IF YOU see a person's silhouette running along a flat hill, that's good, it probably says that you have imagination enough to see possible sources of danger while heading out by yourself. You might also like to know that according to most statistics, running is a relatively safe pursuit (Run the Planet, 2012). As such, STAY VIGILANT, NOT PARANOID.

My secondary intention was to warn women runners against running alone at night, but it took me two Google search results to realise how such a message, besides being sexist, simply perpetuates victim blaming, which was not what I was going for.
As for my original intention... I was just shooting some lovely vegetables my dad had bought for today's lunch. You might have realise that the foreground is carrot and the background is a cucumber (less obvious). The little tendril that suggests the form of a runner = part of carrot skin. The orangey-red of the copy "STAY VIGILANT" is the actual colour of the underexposed side of the carrot. Edits only for colours/contrast/copy.

La marca ya se logró hace unos días. Entonces, ya escribí unas reflexiones (eduardoariasrabanos.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/3000-fotos-ba...) sobre lo que este hecho me suscitaba. Sospecho que el texto quedó muy poco melancólico, sí muy pesimista y aquejado de un realismo incompleto, si no inexacto.
Si bien se mira, da igual que sean 3.000, 5.000 o un millón. Es lo mismo. Son muchas. Y son muchas porque uno ha invertido mucho tiempo y mucho trabajo en que dichas imágenes estén ahí. También mucho dinero, porque los viajes no salen gratis, pero ésa es otra historia. Hablamos de mucho. Hablamos de cantidad. Lo que festeja esta entrada es una cantidad. Pero, ¿y la calidad? Para la calidad no hay parámetros tan exactos. Sí, en cambio, algunos indicadores. Pero un artista, incluso los más pagados de sí mismos, albergan dudas e inseguridades sobre la naturaleza, la calidad de cuanto sale de ellos. A mayores, en un medio como éste el gusto o la satisfacción (como en otras redes sociales) se mide a golpe de comentario, o de inclusión en una carpeta de favoritas, o tan sólo por la estadística que cada visita genera, a nivel global o a nivel individual de cada fotografía. Pero el gusto o la satisfacción o la recurrencia hacia el sitio, tampoco certifican la calidad. La soledad del creador en ese punto es abrumadora. Aunque a mí sólo me abruma muy de cuando en vez.
Si, siendo extremadamente generosos, me introdujera a mí mismo una buena dosis de autoindulgencia, y decidiera que el 1 % de mis fotos son realmente extraordinarias, saldrían 30. ¿Tiene Henri Cartier-Bresson 30 obras maestras? ¿Las tiene Capa? ¿Ansel Adams llegó a esa cifra? ¿Tiene Annie Leibovitz tal cantidad de retratos excelentes? Vamos a suponer que sí, lo cual en algún caso sería mucho imaginar. (Lo cierto es que yo, por haber concebido y logrado 30 imágenes imperecederas, ¿quién sabe lo que daría?). Pero estamos hablando de dioses de la fotografía. Y yo ni soy una dios, ni llego siquiera a mensajero o copero de las divinidades del Olimpo. ¿Entonces?
Tal vez el problema sea definir qué es una foto buena, cuál una obra maestra, por qué una imagen resulta prescindible, pese a su agradable visionado, o cuáles son los rasgos por los que algunas fotografías, una vez vistas, no se olvidan jamás. Vamos, el problema de cualquier disciplina artística. Y eso sí que es un problema.
De modo que el análisis se cierra por insoluble. Yo me quedo con lo que pienso de mis fotos. Quienes me visitáis tenéis vuestras opiniones. Y lo único objetivo del asunto es que tengo algo más de 3.000 fotografías de difusión pública, algunos cientos de miles en las bodegas de mis discos duros, y muchas ganas de seguir colgando dos fotos diarias, cuatro cuando se puede, y si no se cuelga ninguna, tampoco pasa nada. La vida sigue. Y hay más vida además de la fotografía.
Un saludo agradecido a todos quienes me visitáis, comentáis, criticáis, valoráis.

A billboard seen on the Massachusetts Turnpike near Fenway Park, with some sobering statistics on gun violence and their effect on children.
While the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes bearing of arms as a basic right of citizens, continuing viability of gun ownership is heavily dependent on the responsible use of the rights.
With more and more political extremists hanging everything on the Second Amendment (too often at the expense of other constitutional rights and guarantees) and even calling for "Second Amendment Remedies" against a democratically elected President simply because he is "foreign born and Muslim" (he is neither, sorry), gun violence is becoming more and more real and out of control.
The 2010 midterm elections, which installed many Tea Party types into various positions of power nationwide, led the way to the weakening of even common-sense regulations on guns. In some parts of the US, it is now legal to carry a loaded gun into a bar, get drunk, and start shooting away. Because, after all, any attempts to control that would simply be another attempt by the "Kenyan-born Muslim socialist" to destroy American freedoms, or so say the Tea Partiers.
.In summary, talking about the perpetrators based on the data from our sample: more than 80 percent of them are not of the main nationality in Russia, their level of intelligence is on average lower than that of the T.I.s, they have health problems from birth, they don’t like sports and don’t have other hobbies, they are not married, they don’t have children in the most productive periods of their lives, they on average quite risk averse in comparison to T.I.s, they avoid working for a certain sub-industry of the military-industrial complex, and patriotism is, probably, no their favorite word. If Russia, as some ‘scientists’ put it,is a “natural laboratory or a natural experiment”, then these results can be and will be generalizable to other countries too.
The results presented here are not the revelations of the last days, but it would be interesting to see the ‘hit-rate’, the number of correctly guessed cases when the perpetrators and those who are behind all of this, open their archives.

The Peak Tramway (Chinese: 山頂纜車) is a funicular railway in Hong Kong, which carries both tourists and residents to the upper levels of Hong Kong Island. Running from Garden Road Admiralty to Victoria Peak via the Mid-Levels, it provides the most direct route and offers good views over the harbour and skyscrapers of Hong Kong.
The Peak Tram is owned and operated by Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels (HSH), the owner of Hong Kong's famous Peninsula Hotel along with many other properties. The line, along with HSH's Peak Tower leisure complex at the line's summit, is promoted using the brand The Peak.
ROUTE
The Peak Tram's route from Central district to Victoria Peak covers a distance of about 1.4 kilometres and an elevation of just under 400 metres. The line has two pronounced curves, one to the left immediately after leaving the lower terminus, and the other to the right in the upper half of the ascent. The gradient also varies considerably throughout the ascent. It is a single track route and a passing loop, with two trams.The lower terminus station, Garden Road, is located on Garden Road near St. John's Cathedral. The original station was incorporated into St. John's Building, an office tower, with the tram terminus at the ground level. The station comprises a single track, with platforms on both sides. One platform is used for boarding, the other for exiting the tram.
The upper terminus, The Peak is located below the Peak Tower shopping and leisure complex at Victoria Gap, some 150 metres below the summit of Victoria Peak. The station has the same arrangement of boarding and alighting platforms as the lower terminus. The haulage and control equipment for the funicular is located in a basement below the station.
There are also four intermediate stations, each of which is a request stop consists of a single stepped platform and a shelter:
Kennedy Road. Located on Kennedy Road, named after Sir Arthur Edward Kennedy, a former Governor of Hong Kong.
MacDonnell Road. Located on MacDonnell Road, named after Sir Richard MacDonnell, a former Governor of Hong Kong; depot located here and storage of historic car
May Road. Located on May Road, named after Sir Francis Henry May, a former Governor of Hong Kong.
Barker Road. Located on Barker Road, named after General George Digby Barker, a former military commander and acting administrator of Hong Kong.
HISTORY
In 1881 Alexander Findlay Smith first put the project of a Peak Railway into shape and presented a petition for a concession to the governor of Hong Kong. The necessary legislation was passed two years later.
After its opening to 1926, the Peak Tram divided into three classes:
First Class: British colonial officials and residents of Victoria Peak
Second Class: British military and the Hong Kong Police Force personnel
Third Class: Other people and animals
Round trip charges were HKD 45 cents (First Class), 30 cents (Second Class) and 15 cents (Third Class).
In the 1908-1949 period, first row seats are reserved for the governor of Hong Kong, behind displaying "This seat reservation to His Excellency the Governor" (reserved for the governor of Hong Kong) in bronze plaque.
Mr. Findlay Smith did not approach the project rashly. Travelling extensively in Europe and America, he made himself conversant with nearly every existing method of railway employed for mountain ascent - San Francisco, Scarborough, Rigi, Monterey, Lucerne, the Rhine, Mount Vesuvius - and returned to Hong Kong thoroughly convinced of the feasibility of his idea. The actual construction was begun in September 1885 and in May 1888 the line was officially opened.
Smith's business partner, N. J. Ede, owned and lived in the house next to the Upper Terminus, originally named Dunheved, which they converted into the original Peak Hotel.
It took three years to build the Peak Tram. Most of the heavy equipment and rails needed for the construction was hauled uphill by the workers, who had no mechanical support. As a revolutionary new form of transport to Asia at the time, the tramway was considered a marvel in engineering upon its completion. A wooden structure was built for the terminal. According to photographs, the Garden Road terminus was originally an unadorned building, a large clock face was added to the edifice probably between the 1910s and 1920s.
The Peak Tram was opened for public service on 28 May 1888 by the then governor Sir George William des Voeux. As built, the line used a static steam engine to power the haulage cable. It was at first used only for residents of Victoria Peak, although despite this it carried 800 passengers on its first day of operation, and about 150,000 in its first year. These passengers were carried in the line's wooden bodied cars. Its existence accelerated the residential development of Victoria Peak and the Mid Levels.
In the course of its history, the tram has been victim of two natural disasters, caused by floods from heavy rainfall, which washed away steep sections of the track between Bowen Road and Kennedy Road. The first was in 1899, and the second occurred on 12 June 1966.
In 1926, the steam engine was replaced by an electric motor. On 11 December 1941, during the Battle of Hong Kong, the engine room was damaged in an attack. Service was not resumed until 25 December 1945, after the end of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.
In 1956, the Peak Tram was equipped with a new generation of lightweight metal bodied cars, each of which seated 62-seat passengers. Unusually for a funicular line, three such cars were provided, only two of which were in use at any one time. The third spare car was kept in a car shed near Kennedy Road station.
The system was comprehensively rebuilt in 1989 by the Swiss company, Von Roll, with new track, a computerized control system and two new two-car trams with a capacity of 120 passengers per tram. By the time of the handover in 1997, it carried some 2 million passengers annually. Today, more than 4 million people ride the Peak Tram annually, or an average of over 11,000 every day.

No. 1KUGARD ROAD
The building at No. 1 Lugard Road, located next to the Peak Tower and The Peak Lookout, was built about 1927 by The Peak Tramways Co. Ltd. as a workshop, with an additional floor added in 1953 to provide a flat for the General Manager of Company. The building is still owned and used by the Peak Tramways Company. It is a Grade III historic building since 2010.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), in partnership with GWU hosts the Local Food Impacts Conference. Congressionally authorized grant and loan programs to support local food systems have expanded in recent years. Quantifying and evaluating the impacts of these programs is critical. Attendees can explore how to best measure the impacts of local food investments, improve coordination across USDA agencies, and evaluate the extent to which disparate local food investments are complementary and reinforcing. Beyond metrics, this conference provides an opportunity to share local food stories with new stakeholders. For more information, please see localfoodsimpact.org/. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
