Photoblog
I just went and created myself a photoblog, I did it for a number of reasons:
- to encourage myself to take photos as often as possible and have a place to post them. this blog is not really the place to post photos,
- to get a better understanding the Sandbox theme for WordPress for the redesign of this site,
- to experiment with flickr, zoomr, picasa and other online photo apps and their APIs,
- and to try to catch up to Kay on the number of blogs (all three are hers).
It is a pretty plain looking site, but I did that for a reason, the design should not take the focus of the photos.

Out of curiosity, why not use flickr?

Never mind, the bit about APIs hadn’t really sunk in ;)

here’s my 2c worth…my motivation for photographing the door is that it was my studio door 16 over 15 years ago and acretions of graffiti only improve it. I used the “eye” shape in quite a bit of work from then. here’s another up the road in James St: http://www.flickr.com/photos/technobohemian/288034256/in/set-72157594297061724/ - still surviving… could this be some of the oldest “street art” in perth?
so Nick we haven’t met, I did but see you travelling by, with your nickcowie.com bag at the massive which gets me to thinking - if we all wandered around with url’s on our person - maybe the 6 degrees thing would shrink down a little. but it would be a pain taking down every domain or url you saw. I mean its bad enough already…so how about QR codes? these are the next big thing (or maybe just a bad prediction) anyway you can see one with some street art just here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/technobohemian/294270060/in/set-72157594298929340/ across the road a bit from the door.
now I look at the door again, I am drawn to the presence of the “R” and by strange coincidence I also snapped the R on the weekend elsewhere in town in wolf lane. I really like its execution as a neegative stencil. will flickr soon.
Rose if you are reading this by email instead of on your blog, you will know your filter is still misbehavin.
Nick - look forward to snapping or meeting you one day maybe this year.
cheers, nic

Somehow Feeddemon ate your RSS feed Nick. I haven’t gotten any of your posts for a few weeks but I was too busy over Christmas to notice… I think a few others may have gone missing too :(
Anyway, all fixed now, your photoblog is added, love the concept and looking forward to seeing more of your photos!
