CLARENCE JOHN LAUGHLIN'S DESCRIPTIONS OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUPS

This is really interesting, I play with different ways to group my photography, subject, geography, time, intent, emotion, quality, etc. I have made lists like this, once I was going to create a database, a long time ago, and made lists of properties for my photographs. I need to try again to come up with different groups.

Clarence John Laughlin was one of my favorite photographers, I have a few of his books from many years ago. I need to explore his images again. I feel an affinity for what he is doing.

Photos Sear the Memory in a Way that Video Does Not | Black Star Rising

I have some cameras that shoot video, but I never use the video. Sometimes I think it takes a different frame of mind to shoot video. There are many excellent still photographers who have explored video, many of them seem to abandon the process.

If you use Flickr this is an amazing application. You can create many different predefined searches. Every once in awhile an application is a revelation and opens up completely new ways of viewing photographs. I love this application!!

This also applies to family or community still photographs. Time changes the meaning of the images, or videos, that we capture.

I try to think 30 years ahead when I take photographs. What will be important in 30 years? How we look at old photographs now will help in deciding what photographs to take now that will be valuable in 30 years.

Horrifying and desperate! When people lose faith in justice, or order, and are left with no recourse, but might, we can become pretty frightening.

I'm a Photographer, not a Terrorist

I have had to deal with crazy restrictions a few times, the worst was at the Tanana Valley Farmer's Margaret in Fairbanks. Some vendor was worried that I would steal her jewelry designs. It was like I invaded a family, even though it was a public event.

Here is a different, much more optimistic, analysis of China's housing inflation. The Alaska housing crisis in the eighties had little impact on the rest of the USA. Maybe the absurd Chinese real estate development, that I have posted about previously, will have little international impact.

These photographs make the earthquake experience real. Very intense. To me, still photographs have more power to describe then the video that I see on TV. Maybe it allows me time to feel, reflect, and feel again.

This is pretty scary, after watching the Alaska collapse in the eighties the Thailand collapse in the nineties, and the US collapse last year, I wonder about the China collapse.

Here is a good place to begin learning about the "revolution?" in Iran.

Iran, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook

I am amazed by the amount of information on the situation in Iran available on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. A year ago I used these tools when the airport in Bangkok was closed. I have ignored the communication tools since then, except for friendship and exploring my own interests.

Last night I watched the movie Hotel Rwanda. I wonder if people had used these new means of communication during the Rwanda massacre whether the world would have ignored the genocide?
