I didnt take part in the Daily Shoot challenge today as I took a telecommute day and stayed home as I am feeling pretty rough so posting another shot from Wai O Tapu Thermal park,
Have a good weekend everyone
My version of "telecommuting".
I shot this image with long glass (500mm) from Wilburn Ridge across to Pine Mountain and the Appalachian Trail as heavy clouds were blowing through. This lone dead tree kept grabbing my attention due to its symmetry as it came in and out of view with the varying cloud elevation.
Thank you for viewing.
One of the frequented ‘touristy’ spots in New York City is the original Macy’s at Herald Square the world’s biggest store. Why is it named Herald Square? Like a square a few blocks north (Times Square), it is named after a newspaper that once called this location home but is now defunct. The New York Herald traces its origins back to 1835 when James Gordon Bennett published the first edition of the New York Herald. By the year 1845 it was the most circulated and financially stable newspaper in world. In 1866 Bennett passed control of the New York Herald to his son James Gordon Bennett Jr. who continued to run the paper basically until his demise in 1918.
Under the auspices of James Gordon Bennett Jr. the paper continued to flourish and in 1894 the bold & beautiful New York Herald Building opened directly north of the square on West 35th Street. James Gordon Bennett Jr. was said to be obsessed with owls, in fact the New York Herald Building had owl statues lined on the east and west parapets of the New York Herald Building as well as a pair on the south facing entrance. It is rumored that he kept owls in his office at the New York Herald there in New York. James Jr. eventually relocated to Paris France and attempted to run the paper via telegram…wow perhaps the world’s first attempt at ‘telecommuting’? This was a failed experiment which according to historians began the New York Herald downward spiral into eventual oblivion. Several years after James death in 1918, the New York Herald was purchased and taken over by the smaller rival New York Tribune which launched the New York Herald Tribune basically marking the end. The New York Herald Building was torn down in 1921, but fortunately the publisher of the New York Sun William T. Dewart saved some of the edifice’s beautiful statuary & artifacts which he donated to NYU who in turn permanently loaned the works to the New York City Parks department.
In 1940 in the square south of the New York Herald Building’s former location was unveiled a 40 foot monument to both James Gordon Bennett Jr. and his father James Gordon Bennett which is what this picture is. The monument features rescued artifacts from the New York Herald Building, the bronze statue of Minerva with her faithful bronze blacksmiths Stuff and Guff who swing their hammers on the hour to ‘hit’ the bronze bell on top which resides what else, an owl. I have quotes around hit because the hammers don’t actually touch the bell, there are internal hammers that take of bell ringing. On the very top of the monument area clocks (one on the north face and the one in the image facing south) also from the New York Herald building that were located above the entrance below the brass statues. There’s actually an owl on the west and north side (left and right in the image) of the monument whose eyes light up an eerie green at night, alluding the James Jr.’s obsession which are obviously not visible in this image. The monument was carefully restored in 1989 and then again in 2007. In 2007 the mechanical workings had deteriorated to the point that one of the blacksmiths was actually hitting the bell. Major repairs were made fixing the worn mechanisms and they were back in business. The synchronization of the bell rings and the beautiful clock above it are maintained by New York City’s Clock Master Marvin Schneider. Part of the inscription pays tribute to both Bennetts:

I think it's safe to do these lonely adventures these days. Everything is somehow weird now and I'm telecommuting from home without seeing my colleagues.
some days I envy people who get to drive/walk/ride to work.
some days I feel like the luckiest guy alive to be able to work with my family around me.
today is one of those days :)
COP28 made no progress toward eliminating the use of natural gas and petroleum. Empty platitudes which will almost certainly be broken. It is essentially a suicide note. At the last moment to prevent catastrophe the oil producing nations were placated. United States climate envoy John Kerry called it "a charade." What do you expect when the conference was held in Dubai?

(AP) "The text does not speak specifically to fossil fuel phaseout and mitigation in a way that is in fact 'the step change that is needed'," said the alliance, known by its acronym AOSIS, which represents countries that are disproportionately vulnerable to climate effects including sea level rise."

Walk, ride a bike or an ebike, take the bus, the train, gets an electric vehicle, telecommute, but whatever you do STOP BUYING GAS! It's killing us. They're going to keep pumping it as long as you're burning it.

Today is my last day working at Yahoo, my employer for the last 8 years! Yahoo has been a great place to work, and allowed me to telecommute from Hawaii for the last four years. So, mahalo to Yahoo and all the great people I've worked with there!

on the bright side, i got a lot of laundry done between Zoom meetings.
Advancing Gender Parity for Professional Women
Sunday Evening Post, Vol.3, No.6a
Working from home allows workers the choice when to inform colleagues about their pregnancy, avoiding seemingly innocent yet unwelcome behaviors, and missed career opportunities.
This was taken at Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio. I shot this location earlier this year, but I got the chance to return to the spot last week, this time equipped with my tripod AND a much wider-angle camera/lens setup. This is a two-shot vertorama. I took two landscape oriented shots and stitched them together. I'm really pleased with the way this turned out. It's much better than any of the shots I got the first time around. I have another (slightly different) version of this shot at 500px (link), but this is the version I'm happiest with.
I think these past 10 days may be the single longest period I've gone in the past year without uploading something to Flickr (which also means I wasn't commenting much on other people's postings...sorry). It turns out that processing photos is a bit of a solitary task for me, and I don't really like to do it with distractions or time limits in the mix. So being on vacation while at the same time trying to spend time with family AND telecommute to work really meant no processing. I did get to do a lot of shooting, though. Apparently my environmental requirements for that are much lower :)
I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a great one, and that you aren't going TOO crazy with holiday gift shopping. Remember that it's more about the thought and gesture of giving than the gift itself. I try to remember that in order to stay sane because it's more in line with the holiday spirit than -- for instance -- stabbing someone at Wal-Mart on Black Friday :)

This gentleman is my neighbor and willing tour guide here in the Hudson Valley. A husband and father of 10 children. As a empty nester he likes to telecommute during the summers while his wife teaches at a near by summer camp. His favorite hobbies is getting out on his road bike and exploring the area, just not while it's raining.

Okay, so I know we could all be better, I am sure I do a million things every day that are messing up our planet. We are all guilty, and often little changes in our daily routines is all it takes to lessen your impact on the Earth. Here is a little list of things I found online of easy ways to go green.
29/365
#1
Save energy to save money.
* Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
* Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out.
* Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts energy use.
* Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water.
* Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying. If you must use a dryer, consider adding dryer balls to cut drying time.
#2
Save water to save money.
* Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
* Install a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your investment.
* Make sure you have a faucet aerator on each faucet. These inexpensive appliances conserve heat and water, while keeping water pressure high.
* Plant drought-tolerant native plants in your garden. Many plants need minimal watering. Find out which occur naturally in your area.
#3
Less gas = more money (and better health!).
* Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing your risk of obesity.
* Consider telecommuting if you live far from your work. Or move closer. Even if this means paying more rent, it could save you money in the long term.
* Lobby your local government to increase spending on sidewalks and bike lanes. With little cost, these improvements can pay huge dividends in bettering your health and reducing traffic.
#4
Eat smart.
* If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store-and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
* Buy locally raised, humane, and organic meat, eggs, and dairy whenever you can. Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
* Watch videos about why local food and sustainable seafood are so great.
* Whatever your diet, eat low on the food chain]. This is especially true for seafood.
#5
Skip the bottled water.
* Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it generates large amounts of container waste.
* Bring a reusable water bottle, preferably aluminum rather than plastic, with you when traveling or at work.
#6
Think before you buy.
* Go online to find new or gently used secondhand products. Whether you've just moved or are looking to redecorate, consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track down furniture, appliances, and other items cheaply or for free.
* Check out garage sales, thrift stores, and consignment shops for clothing and other everyday items.
* When making purchases, make sure you know what's Good Stufft; and what isn't.
* Watch a video about what happens when you buy things. Your purchases have a real impact, for better or worse.
#7
Borrow instead of buying.
* Borrow from libraries instead of buying personal books and movies. This saves money, not to mention the ink and paper that goes into printing new books.
* Share power tools and other appliances. Get to know your neighbors while cutting down on the number of things cluttering your closet or garage.
#8
Buy smart.
* Buy in bulk. Purchasing food from bulk bins can save money and packaging.
* Wear clothes that don't need to be dry-cleaned. This saves money and cuts down on toxic chemical use.
* Invest in high-quality, long-lasting products. You might pay more now, but you'll be happy when you don't have to replace items as frequently (and this means less waste!).
#9
Keep electronics out of the trash.
* Keep your cell phones, computers, and other electronics as long as possible.
* Donate or recycle them responsibly when the time comes. E-waste contains mercury and other toxics and is a growing environmental problem.
* Recycle your cell phone.
* Ask your local government to set up an electronics recycling and hazardous waste collection event.
#10
Make your own cleaning supplies.
* The big secret: you can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning products whenever you need them. All you need are a few simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon, and soap.
* Making your own cleaning products saves money, time, and packaging-not to mention your indoor air quality.

Advancing Gender Parity for Professional Women
Sunday Evening Post, Vol.3, No.6b
Working from home allows workers the choice when to inform colleagues about their pregnancy, avoiding seemingly innocent yet unwelcome behaviors, and missed career opportunities.
For the past 3 months, we were put onto a rotation in which about 25% of the staff would come into the office for a full week followed by three weeks of working at home.
This is the home set-up I had. On the display is a typical screen for MicroSoft Teams. One could choose to have a live view of oneself for others to see, utilizing the user-facing camera in the computer. No one in our group does that. Some only go so far as a profile picture. Most simply let their initials represent them.
Working this way was akin to driving a car that topped out at 15 mph and having to stop at every intersection.

Three days a week my husband drives over 40 minutes each way to get to work (he's a web developer). Two days a week he sets up shop in our dining room, right in the middle of our crafts projects, dust bunnies, and general clutter. I love having him home -- I am happier when he is around.
Explore! Thank you!
My home office more like a corner office with a great view of the West End here in Vancouver.
From my chair I can see Stanley Park, Cypress Mountain, Grouse Mountain and parts of English Bay.
Today is a cloudy/raining/thundery day so I thought I would try and do a 3 exposure HDR of my setup.
Looks a bit over processed but my settings are the same as my other HDR photos I take. Guess the lighting plays a factor in HDR too.
3 Exposure processed/tone mapped in Photomatix. Light, Curves and Saturation adjusted in Photoshop. Resized to a max of 1024px wide.
Amanda S. has been a neighbor of mine for the last couple of years. Like me, she also works from home and I often see her enjoying the sun, relaxing in her front porch chair while telecommuting on a conference call. Pretty good life, eh?
I think the long, cold winter took its toll on her. When she approached me requesting pictures, she said she wanted pictures to represent springtime. When she suggested the idea of listening to a record player in a field, the task of finding a location fell under my responsibility.
I finally settled on the big, yellow field that can be found on the way from Cookeville to Baxter. After a phone call to the field's owner - and acquiring permission - we were off and shooting.
This was my favorite image from the shoot. It had the right balance of pose, facial expression and composition (I love that you can see the huge expanse of yellow flowers). Unfortunately, some of the plants are blocking the record player, so it is not as discernable as I would have liked. But overall, this image worked for me.

There is still a ton of local resentment against a modern art museum in one of the most out-of-the-way rural corners of rust-belt New England. Back in the late 90's when it was opened, residents of Adams & North Adams were rightly suspicious and expressed prescient concern about affluent Williams College alums starting this thing, the gentrification that might ensue, and precisely who would reap the local economic benefit of an art museum that catered predominantly to cultural elites in New York and Boston on their way up to their vacation homes in Vermont. Nearly 2 decades later, there's bustling upscale businesses within the museum complex- it's doubling its exhibition space, too... but there are precious few jobs in town (all the ones at MassMOCA go to Williams college and MCLA interns, graduates, or people from afar), its hospital closed (one of the few that served the region. Closest small one is now 40 minutes away. Closest large one over an hour in any direction), and there are still boarded up storefronts on the main drag. To say the housing market is depressed is an understatement... if you want a ridiculously cheap house (with a lot of work), this is your town. But unless you're telecommuting you got yourself at least 3 hours in your car every day.
And yet, damn, the place is gorgeous... appeals to my city-bred youth, and, sometimes, has some f*cking amazing art.
I was somewhat surprised to see this guy leaning against a bicycle stand, propping up his laptop in the bright afternoon sunlight. What could he be doing here, on the east side of Broadway between 80th and 81st Street?
I suppose I could have asked him, but he looked pretty focused on what he was doing ... so I looked around for an explanation. Aha, yes, there it was, right behind me: one of the many Starbucks coffeeshops in the neighborhood. Starbucks has a publicly-accessible Wifi network, which most people use indoors (that's the whole point, obviously: you go inside, buy yourself a ridiculously expensive latte, and then sit there and sip it while you surf the Web). But this guy had figured out that he could access the signal from outside, and was probably too cheap to go indoors and pay for a cup of coffee.
I'm sad to report that his laptop was a Dell computer, rather than a classy Mac Powerbook that I would have preferred to see ...

**********************
This is part of an evolving photo-project, which will probably continue throughout the summer of 2008, and perhaps beyond: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
For the most part, I've deliberately avoided photographing bums, drunks, drunks, and crazy people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, *far* more people who are *not* so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.
Stretchy structure
Weren’t knit blazers super popular like 10 years ago? Telecommuting seems like the perfect opportunity to bring them back.
While I love a good blazer, there is NO WAY I’m wearing one to work from home. This knit blazer is a good compromise. It’s as warm and comfortable as a sweater, but looks a bit more structured.
Blazer, Matty M (thrifted). Tunic, Love Squared (thrifted). Leggings, We Love Colors. Legwarmers, Sock Dreams. Boots, Blondo. Sunglasses, Target. Gloves, gift.

So glad I was telecommuting and visiting Drs today, if not I could have been on the train that was in an accident today on the Metro North Line, one train derailed and hit one other train, about 49 people injured last time I looked, I wish all involved a quick recovery.
Glad instead of being on the train at the time it happenned I was out for a short walk and taking some shots including this one, of some of the boats at Lisman Landing Marina for SailQuest
I am quite confident if Powerball is won tonight it won't be me,I have been so lucky at various times over the years to avoid plane and now train accidents that I am more than happy for my luck to be used for this situations and not Lotto :)
