In lieu of posting one of the many threads that are running around in my brain, I am taking the easy way out and posting another photo that I pushed onto flickr. This is an old shot, taken from the passenger seat of Shaju’s car while driving around somewhere in Alberta. It happened to cross my radar as I was rebuilding my photo database¹ and thought that I could get some interesting colour/texture out of the clouds. I kinda remember taking the picture, but I only really have the details embedded in the EXIF data. Metadata to the rescue!

¹ f-spot decided to eat its database for some reason. This happened to also highlight some timestamp problems that have been bubbling below the surface. I may get around to writing about it. Maybe.

As promised about a week ago, here is one of my photos from the holidays.

I’ll probably do this more often as my photo productivity increases. Pictures will link back to my Flickr account, so feel free to have a look around.

I’m not one to be superstitious, but I couldn’t help taking a picture of this one. Love is in the air, apparently. Or, at least, love is in the grape.

Found via a CBC feature: Daily Dose of Imagery.

It seemed odd to have an hour or so of actual free time last night, so I went trolling though my photo collection. I put a couple more of them up onto my Flickr account, but I also removed all of the pictures I had taken at the pro beach volleyball tournament at the end of January. The pictures were almost entirely crap—too far away, and poor action shots. I’ve still got my copies, but they’re not public at the moment.

I have a loose plan of what I’d like to do with my pictures, and just need the time to get things in place. I’ll continue to use Flickr to store some of the pictures that I’m at least somewhat proud of. In addition to that, I’ll set up a gallery somewhere on this server to host the whole lot. I’d hope to have a link set up between the two, or some way to tag the set which are in both places.

Further down the line, I think I’d like to strap together a calendar that lists entries for blog posts (by date posted), photos (by date taken) and events. It probably wouldn’t be all that difficult to do. The pycalendar module for pyblosxom does this for regular blog entries. Of course, finding the time for this is the hardest part. Expect something near 2008.

Thanks for the note, Marc. I don’t think I’m a good photographer, by any stretch of the imagination, but I am a sucker for compliments. Besides, I think you’ve far outdone anything I’ve done.
