Ja, ja, der Steinmeier hat den Stein der Weisen gefunden: „Wenn ein demokratisch gefestigtes Land wie Deutschland sich nicht mehr in der Lage sieht, internationale Gäste einzuladen, Konferenzen wie diese auszurichten, dann gerät mehr in Gefahr als nur eine einzelne Konferenz. Dann überlassen wir im Grunde genommen die Entscheidung und die Auswahl, was hier in Deutschland stattfindet, einigen wenigen brutalen Gewalttätern.“ Es gehöre auch demokratisches Selbstbewusstsein dazu, „dass wir sagen:…

Just about at the end of my first year of a two year club subscription on Ipernity. I am glad I made the move over after two years on the other side and have thoroughly enjoyed the many images seen and contacts made here over the last twelve months, thanks to all for your generosity in sharing.

UPDATE 22nd April William Sutherland Good evening, 22 April 2017: Three days ago Christophe, President and CEO of Ipernity S.A. sent notification that he accepted IMA's proposal and stated readiness to give IMA access codes to the team account, support tools, and moderation tools as well as posting an announcement of his acceptance. By the next day, he had changed his mind. I was hoping Christophe would have reconsidered by now so I could avoid making this announcement. Since h…

Doll (2013) Prior to the early 20th century, garbage was not considered photographic art. In fact it was not considered to be art at all. Consequently, if it appeared in photographs, it was accidental or unavoidable such in pictures documenting poverty and social issues (e.g. sanitation strikes, health hazards). A prominent 19th century photographer that included garbage in his photos while advocating for the poor was Jacob Riis (1849-1914) when he documented the lives of New York City’s…

You are the city of my birth. In the 70's I lived and worked in London.. and was involved albeit on the edge of the IRA bombings. I know what that fear is. I was born just 10 miles from Marble Arch.... so the West End and Central London were my "home ground". I just have these words.... Atrocity doesnt define who you are . It gives you the chance to show the world just who you CAN be as the reverse sentiment. Don't be the victim... be the educator Unless we educate and assist a…

Hello, I'm sad to announce that we have a possible fraud artist in the donation of IMA crowdfunding for ipernity. It means that rather than almost 21k, we are at almost 18k which is still a great number in such a few day. IMA contacted Indigogo (who owns Generosity) to investigate the question. It doesn't mean that giving through Generosity isn't safe, simply that somebody stole credit card numbers somewhere and are using it to make donation for odd reasons. Please continue to par…

Well, what I (alas) figured would happen is happening--Ip is closing. Clint made a back-of-the-envelope financial analysis a while back that seemed to be right on--as it was. I still think Ipernity thoroughly botched a great opportunity. They had a chance to grow and achieve financial stability at the time of the massive Flickr exodus, but instead of rolling out a (figurative) red carpet they instead got all sidetracked into the silliness about "spam" comments, with the result that they drove…

I just received a a-mail from flickr stating that my flickr pro account is due to expire and that it would renew automatically. This is complete nonsense, as I cancelled my flickr pro account in 2013 - but I went to my settings there and yes, my plan was active and renewing automatically. The money is charged automatically too. It seems they have changed something (again) and it's messed up the system... So if your flickr account is still up and you ever had a pro account but do not wish to pay…

The Whole Dam Family Comic depictions of "The Whole Dam Family" with their humorous--yet somewhat scandalous--names were wildly popular subjects for postcards in 1905. The "Whole Dam Family" postcard craze influenced other media, and the Dams also showed up in silent films , vaudeville sketches, printed advertisements, wax cylinder recordings , 78-rpm records , and sheet music . The Whole Dam Family on Their Vacation The "Whole Dam Family" postcard craze was in fu…

I know lots of my friends and contacts also like to wander around the back roads of the American west, and a couple of years ago I found a resource that may be of interest. The US Geological Survey has put all(!) of their topographic maps online, available for free download as .pdf files. Here's the main URL: store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/b2c/start/%28xcm=r3standardpitrex_prd%29/.do Click on the "map locater" in the upper left corner. They've included, not just all versions of the current map s…
