Someone has taken time collecting pictures of Anthropomorphic Cannibalism at Flickr, which is essentially ads for food, showing the subject of the food, eating itself. Really funny when you think about it, but it took this pool of pics to really make me see it.
Pretty cool, but anytime you look at ads too closely you’ll find disturbing things – I really long for a place without the constant distractions of ads thrown in your face, and no, me having ads on my site does not play into that…
Here’s a cool idea, shoot pictures through some old Blublocker sunglasses and you get Blublocker photography! While I’ve shot through different lenses before I never thought of aiming through sunglasses, but it makes sense, it’s just another filter. Judging by the shots he’s posted on flickr, it gives things an almost otherworldly Mars-like appearance. Cool effect, I’d like to see this done in a low light enviroment to see what really stands out.
I’ve gotten my pictures online from my San Francisco trip. The city was everything I always hoped it would be, and I really loved it there. I had the opportunity to meet with diverse people that all intersect with various aspects of my job (now being refered to as my career). From The Moore Foundation (the most amazing workspace I’ve ever seen) that provide us grant money to do our research to other non-profits partners like Internet Archive, The Smithsonian, Califonia Academy of Science, Public Library of Science to some of the folks that run the servers and dream up new ideas at Flickr (they use MySQL shards, Squid and memcached all over the architecture to navigate all that data – so I’m on the right path!) The best part was meeting more people like me who are learning how to deal with and distribute all of this life data that just increases daily, the fact that I’m using my skills that I learnt by doing things like…running this blog, to do things on such a global level is an honor. And fun, lots of fun!
