Photography #160
It’s been a good while since I’ve done one of these posts.

Flickr Photos by Year/Month
I was looking around to see how many pictures I’ve been posting to Flickr since taking the new job at VCU. I had a feeling there was a dramatic increase but I was curious about actual numbers. After stumbling around the Internet for a bit attempting to do things the hard way, I stumbled on a URL from 2004 — https://www.flickr.com/photos/heather/archives/date-posted/2004/06/calendar/ It didn’t seem to be working but since the URL itself made sense, I just replaced heather with my flickr username and put in the current year/month to get https://www.flickr.com/photos/bionicteaching/archives/date-posted/2013/04/calendar/. Dingo!It feels right. Surely you aren’t going to argue that bingo really makes better sense somehow? So not only do I get the numbers I want, but I also get a calendar view of all the days I took pictures. I’m still far away from the D’Arcy/Alan shot a day stuff but that’s not really my style. I can now look and see that in three months at VCU, I’ve taken more shots than I have in entire years in the past. That doesn’t necessarily mean anything but I’m having fun and I have the mental energy and desire to do things like this in ways I hadn’t previously. Quantity isn’t the goal but lots of practice and lots of reflection ought to create some improvement.
WaW – Week 12 – Valentines, Ice, and Shadows
In what has become a tradition for the family, I work with each of the kids (3yo is not in the mix yet) to make their own Valentine’s Day cards for their class. It’s amusing and we end up with some interesting cards that represent their own unique ideas. It has been interesting to watch how their concepts and participation have evolved and my oldest (10) is now taking his own pictures and doing some Photoshop work on his own. We order the photos from Snapfish- giving us a class worth for about $3.00. Like making animated gifs, it seems to help turn on a lens of analysis long term and they think like this throughout the year. It’s not 3D printing, but the cycle from imagining something, creating it digitally, and then ending up with a physical product is there. cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Tom Woodward cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Tom Woodward cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Tom Woodward cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Tom Woodward cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Tom Woodward cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Tom Woodward cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr […]
