Odds and sods

Monday May 5, 2008 at 12:37AM

I've mentioned before that I find the emphasis on the "new" to be somewhat of a tyranny. In terms of sites like ipernity it means that older photos simply don't get seen. Charp has started a group that deals with this.

Vide-grenier/Garage Sale

To quote from the groups homepage. "Internet is the world of the short-lived. Here on Ipernity, new pictures drive old ones away, in the dark depths where nobody can see them anymore. :-) This group intends to react against this tragedy by bringing some of them out of oblivion. Pay attention to the rules. Their goal is to slow oblivion here! ;-)"

So, those of you who have been here on ipernity for more than 6 months, its a place to post those "oldies but goodies", and for newer members its a place to view some great photos.

Molnar

The last sequence of photos I uploaded were taken on a weekend last October. One of my little businesses that I am trying to build up is as a tour guide. I'm interested in taking people "off the beaten track" in Japan to see and experience a side of Japan that tourists rarely see. The Molnar's were an American couple I took around for a few days. We visited Izumo Taisha, Hinomisaki Jinja, Tatamigaura, the bridge at Aquas, and a festival in Gotsu.

The new sequence I'm uploading were taken on my lunchbreak. You probably havent noticed, but on Wednesdays (Tuesdays for most of your timezone) I post fewer pictures, because thats the one day a week I go to Hamada to work.

"Here on Ipernity, new pictures drive old ones away"; indeed. Thankfully there are tags to help rediscover images that would otherwise be buried.

How! That's why there is suddenly new pictures in the group this morning! :-)
Thanks a lot, Osijanjake!

Antoher problem, that no group can help, is that we have the tendancy (?) to prefer quick looks and answers by everybody, to longer one by a one or two contacts. And that was my problem with your albums. Now I came more rarely to everybody, but longer.

I think you must be a extraordinary guide, by making see things, no other could have ever seen. The ability to see is the common quality of a guide or a photographer.

as well as the tyranny of the new, there is, as you notice, a tendency for many to crank up the speed of everything.
I live out in the boonies, and walk, don't have a cellphone, dpon't watch TV,..... I prefer it slower...

Over the past five months I've been mainly shooting film. Slow, more comtemplative, and fewer images.

I like the idea of providing a second life for pictures. Bringing up some classics back to mind is a good thing and only if classic means half a year ago... I'll join the group! It makes yourself look at your older documents again and you may discover where you came from.

All in all, when I read that, I am happy I am not a real photograph.
Even if my blogs are not a success either.
No worry, I try always to do the kangoo job, from newest and then jumping to the last numbers of the series and so on...
Well, not easy to explain...
