One of our favorite camping spots in Southland.

One of the biggest highlights of last year was no doubt the opportunity to head over to Los Angeles to meet and hang out with some inspiring, creative minds at Phootcamp. This year, I'm doing it all again in Marfa, Texas! As part of the application process, we had to shoot a self portrait (see last year's here). The portrait was inspired by everything I learned at last year's camp and included a few recurring themes from other people's photos! The shirt I'm wearing is inspired by this "Nate Bolt!" shirt by Steph Goralnick. The portrait has also been featured along with the many other talented Phoot Camp attendees here on Pictory, an always beautiful and inspiring website created by Phootcamp founder, Laura Miner. I can't wait to meet all the new faces and really dig deep into getting creative with such an awesome bunch of people!

Camp Bison II Burwash Industrial Farm || Burwash Correctional Centre
The community was built to house the staff working at the Burwash Industrial Farm (also referred to as the Burwash Correctional Centre), a provincial jail that housed anywhere from 180 to 820 inmates during its history. The prison opened in 1914 and shuttered in 1975, after it was deemed to be too costly to run despite it being a self-sufficient institution.
Prior to the construction of Highway 69, Burwash was an isolated location in the Wanapitei River valley, accessible only from a nearby station on the Canadian Northern Railway (today's Canadian National Railway). At its peak, the correctional facility owned 35,000 acres (14,164 ha) and leased an additional 100,000 acres (40,469 ha) of land, and was the fourth-largest employer in the Sudbury area. Following the construction of Highway 69, the facility became less isolated and signs were posted on the highway advising motorists not to pick up hitchhikers in the area due to the possibility of convict escapes.
Because the prison's geographic isolation meant that employees could not simply commute from Sudbury or Killarney on a daily basis, a townsite was required for the guards and support staff that worked at the prison farm and the community, built by inmate labor, housed anywhere up to about 1,000 residents. It boasted a public school, which went from kindergarten through grade 10 at one point, a church, a post office, a barber shop, a tailor shop and a shoe repair shop. There was also a grocery store that sold bread made by the inmates, meat from the farm and vegetables produced by the inmates, as well as other grocery items which were brought in from Sudbury. Milk was delivered to the door by horse and wagon and the garbage was picked up by a different horse and wagon. There was a complete working sawmill, which milled the trees cut down by inmates. The village was built from the lumber and all of the provincial parks were provided with picnic tables made there as well. Burwash was considered to be almost self-sufficient, with the inmates working at various trades and receiving an education.
One of the few successful escapes from the prison took place on May 17, 1966, when convicted murderer Wayne Ford and two other prisoners escaped into the bush, walking for 16 miles before stealing a car and making it to Toronto. All three were eventually recaptured, and transferred to maximum security institutions.
A small camp for anticitizens inside the ruins of an abandoned industrial building. Even in the darkest of times, temporary peace has found this couple. Happy holidays, everyone.
Nothing special here, took this oppertunity to show off the new Rebel figs. Next picture will showcase my AR2 concept.
