Went out yesterday and spent most of the evening outside.
Had to combine three pictures to create this one, which reflects best what I saw with my eyes.
Need to practice my photography a bit much more…

Flickr: here we go again
So in the future, when the revenue coming from paying members is small enough to ignore, and the advertising numbers come in below expectations (as they often do), my fear is that Yahoo will come to an almost inevitable business decision: To kill Flickr.
via The new Flickr: Goodbye customers, hello ads | TechHive.
I’ve been a Flickr user for… a long time (actually, I went to try and find out and it doesn’t tell you anymore) and a paying Flickr Pro member on and off for about 4 years. I joined in when it was riding high on the web 2.0 wave and stayed during the slog that were the years of Yahoo acquisition.
Now… this. They want fifty bucks just for not displaying ads. No other benefit but that. Sure, I like the new website design, and the new mobile app… but the underlying functionality of the site will be much downgraded now, and the mobile app still will not post to Twitter.
Hell, I’ve received mails from Flickr telling me to convert to a free account from my paid Pro account. They want to let go of a sure 25 dollars so they can put ads on my pages; ads that most likely will not pull 25 dollars — much less 50 dollars — in a year of service.
Like Mr. Powazek says, that gamble better pay off, although I’ll hedge my bet and say that in two years time, it won’t have and Flickr will be unceremoniously killed by the suits at Yahoo.
Once again, Flickr is being treated like a fucking database.
Aw yisss
Facebook is a continuing nightmare of privacy disasters. It’s the bathroom door that resists all efforts at locking, swinging open again and again while you’re trying to poop.

All I want from Flickr right now is a new version of the Android app.
Better than Facebook at any rate
After two (three?) years without a Flickr Pro account, I went ahead and got one.
Feel free to go look at them pretty pictures, all 1205 of them. I thought I only had something like 400 or so.
The crux, laid bare.
At the time, the Web was rapidly becoming more social, and Flickr was at the forefront of that movement. It was all about groups and comments and identifying people as contacts, friends or family. To Yahoo, it was just a fucking database.
Oh flickr…
This is what’s wrong with flickr, right now. You know things are bad when something that should be working 100% of the time doesn’t.
This is NOT a taco
I see a tostada folded in half.

Este domingo pasado algunos usuarios de Flickr se reunieron en el Cementerio No. 1 de la ciudad para pasar el día tomando fotos para conmemorar a aquellos que ya se fueron.
Algunos de los usuarios que se reunieron para la ocasión fueron Fher Prz, Psicoloco, McMexicano, y FOTOGRAFIA-ARTE, Carolina Hdez1 y Arturo Rubio Photography.
