digital inspiration has posted a nice guide to cool tools available for flickr using a handy Q and A format. For example:

Q: I need pictures from Flickr for my school project that look like a sad or angry smiley face.

A: Go to Retrievr, draw a sketch of the smiley face and this tool will try to retrieve pictures that match your sketch. Could be a great option for searching pictures that cannot be described in words.

Eat Me

In much the same vein as SNL’s “Cluckin’ Chicken” commercial parody comes this collection of restaurant mascots exhorting you to eat them or their own species.

I guess “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” best exemplifies this concept.

Photography is Not a Crime

Obviously I’m not in the same league as Thomas Hawk, but still I consider myself an amateur photographer who gets the occasional good shot.

Last night I attended the Festival of Friends which is held at Gage Park which is owned by the City of Hamilton. While waiting for Steve Earl to take the stage I decided to take some pictures of the surrounding area and take in some of the atmosphere that makes up this public event. Having trained my lens on a particular food stall I noticed that one of the employees was waving their hands wildly in my direction. Lowering the camera I can see him mouthing the words “no pictures!”

I shrugged and moved on without taking the shot and now I’m feeling like I somehow did the wrong thing. This event is on publically owned land and it was an event open to the public and he was in full view from where I was standing so I don’t believe I was on any shaky legal ground.  This wasn’t going to be a pulitzer winning photo but all the same I wonder if I did the right thing.

The reason I bring this up is because of Thomas Hawk’s post about getting kicked out of a museum for taking pictures in a place where patrons are specifically allowed to do so.

This is where I ask, “What would you do in my, or Thomas’ situation?”
