I have created three web sites based on walks that I took from Danby Street to Cushman Street including College Road, Illinois Street, Minnie Street, Johansen Expressway, and Old Steese Highway. I am trying to document an area that is changing quickly.

Multimedia of the Month: Is online ideal for images? | RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog
My inclination is to agree with this post, if the criteria for sharing photographs is for somebody to look at them, with thought and reflection, maybe the web does not do that. I know I tend to glance at, rather then look at photographs on the web. But if the goal of sharing on the web is to make your photographs available to be looked at, the web is amazing.
The dilemma is to turn awareness into observation. I am constantly buying photo books that I have discovered through the web. The web made me aware of the photographs, but the possibility of getting a book made me want to get the book to look at the photographs.

This is an experiment using Google Sites, a free web site tool and Picasa Web Albums. It is an alternative method to share my photographs that integrates with Blogger and my web sites. I can create a slide show for each of my Web Albums. I still have things to enhance, but I am impressed by the tools. Check it out.

Conflict in Pakistan - The Big Picture - Boston.com
I have seen a lot of news coverage on Pakistan, CNN International, PBS World Focus, and the other usual news sources, but none of them bring the experience to life like these still photographs! I wonder, more then wonder actually, whether still photography has a more lasting power to impact and educate then does video, or at least the video that we see through our standard news sources.

Look at these photographs, Chris Jordon is an amazing photographer. Here is a quote from the web site to inspire you to explore.
"Midway
Message from the Gyre
These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world's most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.

Explore these photographs, for me they evoke a strong, and sad, emotion. I just finished reading Factory Girls about the people who are migrating to, and working in, Chinese factories. These photographs enhance and deepen my understanding. Powerful!

Photography again, and an excellent editor, brings the abstraction of the news to life. In Alaska we live with the potential of earthquakes everyday, but I think we forget the potential for disaster we could experience in an earthquake.

I find I have similar reflections, especially when I mix in North Korean images. I have more of an affinity to spontaneity then order, but that might be my cultural assimilation of the value of individuality.

"Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy)
About a week ago, Typhoon Ketsana (known in the Phillippines as "Ondoy") made landfall, and according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Ketsana dropped 455 mm (17.9 in) of rain on Metro Manila in a span of 24 hours on Saturday - the most in 42 years. A month's worth of rainfall in a single day washed away homes and flooded large areas, stranding thousands on rooftops in the city and elsewhere. Ketsana later crossed over to Vietnam and Cambodia, where it is still active. Over 360 people are known to have been killed, and damage estimates are reaching $100 million. Unfortunately, another tropical storm may be headed toward the southern Philippines on Wednesday but is still 1,000 km (600 mi) off the coast. Here is a selection of photographs from the affected areas over the past week. (36 photos total)"

Scientific Karma? NOVA | Ghost in Your Genes | TV Program Description | PBS
NOVA | Ghost in Your Genes | TV Program Description | PBS
The program closes at the controversial cutting edge of this burgeoning new field. At the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, researchers are investigating epigenetic means to treat a deadly form of leukemia (see Epigenetic Therapy). In Washington State, a researcher finds that a toxin given to rats still affects their offspring four generations later, without producing any changes in their genes. And in Sweden, a study of historical records seems to show that the lifespan of grandchildren is affected by their grandparents' access to food.
Might these effects be epigenetic? Might our experiences, by changing our epigenomes, literally change the fate of our offspring ... and their offspring ... and theirs in turn? And might our own states of health owe something to the diets and exposures of our forebears?
Some researchers are already convinced. "You live your life as a sort of ... guardian of your genome," says Marcus Pembrey of the Institute of Child Health at University College London, a co-investigator in the Swedish study. "It seems to me you've got to be careful of it because it's not just you. You can't be selfish ... you can't say, 'Well, I'll smoke' or 'I'll do whatever it is because I'm prepared to die early.' You're also looking after it for your children and grandchildren...." Epigenetics, Pembrey says, "is changing the way we think about inheritance forever."Jake Versosa

These photographs express the intensity of India and its people. India, as an experience, is the most intense place that I have visited. I have been pre-occupied with reading about India and especially the Bihar area since I visited. I thought I would never want to return, but now I am not so sure.

I do street photography, at least some of the time, this discussion is humbling and valuable. The question of "Why" do I take the photographs that I do is one that I have spent my life thinking about. The idea of "Edit. Edit. Edit" is one of my winter goals. Just waiting for the snow, cold, and dark to begin. I am almost looking forward to it so I can concentrate on digesting all the photographs that I have taken this year.
