If you wanna spit your beer out of both nostrils head over to Flickr's 'The Help Forum' where many soon to be ex Flickr users are venting their frustrations in the deafening silence of a response from either Flickr or Yahoo.
The consensus is that Flickr tanked this one big time and a lot of people are moving to or opening up accounts on ipernity.com...
which looks a lot like Flickr used to and shows photographs in a more classy and elegant way... not like a pile of different sized bricks all squeezed together.
They also have a tool that lets you upload your pictures from Flickr in batches of 180 at a time.
Flickr's been filled with bugs and glitches and slow as hell all day.
Maybe that's because of all of the bandwidth getting used to move pictures to other sites or the volume of angry complaints going to Flickr on the 'Help Forum.'
I don't know.
I've signed up for an account at Ipernity and I'll explore it over the next few days.
If Flickr keeps this format I have to find another place to share my photographs because I just don't think this fits.
You guys have always inspired me and this place has always felt like a community.
But the reality is that we never 'owned' anything here.
The look of our community changed drastically in a moment without us even being prepared for it with some warning.
I don't know why... but I feel betrayed.
And I shouldn't.
I should just take my pictures somewhere where they 'fit.'
Complaining to the 'Help Forum' on Flickr here someone put it like this...
'I feel like my family album just got destroyed in a fire.'
I feel you man... I really do.
You know I wanna stay positive and be inspired and create whatever it is that I create in a community of people who do the same and appreciate the details that I appreciate too.
You and Flickr always felt like 'an old friend.'
And quite honestly, that old friend Flickr is dead.
Look at this screen shot above and read between the lines.
The community is outraged.
When the staff at Flickr has to remind us that 'personal attacks against Staff or other users will not be tolerated'...
well... you gotta figure that there's a LOT of outrage.
I miss my Flickr.
And I'll miss you guys.
I've always felt the love and I still do.
I'll be around... but if something drastic doesn't happen in Flickerland over the next few days more and more of my time, my photographs and my attention will be elsewhere...
probably on Ipernity.
I miss seeing you guys the way that I used to see you.
And Flickr... RIP.
You were a good friend.
I'll miss you buddy.
Got bored. Figured since I made a lolcat poster, I might as well make a demotivator, too.
Created with fd's Flickr Toys
Also I fail at directions.

Love is not what you see in the movies.
Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene
True love is sacrifice.
Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself
Love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love.
Love is when you lay down your life for another
Whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister
Its even laying down your life for your enemies,
That's unthinkable, but think about that
Love is true.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast
It is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
You see love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres
Love never fails. Love is everlasting
Its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time
Love is the only thing that will last when you die
Salmon dies trying to get upstream to spawn...the height of the Leland dam is too high for them to jump over.
I was actually pretty happy with the crane, because I finally managed to get a good reach. It couldn't actually lift anything though.
Will be demolishing this in my coming weekend and start building something completely different.
i'm back, after a failed attempt going out as a girl, my worst makeup ever, poor quality pic and my big male face.... I am thinking about how can I do to look more feminine
What a bummer. Laptop destroy.
I was walking outside at night, hypnotized by design at www.notcot.org, and failed to negotiate some concrete steps. Both my Macbook and I fell hard.

P.S. GOT CS:GO
this is almost a double fail. 1) the whatever it was that was roadkill and 2) the idiot State workers that couldn't clear the path before painting the line.

On Sunday June 9th 2019, Waitrose closed the doors of its branch in Teignmouth for the last time after just 5 years of trading here. According to the area manager it was no longer sustainable.
Stacks of newspapers from Saturday, languish outside waited to be collected.
Yep - I've been busy - too busy for volunteer stuff. BUT - I did keep up my 365. Even on July 31, I took a foot shot with old sheets. Yes, my creativity hasn't been in the picture for a long time. Even though many of my shots were just a "hold up the camera backwards" type, I still tried to put in a bit of my story in the background. This "fail" shot was a reject for another day so I was trying (a little).
I'm not a quitter so this does upset me. I think I missed because I got behind in posting. If you do it each day...you won't forget.
In general I do not write reminders on my own flesh...and now I know why. It didn't work. I'd intended to pick up more paintbrushes on the way home (the nice spongy kind, for edging) but didn't glance down and notice this until I'd already pulled into the driveway. Too late. Game over.
---- Scicli (Sicily): Ride of Saint Joseph ----
---- Scicli (Sicilia): la Cavalcata di S.Giuseppe ----
-----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a short and long reports that I made this year in Scicli (Sicily); it's a popular event called "Ride of Saint Joseph", tradition handed down from the Middle Ages, with some features that most likely originated during the period of ancient Rome, when the ancient Romans thanked the "sol invictus", the moment of the triumph of Light (the coming of Spring) who wins the cold and dark winter. Every year during the feast of St. Joseph in Scicli (Sicily) is commemorated with a "ride" that takes place along the streets of the town, the escape that took place in Egypt riding a donkey, of Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus; for the occasion, people will light characteristic bonfires light up the night. The figurative narrative of the escape into Egypt recounted in the Gospels, it is held every year around March 19 (this year on 2 April), with the preparation of the horses that are covered by a particular structure which is then decorated - harnessed with various flowers "of spring", wild lilies, wallflowers mantles, the horses thus assume the role of real "living tableaux" bearing depictions that tell of the Holy Family and theyr escape into Egypt. The traditional feast has its roots in the peasant culture, people ask St. Joseph for his intercession so that the harvest is plentiful, so the water does not ever fail: His image is present in every stable, the Holy protected the peasant family from every misfortune, every famine. This year the city of Scicli was literally "invaded" by the presence of numerous horses and riders, anticipating the appearance of horses "harnessed", donated suggestions and choreography that seemed to belong to an ancient Sicily.

Questo è un breve e lungo report che ho realizzato quest'anno in quel di Scicli (Sicilia), della caratteristica manifestazione popolare chiamata "cavalcata di San Giuseppe", festa tradizionale che si tramanda fin dal periodo medioevale, con alcune caratteristiche che molto probabilmente originano finanche dal periodo dell'antica Roma, quando si ringraziava il "sol invictus", il momento del trionfo della Luce (ovvero il giungere della Primavera) che vince sull'inverno freddo ed oscuro. Ogni anno durante la festa di San Giuseppe a Scicli (Sicilia) si rievoca con una "cavalcata" (che si svolge lungo le vie della cittadina), la fuga che avvenne in Egitto in sella ad un asinello, di Giuseppe, Maria e del bambin Gesù; per l'occasione si accendono caratteristici falò che illuminano la notte. La narrazione figurata della fuga in Egitto raccontata dai Vangeli, si svolge ogni anno intorno al 19 marzo (quest'anno il 2 Aprile), con la preparazione dei cavalli che vengono rivestiti da una particolare struttura la quale poi viene decorata - bardata con fiori vari "della primavera", gigli selvatici, manti di violaciocche; i cavalli assumono così il ruolo di veri "tableux viventi" recanti raffigurazioni che narrano della Sacra Famiglia e della fuga in Egitto. La festa affonda le sue radici nella cultura contadina, si chiede a San Giuseppe la sua intercessione affinchè il raccolto sia abbondante, affinchè l'acqua non abbia mai a mancare: la Sua immagine è presente in ogni stalla, il Santo proteggeva ieri come oggi la famiglia contadina da ogni sventura, da ogni carestia. Quest'anno la città di Scicli è stata letteralmente "invasa" dalla presenza di numerosissimi cavalli e cavalieri che, anticipando la comparsa dei cavalli "bardati", hanno donato suggestioni e coreografie che sembravano appartenere ad una Sicilia ... antica.
One of my many failed attempts at a snow spiral.
I've been making snow spirals every winter since 2010. I make them during the day, with the intention of using them as a template for light painting at night.
One of the main problems I've had is that they're hard to photograph from the ground, so I've been searching for a good cliff, hill, or elevated area to shoot from, but the place I live is pretty flat. There's a lot of sand and gravel pits around here, but not many you can easily access, so I was happy to find this one, which seems abandoned.
Another snow spiral problem I've had is unwanted footprints, because the best spirals I've made have to start from the center, so there's always a line of footprints that cut through the spiral.
This time I tried starting from the outside and working my way in, but there was a pile of sand that through me off, and my spiral quickly turned oval instead of round.
There wasn't enough snow either (sometimes I've had too much) under the snow was a layer of frozen snow that had previously been rained on, and the parts of the timelapse where I move slower are because I was kicking at the ice, trying to make a visible path.
To make things worse, I was too tired to go back that night to do the light painting, and the next day it got covered in snow.
I later realized that this area won't work for lining up the spiral with the north star, because you lose the high vantage point, since the path on the right is where you would need to set up, and that area has been dug out.
