My Thoughts Exactly
I have over 300,000 images stored in Amazon Photos. It is my main online photo archive. My kids use it to explore memories. It may be one of the best things I've ever done for my family, in addition to the thousands of private YouTube videos dating back to their first days on this planet.
Now that Amazon has a decently priced digital photo frame, I think I may finally take the plunge.
Norway is doing some first class trolling by posting images of their public toilets after Trump called the country a "shithouse." PetaPixel writes, "In an article titled “Are These the World’s Best S***houses?,” Norway showed off some of the striking buildings that house toilets across the country. Some of them offer incredible views of the Scandinavian scenery; others place a porcelain throne next to babbling brooks and gushing waterfalls.
The article also poked fun at Trump by declaring “Norway makes s***houses great again.” That's some world class trolling.
Sometimes you stumble on something on the internet and you think, "ok, this just make sense." This is one of those things. Why do we think we look so different in photos? Part of it is that cameras lenses can distort our features, but the familiarity of our face as we see it in a mirror is the real culprit.
"The more familiar something looks, the more your brain likes it, since recognizable sights take less effort for it to process. After a lifetime of mirror glances, your brain has been conditioned to believe that the reversed reflection is your “true” face. " There you have it.
I think this is a very good idea. Feels like a watermark, but it's purpose is to lead a real estate buyer to the original photo, prior to editing.
"The technology to alter a listing photo got very good, very fast, and the technology to verify one didn't keep up," said Vic DeVore, CEO and Founder of DeVore Design. "The buyer should be one scan away from seeing exactly what we started with."
Andrew Lanxon writes that the iPhone 18 Pro may reignite his love of phone photography. While I'm quite certain it won't ever replace my Sony A1, it might just do the same for me. I plan to buy one.
I probably would have called this extreme macro photography, or micro photography. Photomicrography wouldn't have come out of my mouth. These are some very cool images. Check them out.
