Good News, Seattle’s Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum to Allow Photography - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

I was pleased to read this morning over at the Seattle PI that Seattle’s EMP museum will be lifting their ban on photography beginning September 26th. I’ve long wanted to visit this museum, but never have due to their photographer unfriendly policy in the past. The EMP, which is in a beautiful Frank Gehry-designed building near the base of Seattle’s Space Needle is a museum dedicated to the history of popular music and science fiction. I’ve always wanted to shoot it and imagine that the contents inside the museum would represent a photographer’s treasure trove of possible material. Flash will still be prohibited but non-flash photography will be allowed.
- Thomas Hawk
This is great news! I'll be in Seattle that weekend, and I originally ruled the EMP out because of the policy. Can't wait to visit now!
- Andre Maltais
I particularly enjoyed the Science Fiction part of the museum - they did a good job of covering lots of different media (books, radio, tv, movies, etc.) and they even had a section on fans (relationship between fans and creators, fans who become creators, conventions, etc.). It's not a huge collection but it's a lot of fun.

When Gmail stopped working, I just assumed the internet was down. I couldn't understand why I could still load the NYTimes. Figured it must have been some sort of cached version. Never ever occurred to me that it was Gmail that was down.

And what a fine one it is! Congrats
- Michael Fidler
it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken.
- Thomas Hawk
When I think about this I realize your best days are ahead of you.
- Russellreno
That is a great photo
- Darin aka iGoByDoc
What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish?
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.
- Thomas Hawk
Wow and Congrats!!
- Vox
Dude, you're a machine.
- Zee.
Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

16,000 ?? Yikes. Cool number. Congrats.

Ace, I hope not, I'd be so pissed. Actually I think alot of what gets me so upset about all the content/account deletion issues is that I really do worry that it actually will happen to me. Flickr staff hates me and they'd *love* to delete my account. I worry that I'll wake up one morning and everything will have been nuked.

@Chris Gulker. Someday I hope to work with a photo editor. God knows I need to. I like to think of my Flickrstream today more as the raw material in a lot of ways for future projects. A good photo editor adds tremendous value to shaping a photographer's imagery.

"This Month in Photo of the Day: Images From the 2008 International Photo Contest Dolphins are known to jump out the back of big waves as they break against the shores. This pod of bottlenose dolphins was leisurely surfing in the waves as the offshore wind blew against the incoming waves, creating an atmosphere that was most unique and magical. At a place called Waterfall Bluff in the Transkei, South Africa."

Comment on The Life of a Photo – From ‘Snap’ to Upload by Justin Korn - http://blog.justinkorn.com/index...
Derrick, Andre Maltais and Lars Clausen liked this
Michael, Thanks! I agree, it is quite amazing what can be done. When I first started with digital, I used to only do the bare minimum, basically anything I could do in a darkroom. I then read somewhere on a photography forum (not an exact quote) "that digital photography is still photography, but a new form of the art. Utilizing the tools available is not cheating, it's just different." Since then, I've let myself go a little with the processing. I still attempt to keep my photographs looking "real," but I continue to utilize the tools I have to make the final photograph look and feel how I envision it. You are going to love Lightroom! Happy Processing, Justin
