THE NEW GLOBAL CONSUMER: DOING BUSINESS IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY
The digital economy is no longer part of the economy. It is the economy. How can traditional brick-and-mortar firms reinvent themselves, their supply chains, and their marketplaces to avoid the fate of brands once thought of as everlasting but which are now nonexistent? And how are new platforms – from e-commerce to shared services – rewriting the rules of the game? A conversation on how businesses can manage expectations for digitally empowered customers, and how technology is being used to enhance the customer experience.

This series of photos shows our cruise ship's journey along the Fiordland coast between Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound, and then our looping route in one entrance to this enormous fiord and out another. The reaction of my fellow passengers to this magnificent New Zealand scenery was, in itself, wonderful to observe.
•Doubtful Sound is a very large and naturally imposing fiord in Fiordland, in the far south west of New Zealand. Doubtful Sound was named 'Doubtful Harbour' in 1770 by Captain Cook, who did not enter the inlet as he was uncertain whether it was navigable under sail. It was later renamed Doubtful Sound by whalers and sealers. There are three distinct arms to the sound, which is the site of several large waterfalls, notably Helena Falls at Deep Cove, and the Browne Falls which have a fall of over 600 metres. The steep hills are known for their hundreds of waterfalls during the rainy season. Access to the sound is either by sea, or by the Wilmot Pass road from the Manapouri Power Station. Most areas of the sound itself are only accessible by sea however, as the road network in this area of New Zealand is sparse or nonexistent, as is the human population. Doubtful Sound is unusual in that it contains two distinct layers of water that scarcely mix. The top few meters is fresh water, fed from the high inflows from the surrounding mountains, and stained brown with tannins from the forest. Below this is a layer of cold, heavy, saline water from the sea. The dark tannins in the fresh water layer makes it difficult for light to penetrate. Thus, many deep-sea species will grow in the comparatively shallow depths of the Sound.

With a minus tide, the bird watching is almost nonexistent. Plenty of ducks and shorebirds are present, but they are way way way far from shore. Sea lions and a cormorant are closer to the camera, but still a way way far away.
No complaints from me this time, because it was a rare and special winter day with not a cloud in sight, calm wind, and 64F/18C. I was very happy to be out enjoying the day.
The Snowden Bridge near Nohly, Montana was built in the early 1900’s and spans the Missouri River. The bridge not only served the railroad, but planking was added so cars could also cross the river. Huge concrete counterweights allowed the lift system to raise the bridge in around 30 minutes. The bridge was almost obsolete when it was completed as river traffic was almost nonexistent at that time. A new bridge was built nearby toward Fairview, Montana halting traffic on this bridge.

Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

This ship is my favorite out of my physical collection. Its just the rights size for play while still having enough detail for display and has an interior. Said interior is based of the cross section book for the force awakens. There is a single bed and nothing else. I wish that the bed could be moved over though, as it is taking up quite a bit a space.
Problems:
the rear door is invisible
the rear wings are not all the way at the end of the ship
there are no front wings
the cockpit is nonexistent
The C-208 is loaded with double 8" LF/MF and a single high energy 2" HF driver. Each enclosure is constructed of high grade birch ply-wood and is custom fitted with steel fly hardware that has been test rated for a 7:1 static load, hanging up to 16 enclosures in a single array. Our user friendly hardware allows for hanging and ground stacking applications, permitting the user to stack up to six enclosures.
All C-208 enclosures are hand wired using premium 14 gauge wire and Neutrik brand NL8 connectors. All drivers are built with cast fame baskets for strength and longevity. Our compression drivers have replaceable titanium diaphragms for superb sound quality, performance and durability. We use a standard phase plug design to control the isophasic wave form as well as a wave guide system for smooth coverage and coupling. Our components are designed and built to a commercial standard and have a proven track record on tours ranging from stadiums to festivals of up to 30 shows per month with practically a nonexistent failure rate.
All C-208 enclosures are equipped with a removable back panel that can be disconnected and replaced by an internal TVi multi channel "Class D" power amplifier module. Each power amplifier has a built in multi-channel processor that has been chamber tuned for the C-208 to achieve a flat response curve with pre set limiters, DSP and crossover points. One amplified C-208 enclosure will also power one additional non-powered C-208 enclosure in tri amp mode by daisy chaining an NL8 cable.
I was walking back to my vehicle after my first Christmas themed night shoot and passed a gentleman directing traffic over this bridge, I thought for a minute and turned around to take a night shot with my cross cut filter. I ended up talking to this guy for about 30 minutes.
During the drive home I thought about this young man, his story and a project that I saw here on flicker called 100 faces. I am now kicking myself for not getting a portrait of this young man. But I would still like to share his story with you. His story for Joining Teen Challenge, living in Missouri he got into drugs at an early age as his parents were nonexistent and with nothing to do, the recourse was illegal activities. The Teen Challenge is not yet in his home town where his son is living, he aspires to rise through the ranks and one day brings a Teen Challenge Center back home. Along with is son back home, here in California, he has a daughter.

A lone police officer directs nonexistent traffic coming and going from the parking lot late one night, with the lights of the midway in the background - Ohio State Fair 2014
Back in the olden days, fans of railways on the brink of closure copied The Titfield Thunderbolt film to save their line, but soon discovered just how impractical high maintenance open cabbed ancient museum locomotives could be outside the summer months. Getting parts was also an issue with demand outstripping an almost nonexistent supply, so dubious bodges were frequently used to keep things operational.
With the British Railways Modernisation Plan of the mid-1950s, there suddenly became a surplus of more modern locomotives available, most with enclosed cabs and that all important plentiful supply of parts, many almost brand new in many cases.
Waving Willy has managed to cop himself a bargain for the price of a round of drinks from his local secondhand railway dealer who just so happens to be Terry Tuttle-Thomas-Smythe. So now now he’s the proud owner of his very own Titfield Thunderbolt inspired train.
Hopefully he’ll be able to keep it running, because it will almost certainly be a money pit, for running and maintaining vintage locos and trains is rather like running a classic car, for you need deep pockets, skills and unlimited hours to work on them (known from first hand experience of having a couple of vintage MG cars back in the day).

SB-26 with 1/4 CTO gel camera right, bounced off ground at 1/2 power, 35mm zoom.
Triggered by hot-shoe mounted SB-28 fired away from model.
D90, ISO 800, 1/50s.
105mm f/2.0.
This was shot for Strobist Lighting 102 homework 3.1: balancing ambient light with flash at sundown.
I made things much harder than was necessary by choosing not to carry an umbrella that day. So much for experimenting with harder light. Every photo I made that evening was either way underexposed or horribly lit.
I had to process this a fair bit (including a lot of softening, very noticeable even at small size) to make it usable, and still have to apologize to my model for making a pretty unflattering photo of her. When I get the chance, this will be reshot.
The other mistake was not arriving at the location in time. When your aperture is opened to f/2.0 and it's still too dark to focus - and when ISO 800 at 1/50 is still giving you massive underexposure - you know it's time to go home, and learn to get set up earlier or invest in some continuous lighting.
Overall, in light of the amount of damage-limitation processing necessary, this has to be my weakest submission. Anyway, that's enough self-criticism.
The sunset colors were almost nonexistent; and some hazy, smoggy clouds blowing in on the horizon were thwarting my hopes for a lovely blue dusk. I took a few shots of the sunset reflecting in the river, which threw off some lovely oranges.
Then the street lamps came on, and the color was about the same, only brighter. So I faked - well, half faked - my sunset. Don't see why not. Out of curiosity, would you have noticed without my confessing?
Reshoot pending... In the meantime, your thoughts are much appreciated - especially on the topic of how someone might light attractively without modifiers. Given that some of you seem to have done just that, and to good effect, some tips would be great!
This is an interesting little guy that I haven't seen sold before. The leaves vary from grey-green/purple to bright red on the smaller plants. On top is a bright, tiny, pinkish-red pineapple. Probably in preparation for Valentine's day, it is sold in a pink pot, though that now sits in my the storage closet waiting for a better companion. I chose a larger plant with a small to nonexistent fruits, but several babies already well on their way. As with most bromeliads, this plant will die within a year or so of flowering...essentially feeding itself to the offshoots growing around it. Here in the photo, you can see it newly nestled in a hanging basket that positions it as close as possible to the winter grow light.
Minnesota Winters can be brutal. Below zero temps. and windchills of -35 are all too common. I'm personally sick and tired of freezing my balls off............. Literally.
So, I decided to invent heated boxers. How are they heated, you ask? Good question. The fabric is double-layered. There is a series of small tubes running between the two fabrics. Heated water flows through the tubes.
How is the water heated you ask? Good question. One that I can't answer though because the process is highly confidential.I can however tell you the name of the water heating process. It's called; Molecular Distillation Destabilization.

The found footage is a word that depicts the creation of audiovisual pieces using other pieces originally designed for absolutely different aims.
It can be recontextualized from a subsequent edition that, among other things might be live, In which case we should start from material gathered from old cans of film showing Argentine family moments and fragments of super 8 mm film of the Home Movie day calling, section Argentina.
Please refer to:
homemovieday.com/
homemoviedayargentina.blogspot.com/.
This work is based on the generation of a piece based on material that was originally designed at least 30 years ago, when current technologies, poetics and resources were nonexistent or barely explored.
A reflection on audiovisual communication and presentation ways throughout the time is set out. At the same time, a public authorized sight and value is expressed by means of the film familar album on super 8 mm.
Two Things, or What I Said to the Bank One Day
1. So you are coming for me now? There is no shapeshifting from you and really it's just business anyway. I, tethered to a mirage, floating on some American dream of itself. The promise of plenty is based on the always inward, always selfish, always nonexistent myth. At least own that you manufacture that. You don't make anything I can hold, but you do make up stories, right? I bought my slice of the pie and now you are tying me to this log of a lie while the mirage of happiness floats to light. The real thing was never a part of this. I missed that. My bad.
2. What you see floating is the shapeshifting me simply leaving this story behind. I am not abdicating anything, not running, not not doing something. What is happening here is that the Me you seek is not the person I am. I am not inhabiting the space that you take up with paperwork and deadlines and threats, which are really all just business, and I know you love your work. My lack of experience and specialized knowledge led to predictable, unworthy alliances. Come for me and find what you came for but it won't be me. I will still be here, right in front of you, having just left on the next floating thing out of here.
Thanks for looking. Leave a comment, make a friend. Banners, however, are for parades.

You've got a troupe l'oeil fake balcony, it takes some nerve to paint a fake live peacock on it. He's gonna flutter off into the nonexistent shadowed interior there, much like Wile E. Coyote's Roadrunner.
Taken while walking through Barrio Viejo in Tucson, realizing that all the previous shots I've taken here are (at least currently) nonexistent.
Sorry for being a slacker visiting photostreams. Have been lazy and trying to be inspired again. It's tough, though, with work and the hard drive crash and all....
About 20 peace activists vigiled at the Aberdeen City Hall to oppose the shipment of weapons of death to Iraq.
The vigil was under intense scrutiny by the police. An unmarked squad car observed the whole event from across the street.
I think that the heavy police presence was an intimidation tactic. On the bright side, I felt safe from attack by the pro-war crowd (which was virtually nonexistent - except for a brief shower of curse words and insults from Shelley Webber about 15 minutes into the vigil as she thundered off in her giant pickup truck)!

It was a lovely sunny day and I couldn't have picked a nicer place to have my back act up than here on Salmon River Road. I managed to get a couple of decent shots of the old cedar rail fences that line this pleasant street and since traffic is practically nonexistent here this was a good place to set up a folding chair and have a smoke. Moon was free to chase whatever fauna happened by, all I wanted was bit of relief and to listen to the wind.
Settled into the chair I laid the camera down in the leaf litter beside me. Not finding any squirrels to harass Moon joined me. I imagined myself being in a Norman Rockwell painting. A few moments of bliss passed before I noticed that Moon had taken an interest in the camera. One clumsy paw must have connected with the go button, because Moon snapped this picture. He got a few others too, but doggy slobber on the lens made the shots unusable.
Occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
But above the grey land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic--their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose. Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to
fatten his practice in the borough of Queens, and then sank down himself into eternal blindness or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.
The valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul river, and when the drawbridge is up to let barges through, the passengers on waiting trains can stare at the dismal scene for as long as half an hour. There is always a halt there of at least a minute and it was because of this that I first met Tom Buchanan's mistress.

Alternate title: Love & Marriage
So I set out to get a shot of my wedding ring because lately, i've been thinking about how lucky I am to be married to such an amazing guy.
However, I got this shot (first try) & was so amazed at what the "magic light" did to my nonexistent bust size that I got thoroughly side-tracked!
The light should ALWAYS be this good EVERYWHERE!
NOT a bullseye mark, just an identification mark for RAF planes. Note that it is an earlier style with each ring of the same width. Later versions would make the white and yellow smaller (or nonexistent) to be harder to see at a distance. In the Pacific theater, the red was sometimes left off to prevent ground forces mistaking a plane for Japanese (the US Navy removed their pre-war red tail stripes because ground forces would shoot at anything with red on it).

The Hogwarts Express was easily the largest creation at this year's Carmel Sandcastle Contest, made by the group that did the Pirate's Galleon last year. They even built ramps below the tableau so you could see it from a bit more elevation. This morning's paper tells me that this creation won the coveted Golden Shovel, for best in show, for the second sequential win for the contestant, a software engineer from Silicon Valley.
A delightful surprise in this image is the bird, lower right, checking it out.
Taken from the string of my Fled Mk II kite. Wind on the ground was nonexistent, but starting by stretching out 100 feet of line on the ground, I was able to work it up to about 300 ft, where there was enough to lift my light autoKAP rig.

I didn't just want to throw the product of two hours labor into the park pond. Shirtless kids would rip it to shreds before my very eyes, searching for the (nonexistent) coin inside. I went to the riverside and got onto a random boat with other people.

Fred Weick had been the assistant chief of aeronautics design at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in the early 1930s, and as such had participated in testing a spin-resistant aircraft, dubbed the W-1. The one-off W-1 prototype had been built by NACA engineers in their spare time and at their own expense, and showed superb handling characteristics. Weick liked the design so much that he decided to go into business for himself; in 1936, he resigned from NACA and joined the Engineering and Research Corporation (ERCO) at College Park, Maryland.
Drawing on his experience with the W-1, Weick designed the ERCO 310 Ercoupe in 1937. The driving force behind the Ercoupe was a cheap aircraft--something necessary in the cash-strapped Depression years--but one that was also very safe and easy to fly. The endplate tail and low wing was a little unusual in a time dominated by single tail, high wing civil aircraft, but what made the Ercoupe truly unique was its lack of rudder pedals: the aircraft was flown entirely by the control wheel. This made the Ercoupe very easy to fly, and its design, with some basis in the W-1, was nearly impossible to spin. Finally, because the Ercoupe was made of aluminum, it was tougher than its fabric-covered competition.
The Ercoupe showed a lot of promise, but before it could become popular, the United States entered World War II. All aluminum was diverted to wartime production, and Ercoupes were instead built with wood. This made them remarkably quiet, and though production was almost nonexistent due to the war, a few ERCO 310s were used by the Civil Air Patrol to patrol the US East Coast for German U-boats--wooden 310s were so quiet, U-boat crews on the surface could not hear them until they were on top of the submarine. Unfortunately, the diminutive Ercoupe could not carry depth charges, so this early stealth ability was of limited use.
Once the war ended, ERCO swung back into production, and the Ercoupe proved the company's faith in the aircraft. At one point, the company was averaging 3500 aircraft a year, marketing them in mail-order catalogs and flying them to airshows, and the Ercoupe was one of the cheapest aircraft available. Unfortunately for ERCO, the market was also glutted postwar, and the Ercoupe could not compete against much larger companies, such as Cessna and Piper. ERCO went bankrupt in late 1946, and was bought out by Aeronca.
The Ercoupe was not gone, however. Over the next 30 years, seven companies would own the patent for it, and produce aircraft, ending with Mooney rolling out the last in 1970. Even today, spare parts remain plentiful.
As a rule, I usually don't photograph general aviation aircraft, but I have a friend who loves the Ercoupe, so I got this picture for him. This is a postwar ERCO 415C with an uprated engine; it was donated to Pima in 1990, but not placed on display until 2004.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the hottest, most exciting Volkswagen to hit American showrooms since the New Beetle!
The Volkswagen Eos is a 2+2 sports car with a retractable hardtop and seems to answer the need for a personal sport coupe in the VW lineup that had been nonexistent since the Karmann Ghia was discontinued in 1974. (The Scirocco wasn't exactly the same thing.) Named for the Greek goddess of the dawn, the Eos will certainly wake you up with its potent 2.0-liter turbo four and its six-speed manual transmission.
This lovely light blue Eos was parked on my street as I was going for a walk. I quickly turned home and got out my camera to photograph it.

Comasagua is located in southwestern El Salvador in the Balsamo coastal range between San Salvador and La Libertad departments. The Balsamo Range is a coffee producing area with 3,452 coffee farmers with 33,502 ha of coffee. These coffee-dominated watersheds on the south slopes of the Balsamo mountain range are the water sources and recharge areas for water sources for the towns and villages in the upper watershed plus numerous fast-growing tourist cities and towns in the coastal zone directly south of Comasagua, including the city of La Libertad. The high elevation coffee farms in Comasagua produce high quality coffee. Nevertheless, most farms have yields far below potential and investment continues to be limited. Coffee rust hit many of these farmers severely in 2012.
There has never been a significant water resource management program in this area; the water issues are serious and highly conflictive within these watersheds. Collaboration between municipalities, communities and coffee producers is considered weak to nonexistent.

In 1977, San Francisco-based artist Joe Rees founded Target Video. Target taped bands in its studio space, in clubs, at parties and on the streets of the world at a time when music television was nonexistent. With a vision and love for underground music and art, Target documented a truly explosive era, and in the process created a massive archive of punk rock performance footage that captured the scene in all its raw clumsiness and exuberance. Joe Rees and Target co-conspirator Jackie Sharp will be in-person at the Cinefamily to present a two-hour program drawing from the seemingly bottomless Target library, focusing this time on an L.A./So Cal-centric program featuring classic footage of local heroes (The Screamers, Black Flag, TSOL) alongside lesser-known-but-equally awesome acts (Nervous Gender, BPeople, The Plugz). This may be your one and only chance to ever see these clips, so this night is not to be missed! Part Time Punks DJ Michael Stock will be spinning records before and after the show!

Stopped by the "Store Closing" sale last weekend. This store was depressing even before Sears announced it was closing. It's only worse now.
The sale just began, so the discounts were still pretty weak on most everything, and almost nonexistent (10%) on things like appliances and tools. Don't bother....
