The Agonizing Last Words of Programmer Bill Zeller

The Agonizing Last Words of Programmer Bill Zeller

What a heart breaking description of pain. What a tragedy of hopelessness. What a description of isolation. The thing is, there was hope, and the hope had to be based on communication. Very sad, I wished somebody had been able to establish the trust to allow communication.

This is the web log to see things that I find interesting.

I am changing how I use my web logs. I have too many blogs to keep current so I am consolidating my blogs.
I will no longer update, on a regular basis, any of my other web logs. I will post to these web logs when I update web sites or have specific information that is relevant.

The Online Photographer: Calcutta

The Online Photographer: Calcutta

Calcutta (Kolkata) is the most amazing place I have ever been. I was overwhelmed. These are excellent photographs from Calcutta, what is interesting to me is how the perspective is very different from what fascinated me. The buildings, the signs, the technology, the context of all the activity, and the wonderful overwhelming chaos and energy was what mesmerized me. These photographs focus on the people.

Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog

Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog

I love black and white photography, most of our images of America, in the past, are black and white. These photographs show what are normally black and white images in color. The emotional affect is different, to me, at least initially, the impact is muted. In some cases the photographs are a Kodak moment that hides the economic reality of the times.

Vivian Maier - Her Discovered Work

Awesome and sort of scary, that a person's life work could be discovered by accident.

On A Leash

On A Leash

I love this posting, the descriptions of the inspiration for the photographs resonants with me. Beautiful photographs can really be boring to take and also look at. The student letters are both interesting and depressing.
