Zooomr, another fantastic photo sharing site, update is coming and while Kris is hard at work on launching the site, Thomas Hawk is manning the Ustream. Come on over you can watch in real time as Mark III makes it’s way to the surface.

Yesterday I went walking around downtown Rock Hill, SC with fellow Flickr-ite Doug (Mr. Guybrarian). This is the first time I met him, much less anyone from the Rock Hill Flickr Group. We had a pretty good time walking and talking…and I look forward to meeting others from the group.

I was feeling a little nostalgic the other day and as I was flipping through my photo album I decided to scan some in and post them. It was fun looking at them again, and checking out the detail as I was cleaning up the pictures (dust and scratches).
Update: Here is a link to the Set.

Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir (otherwise known as _rebekka), is one of the most popular photographers at Flickr, a single mom, and an art student. She does some very impressive self portaits and landscape photography. She recently found out that she had her images stolen and sold by Only-Dreemin, a British company, passing them off as being someone else’s images!

Being a single mom and all, she doesn’t have the funds to go after them to get the money that they made from her art which is sad. I hate to see someone getting taken advantage of like this.

Anyway, you can head over and get all the details from her write up and check the end. There is an email address where you can write them an angry email for stealing.

There is also a digg posted also.

I love always having the camera with me in my backpack. When there is an opportunity to snap a few, it is nice to have it there, as I had a few moments to walk around waiting for my sons Tee-Ball game.

More Earth Day stuff…Over the course of a couple of weekends, there were two festivals going on in celebration of The Earth! I am now about festival’d out. 😉

These were taken at the Museum of York County.

Seems like it never ends. 😉

This is from an old metal, rusting plow that sits beside Billy Graham’s (relocated) childhood home.

Hands and Clay Hosted on Zooomr

From our Earth Day outing. Surprisingly they had no recycling there, and served Lunch on paper plates. A little odd.

Attached to this post is an AAC Enhanced Podcast. You will need iTunes to view it right. For those of you that don’t know, an enhanced podcast is audio and pictures merged together for a slideshow of sorts. As you listen, iTunes will change the picture as the chapters change. (You will need to view the Album art pane to see it) This was an experiment, So check it out and let me know what you think.

Oh, I will do a write up on how to make this, complete with the php script that automates the process.

*Update* I noticed that playing it on the site makes it skewed some…Best if you download it and then play it in Quicktime or iTunes.

I am trying to get a couple of photographs into the JpgMagazine…This one voting ends on April 11th, and I screwed up. I had several people vote yes for it, but I (like an idiot) moved it from one category to another and erased my votes. So if you feel so inclined, please help me out here.

I also submitted another in the New theme “America” for the magazine that will be coming out later and has 60 days left to vote.
