Continued from Part 1, now with the ten worst images that I posted to Flickr. There really isn’t a good reason for drawing attention to one’s failures, but again: it’s good to review where you’ve been, so that you know where you’re going.

Flickr Tenset for 2010, part 2
Monday, January 17th, 2011Flickr Tenset for 2010, part 1
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011It’s late for adding to Jim Goldstein’s ten best shots of 2010, but that won’t stop me from making one anyway. I’m not sure that these rate, anyway. Besides, reviewing images is a good east to see how far you’ve come, and gives you an idea as to where you’re heading.
So that being said, ten of my best images that were posted to Flickr. Criteria for this list: they had to mean something to me.
Real-life mermaids
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010When on the Big Island of Hawaii, I have always done boat diving with Jack’s Diving Locker. Just a small lead in to some cool pics: search for the “Mermaids in our pool” pics (the direct link may not work – dunno?).
People who know me, know how much I miss the islands – the water, the sun, the laid-back approach. Now I’m jealous – to have but a short opportunity to photograph with real mermaids.
Not gonna happen anytime soon, I’m afraid.
Photographs from a Women’s Prison
Sunday, August 1st, 2010
Women's Prison Gallery, partial Screenshot
I recently came across a fascinating online exhibition: Photography Workshop at Tirgsor Women’s Prison. Be warned: a few images are not safe for work (in the U.S. and other repressed areas). But by all means, if you don’t fear the human breast, check it out and think about the photos.
To me this hearkens back to one of the original purposes of photography: to show you (me) something different. At this, it succeeds: barring a catastrophic accident or psychosis, I am unlikely to be interred at a women’s prison – much less one in Romania. The imagery is eye-opening in that aspect.
Even more interesting to me: the images are not made by professionals. All images are made by women who are learning. And their work? Better than many professionals.
There are 95 images on the site, and each one made me stop and think.
Highly recommended.
