“Walnuts have a shell, and they have a kernel. Religions are the same. They have an essence, but then they have a protective coating. This is not the only way to put it. But it’s my way. So the kernels are the same. However, the shells are different.” ~ Huston Smith

 

Huston Cummings Smith (May 31, 1919 – December 30, 2016) was an influential scholar of religious studies in the United States. He authored at least thirteen books on world's religions and philosophy.

Im Dezember letzten Jahres habe ich mit der Serie "Phaeno Study" begonnen - und ich habe immer noch einiges davon auf der Platte. Heute gibt es einmal kein Langzeitbelichtungsfoto, sondern eine "normale Aufnahme". Ich hoffe, es gefällt trotzdem!

Sleep Study, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, April 27, 2023

Sleep Study was not as restful as I had hoped it would be. Just before I attempted to go to sleep, I took this picture from the window.

One of our daily visitors. A nice subject for a Study.

Art Class Study material explored.

An Art Class Study presented

by Matthew D. Hughes

Leslie Powell Foundation Art Gallery

Three surfaces - dark, mid and pale - under the same beam.

The dark surface swallows the light, the mid-toned keeps it in balance and the pale one returns it almost entirely, making it clear that the journey of light is shaped by the shades it meets.

Hello my dear friends :)

I wanted to share this work with you.... unfortunatly i didn´t draw too much this year (btw, one of the oddest years of my life) but still wanted to be present .

In honor of MLK today, a study on all the colors in my palette and the beauty each one presents. <3

You probably thought what I did: If I post to an award group that requires 3 awards, then I should expect 3 awards, on average. Obviously, any given photo will get more or less, but you figure on average you should get as much as you give, right? WRONG!!

 

I’ve done a systematic study of how many awards the different award groups give out, and the bottom line is this: The half of Flickrites who do actually give out rewards get nothing in return from the other half of the Flickrites who post and run.

 

If you’re posting and running, shame on you. If you’re posting and being honest, then you should check out the list below to see which award groups are best and worst.

 

Details of the study are below; I welcome any data that the group admins wish to share, or from anyone would like to validate these findings. I realize my sample is small and would like to get more data...

-----------

Purpose: Do you get as many rewards as you give in Flickr award groups?

 

Method: Sample 20 Flickr award groups. Go to page 24 and count the number of awards given to the first 12 pictures; this is deep enough in the pool that awards have stopped, but not so deep that many images have been pulled. I validated a sample of 12 was sufficient.

 

Result: From a total sample of 240 images posted to award groups, you get 59% of the awards you give out, or roughly you have to give two awards in order to get one. There is huge variation amongst the groups, as you’ll see in table below.

 

Discussion: At a practical level, it appears that there are two things that contribute to a higher percentage of reciprocity. First, group cohesion makes a difference—for example Shining Star has a relatively higher percentage because many of the members are contacts with each other. Second, a mechanical pool sweeper, if properly used, makes a HUGE difference, e.g. Global Village 2 and Flickr Hearts. The results also show that there are lots of Flickrites who don’t play by the rules. In the case of group awards, without a pool sweeper there is absolutely no penalty for posting and running because there’s no way to get caught.

 

Group averages… For example, A+++ has 70%, meaning that for every A+++ award you give, you get 0.7 back… Some of the averages are above 100% because of sampling error, and because of multiple invites.
