Yup, as many of you figured out yesterday, the announcement about me leaving was all a prank. :)
While some of the stuff I said was true, like me being more busy these days and running a bit low on new ideas, the rest was mostly exaggeration and I still love making funnies. Just because Flickr is changing a little and some jokes aren't always a hit is no reason to leave, so don't worry, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. ;-) I will only be on vacation for a week, but after that, it's business as usual.
I hope you had a nice April Fools Day and still enjoy my work.
Tattoo on my right leg of the tarot card "The Fool" depicted as a calacas, or skeleton from The Day of the Dead festival. My concept, designed and tattooed by Martin of Lucky Stars Tattoos, San Jose, California.
This photo was on Flickr's Explore on September 10, 2004.
Fool Creek is a beautiful stream north of Burgess Junction in the northern Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. This is a beautiful place. When I was a boy, my dad brought me to fish on this creek usually a little further down from where this photo was taken. Usually I didn't fish much but collected rocks and fossils while my dad and brother fished.
Bought in Bordeaux, France. Hand tinted April Fool's day (1st April) card. Fish in photo refer to the French tradition of calling it "April Fish day" - don't know why.
um....april fools!

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that
never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled
look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie
i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore
it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool
======================================
No one Can hide hem\her self by any Mask..
Because there are many obesticals that will show yout truth face..

Trompe-l'oeil, Fooling the Eye and other Forms of Eck Eck
Mary Magdalene
Hispano-Filipino
c. 1750-1815
Solid ivory image surrounded by a silver radiance known as a “Rafaga”.
Height of Ivory: 9 in; 13.5 in to top of crown; 17 in to top of radiance.
Overall Height w/ Base: 19.5”h.
This imposing figure is supposedly an ivory carving of the image of Mary Magdalene. But this is an intentional deception in that in this iconography, she is presented as if she were the Virgin Mary. She wears a silver crown. And her entire body is surrounded by a nimbus of light known as the “Rafaga”. At first blush, one is lead to believe that this is an image of the Virgin. And since the Rafaga is traditionally associated only with images of Christ or the Virgin, the addition of this feature was an intentional act to deceive.
According to the auction catalog, this image was formerly in the collection of a Connecticut gentleman and his wife who lived in Columbia for over a decade. This object was purchased from a friend who told him that the image was found in Cali and is reputed to have arrived at Buenaventura, Columbia from Acapulco sometime between 1665-1815.
However, a closer examination of the figure reveals the truth. This is not an image of the Virgin nor any of the Catholic saints. This is a standing image of the goddess Guan-Yin. On her right hand, she holds a rosary-like chaplet of beads but those are just Buddhist prayers beads and have no Catholic symbolism. On her left hand she is supposed to hold the “Holy Grail”. In actuality, she holds a Ruyi scepter, a ceremonial talisman in Chinese Buddhism symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore.
The dates provided are also irrelevant and misleading. The years between 1665 and 1815 span the entire period of the Manila Galleon trade. Anything and everything arrived in the New World from the East at this time! In other words, they are meaningless.
Although attributed to the Hispano-Filipino workshops, the carving style of the image is not consistent with Philippine carving of images of the Virgin or other female saints. The image wears a long robe which falls in lanky horizontal folds ending at the hem. Her toes do not peep through. She wears no mantle. The edges of the tunic are decorated with geometric designs unknown in Philippine iconography. The carving of the hair is wrong for this attribution. The eponymous “suksuk” or tuck is missing. And her lips are not painted with the trademark orange-red hue of Philippine made saints.
It’s amazing what a little bit of silver can do to fool the eye.
I only took this so I would have a place to put The Top 100 April Fools Hoaxes of All Time :-)
IN 2001, IT WAS A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the embedded horrid capitalist exploitation of the world. NO VIOLENCE just FUN...
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) !
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE...then to the OLD STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone tossing old socks in the air ! A RIOT!
Onward to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's greedy heart!
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes

I think I fooled around with textures a bit too much. Now I am checking myself into rehab.
A propos checking: yesterday I checked if I have any photos on explore and guess what? All of my photos were on explore. I checked a couple of times during the day and the same result. Today everything is back to normal. I am a bit ashamed it took me a day to figure out that this was the bighugelabs joke for 1st of April. At least I have a wonderful scout poster with all my photos on it!

And came the ripples as my tired flesh prevailed
Thorny recollections that tumbled and twirled within
Traversed the sea of pain and heard the doubters wail
All hope of reconciliation, replaced by sin
A pathway followed, feet tentatively placed
This lonely man with soulless eyes so blinkered, blind
Eyes so sad as footsteps traced
In every moment, face of yours I find
I broke your heart and ran amok with glee
At leisure for my selfish deeds I pay
Ensnare a heart and cage it, captive, never free
And you will rule a foolish king each day
As broken as your will, I walk this day
Tortured by your loss, my careless actions cast
Forgive me from the other side I pray
My life so sad, until you do, must last
And came the leaves upon the gentle water flowing
In their demise such beauty touched my blackened soul
As though towards a better life and knowing
The joy along the journey be your treasured goal
I sat upon the rocky banks and dipped my fingers
The crystal waters ebbed and flowed with grace
Reflections of your purity then lingered
I turned away to hide my shameful face
We breathe so few, the precious breaths, like jewels
Upon the hallowed ground that Mother Nature tends
A long time dead, our legacy of kings or fools
On fate and actions surely must depend
And I, the fool, sit humbly by the lapping waters edge
The sound of your voice within my aching head
Deceit and lies, the promises of love I'd pledged
The twisted remnants haunt me of the words I'd said
The river soothed my cold and cowardly discontent
As quietly with the moss and reedy river I did lay
Pain and guilt within, not circumvent
My chances squandered, treat contempt each day
Forgive me for my failings deep and many
Reach out a hand from water cool and touch my flesh
As here I cry, devoid of virtues, any
Please here my sorrow deep, to you, confess
.

April: April Fool! In the North Transept under the Five Sister Window, the 3D glasses and this story was left for visitors.
The enigma of the Five Sisters Window is revealed
The 13th Century grisaille window in the North Transept of York Minster, known as the Five Sisters window, has been an enigma for many centuries. At first glance it appears to be made up of a series of repeated geometric patterns, but purely by accident the secret of this window has been revealed.
Earlier this year a young family visited the Minster, having been to the cinema to see a film, which happened to be in 3D. The daughter was still wearing her 3D glasses as they entered and said to her parents “look at that!” Her parents thought she was amazed by the scale of the window, but as she kept telling her parents about the female figures they were mystified. It was only when they put on the glasses that they saw the same images that their daughter had seen.
(Stained and painted coloured glass plays optical tricks, often, when photographed, and especially on transparencies, certain colours – reds and blues can appear to be in 3D.)
Scientific research has shown that this is not just a chance happening, but was intended by the mediaeval glaziers, and the five sisters window was one of the largest optical illusions in mediaeval Britain. To most people it would look as it does today, but for some, especially those in the know, who could afford glasses the window would appear somewhat different. An example of the glasses used can be seen in one of the windows in All Saints Church on North Street in York, where a man is holding a simple pair of spectacles, but these would have had one green and one red lens (red glass was very expensive to make, so the glasses would have cost quite an amount).
In the North Transept of York Minster we have re-created the effect of the spectacles using pieces of red and green glass on a frame, and invite visitors to sit behind them and marvel at what our ancestors first saw!

Layla is right where she wants to be...............but is she fooling herself in thinking that Qhuinn really wants the same?
Here on 'flicker' there don't seem to be any April Fools pranks going on, but over at bighugelabs.com they're doing Explore Posters showing all your images having made Explore. Sometimes it is nice to see your photos like this, you can learn quite a bit about how Flicker sees your images.

i've got two roomates... both about 23, young by my standards. one of them (the new one, here a month) decides to pull an old trick on april 1. roomate #2 walks into my room, 3pm, and says 'did you do that?', 'what?', he explains and im instantly proud, but also burst out laughing as i find the evidence of the trick played out on #2's entire crotch (nice aim) and then my laughter turns slightly nervous when #2 explains this is the 5th time its happened to him. today.
he wanted to leave the thing that way, hoping that when #1 returns from work he will somehow be caught by his own prank... #2 has a serious case of ADD and kept using the sink. 5 times.

IT WAS A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the embedded horrid capitalist exploitation of the world.
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) ! i shouted MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the business people in the Financial District who stopped and stared in utter confusion.
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE. There in honor of CLOWNS WITHOUT BOARDERS they put a 'red clown nose' on one of the statues! ADDA DADA got the crowd cheering 'HERO' for the guy who put the nose on the statue.
then to the PACIFIC STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone exchanged socks & then tossed them in the air! One of ADDA DADA's Christmas SANTAs socks were found and declared a SAINT STUPID HOLY RELIC! (you so know i loved that)
Onward we went to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's black greedy heart! (This is just like the muslims in Mecca who toss rocks at the black stone which represents the devil..)
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes
Good luck that the videos go on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE tonight
Last one from the roof of the Playfair Project before heading up The Mound to the Old Town.
This is the Bank of Scotland Headquarters on The Mound. Now part of, and rescued by, Lloyds Banking Group as a result of its mortgage divisions' involvement in the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2008.
