Picasa
Uuden läppärin ja siinä olevan Vista-käyttöjärjestelmän myötä palasin jälleen Picasa-käyttäjäksi pienen tauon jälkeen. Pidän Picasasta.
Photo project -> now +20 years later
Photo project gives voice to ‘backbone of America’ – CNN.com
- Story Highlights
- Peter Feldstein set out in 1984 to photograph everyone in Iowa town
- He then rephotographed them 20 years later and recorded their oral histories
- Feldstein’s colleague Stephen Bloom: “My job in Oxford was to talk to the voiceless”
- Resident: “There were things in there that the gossip line didn’t know about!”

“In actual fact you can use any camera to take sports photos, it’s just that some cameras do better than others.” VIA Sports Photography Guide
Halo Efekti lifestyle for the future
“In one hundred or a thousand years’ time, what we take for granted will be significant to someone trying to piece together how we lived our lives.
It’s possible that none of these things will exist at some point after we are long gone to tell others about them. But they are a part of our lives, and that is significant. So leaving behind a pictorial reference to them will help historians to see the world as we do. Just because it’s ordinary doesn’t mean to say that it can’t be beautiful.” VIA Photocritic
Pölytykselle hintalappu
Economic value of insect pollination worldwide estimated at 153 billion euros
“Jos mehiläinen häviää maapallolta, on ihmisellä vielä 4 vuotta elinaikaa. Kun ei ole mehiläisiä, ei ole enää pölyttäjiä, minkä jälkeen ei ole enää kasveja, eikä eläimiä, eikä liioin ihmistäkään.” – Albert Einstein
Tämä on ilmeisesti väärinkäsitys että Einstein olisi puhunut hyönteisistä, mutta joku muu viisas kuitenkin. Pölyttäjiä oli tänä kesänä keski-suomessakin paljon tavanomasita vähemmän.
Irakin miehitys
“An estimated two million Iraqis have forcibly fled their country to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon since the U.S. invasion in 2003. Two million more Iraqis are now internally displaced because of sectarian violence. See more photos from Jake Price.” VIA The Wall Street Journal 9.9.2008
