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. - Thomas Hawk

16,000 ?? Yikes. Cool number. Congrats. - Charlie Anzman

big numbers don't mean squat - Ivan Pope from twhirl

big numbers means someone (Thomas) is dedicated to his art. He is pretty talented as well! - Michael VanDervort from twhirl

Perseverance furthers. - Michael Markman

This photo is total awesome. It is made even more awesome by the knowledge that there are 15,999 more photos just as awesome as this one. EDIT: This photo is now my desktop background. :) - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Congrats! - J. McConnell

beautiful, congrats! - Carmen wBabby

Awesome!! Keep going Thomas!! beutiful work... YOU are such an inspiration... thanks! - Susan Beebe

congrats Thomas! - Shey

Damn that is all kinds of awesome. - Mattb4rd

<3 - Nicholas Kreidberg

Wow, quite an accomplishment! - Jeff P. Henderson

Great job Thomas. Keep it up. - Andrew Smith

Congratulations.. keep going! we'll be watching :) - Juan Pablo González

Congratulations Thomas! - Holger Eilhard

Congrats & cheers TH. Your images confirm, you are, indeed, sui generis. - Dave Martin

Beautiful shot! Congrats for achieving this landmark! - Muhammad Ahmed

Congrats, I even don't think I took so many photos in my life. :) - Ferhad Fidan from fftogo

@thomas: Yahoo should be giving Flickr to you for free. You'd do a great job with it. And it would be historical: the first user-generated (company) acquisition :))) - Alberto D'Ottavi from fftogo

Beautiful!!!! - Rafael Montilla

awesome!! - Rhoda Meek

For 1M images you could do a multi-part movie (1080p) miniseries averaging an hour per episode. - Jay Cuthrell

wow from last year, I'm almost at 29,000 photos uploaded to flickr now. - Thomas Hawk

And only 971,000 to go ... :P - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

That's Awesome! - John Holzer

Keep 'em comin' Thomas! - Charlie Anzman

I guess the metier of 'photo editor' is kaput...or, at least, greatly altered.... - Chris Gulker

You know they are going to delete your account without warning once you hit 999,999, right? :) - Ace

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. I suppose that's why I'd like to see them enact the ability to... more... - Thomas Hawk

Holyshit! You have taked just couple of photos... - k00pa

Why your flickr page says 28,974 items ? - k00pa

Because this post is from September last year k00pa :) - Simon Wicks

@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. - Thomas Hawk

Ok, well I do, but that's just because I've needed it to prove I exist to the powers-that-be here in Denmark, thus I've practically had it glued to me for a while now. Even still, it's a certified copy, not the original, and about half the size of a regular piece of paper. I imagine the birthers would have a field day with that... - Bette Cooper

I only have an ID card of mine; WA state was issuing them when I was born. I've never even seen the original; I wonder what that makes me. - joey

Joey, I'm sorry to say, you are really an illegal immigrant from Elbonia. - Wirehead

Wow, Elbonia, huh? /me runs off to discover her heritage. - joey

i keep finding mine when i don't need it - Imabug

I do. Your birth certificate is on file at your state office of public health. You can get a "certified copy" for passport purposes, etc., and your hospital may have given your parents a ceremonial one with footprints and stuff on it, but your real live genuine birth certificate is in a file somewhere, or on microfiche, or scanned into a database. - John Craft

I have my birth certificate... somewhere. - John (bird whisperer)

I dug out the whole family's. They are all 'certificate of live birth' and three of four have no seals. They are official copies. From the 60s to 00s. California. - Eric Rice

What are "birther people"? - Rochelle

Rochelle, they are people who feel that Obama has never proven he was born in America and is a citizen. - Derrick

@rochelle Birthers are the latest tinfoilers who believe that Obama isn't a US citizen. Filed under 'moon landing is fake' and 'holocaust was a hoax'. - Eric Rice

"I scanned it and have a digital back-up as well as the original." - I keep a scan of my Birth Certificate, and my passport, on my phone's SD card. - John Craft

I keep mine in a **** ******* ******* next to my cache, cash, and passport. [EDIT: don't want to make it that easy :) ] Also have digital copies in secure places. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I have a Certificate of Live Birth, just like Obama. - Steve Lowe

Ahh. My parents have mine in their safe. - Rochelle

I think Jason looks kind of like the actor that played Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley. - Sean Patrick Sengenberger

zephyrlily, but the comments don't look like the old style, correct? - Matthew

Apple will do multitasking after they figure out music subscriptions and a real right click - Michael Benny

@Mike I think this is the older version - zephyrlily

So far, Palm Pre looks way better than Blackberry, I see it as 1. iPhone 2. Pre/WebOS 3. Blackberry 4. everyone else - James Britton

An iPod Touch with a camera would be awesome, then it can be used with all the camera apps on the app store - Matthew

"All we need is an open source iphone with a replaceable battery, multiple carriers, and a real slide-away keyboard." - Bruce Wagner

Matthew: probably not until September if it happens. Especially since the iPod event is in September. - Mister IQ

Bruce: thats a G1 - Roberto Bonini

what is the enterprise hook for palm pre? what sync app? activeSync? Push? - Chris Miller

Netbook???? - Roberto Bonini

Apple stone tablet - James Britton

I think Jason C. is wrong, Apple is not going to release a Netbook - Akshay Dodeja

no, they said that they were looking at it, but only for research - Jackson Pollock

Jay, Google gave a month of free service with the phone for developers to play with. - Jesse Stay

The Crunchpad? - Greg Byrne

Apple will release a netbook, but it'll cost $1800 - Jay McCormack

netbooks are in their first year. apple never jumps on something that new. - Jackson Pollock

Apple TV in a TV? i doubt, but ok Calicanis... - Mister IQ

@matthew Arrington's not getting my money - James Britton

I wish a CrucnchTablet! :D - Daynah

I agree..... A new revamped ATV is more likely - Roberto Bonini

It hadn't occured to me that Apple could do a *subsidized* small laptop... hm... - Ken Sheppardson

Crunch tablet looks good, and at $300 it would be a bargain, we'll see. - Matthew

I agree with Jay... - Daynah

Apple will never release a netbook with ATOM processor. - Akshay Dodeja

Is there a way to keep the twit.tv popout window always on top? - zephyrlily

zephyrlily: I use nvidia software to put any window on top - Jay McCormack

Apple Might Make a netbook but they will redefine what netbooks are - nanochrome

zephyrlily, you would probably have to have a separate app that does that for you - Matthew

Jackson Pollock: I hope it would have a full version of OS X. - Mister IQ

I think Apple might drop the price of AIR, the margins on - Akshay Dodeja

Steve hates pens and gloves and everything like that. They would never do a tablet with a pen, and never do a tablet without a pen, but with OSX. It will be a huge iPhone - Jackson Pollock

I tend to agree with Jeff Cannata about tablets, iPhone is a perfect size, just needs more power/storage/openness - James Britton

Would you read on a Kindle DX????? - Roberto Bonini

Dear Jason, you know which platforms already have the turn-it-into-a-wifi-hotspot app you described? Windows Mobile and Symbian. For months. - Vlad Bobleanta

iBook - Jim Bednarz

tom's exactly right - Chris Heath

Mister IQ. They would never do that. if an engineer gave Steve a touchscreen devise that you have to hit a tiny little red x in a corner to exit an app, he would throw it out the window. It has to have a touchscreen OS. - Jackson Pollock

I'm so proud of them, they haven't mentioned twitter once! - Curtis

They're not going to release a Netbook unless there is some sort of developer focus. Remember this is a dev conference. - Jesse Stay

@Ken Thinking about it now, I've yet to see one in person. - Antoniu

Macbook Air Touch???? - Roberto Bonini

OK, maybe...but i would prefer OS X - Mister IQ

Akshay: Try this view - http://friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson

Apple will never make anything with a pen or a hinge that you rotate. It breaks with every one of Dieter Rams' rules of good design. - Jackson Pollock

Yeah good idea jesse - Roberto Bonini

IT DOES LEO: after a threshold, ads get thrown out of system - Mike Bracco

The creepy dancing Six Flags guy - Ken Sheppardson

Jason the digg blog that announced (http://blog.digg.com/?p=808) digg ads says "Conversely the more an ad is buried, the more the advertiser is charged, pricing it out of the system." - russtbarnacle

@Jesse, popout the twit.tv and put it next to your FF window - zephyrlily

zephyrlily I know how to do that - that's not what I was referring to. :-) - Jesse Stay

Jason is full of it, people will watch good ads... Superbowl anyone? - Roy Pledge

@jesse I'm sure when (if?) Wave comes out, Leo will do that. - Vlad Bobleanta

Bing takes over Yahoo, wihtout much effort. all advertising - Chris Miller

hehe - Roberto Bonini

yo friendfeed peeps - ralphsaunders

I am really surprised how good Bing is - Michael Mowery

These new ads on Digg are going to be annoying because Adblock won't be able to block them. - Antoniu

What up Ralphy! - Hipp from IM

I use Bing to find blog images now - Jesse Stay

the map thing for bing is really hard to use - ralphsaunders

hi hipp :D - ralphsaunders

321, but they'll be just like another digg post and non-instrusive - Chris Heath

I been using Bing and its not bad - Kim Landwehr

I don't think Bing is doing well regionally beyond the US. i can't get the map stuff to work in Australia. - Jay McCormack

But Google Is Better And I Don't Like Going To Any Microsoft Site - nanochrome

Bing 's reign as Number 2 search engine ends after one day - @TechCrunch - http://bit.ly/sEHTW - Todd

bing = because it's not google or bing is not google - Holger Eilhard

Even if BING is great, what is the compelling reason to use anything other than Google which IS great and I am really comfortable with already? - Joel Asaro

I'm very impressed with Bing. I haven't used Google since Bing come out. - Joseph Ferris

Joel: Agreed... there's just not enough to move accross to it - Jay McCormack

That's the problem it good but there is nothing about Bing that makes people want to use it over Google - Kim Landwehr

The video preview is a thumbnail, how can Denise expect you to watch a video in a search result in total - Jay McCormack

Bing; how about not showing previews of short videos. problem solved - Roberto Bonini

how do they pull relevance - Chris Miller

Does bing do that for Youtube videos??? - Roberto Bonini

I Don't Think So - nanochrome

Bing beats out Yahoo, cuz it's the only pre-installed search on the new Explorer!! - Alex

This is the same issue over and over again. It's not the technology's responsibility to not watch inappropriate content (porn or violence or whatever). It's the parent's responsibility to instill the right values in the child. - Jay McCormack

See! Leo has done a good job educating his kids to look at the right stuff - Jay McCormack

Where is everyone going for WWDC coverage? - Mister IQ

is WWDC going to be streamed, or will it only be for download after the fact - Matthew

@Chris That's true, but I would personally rather just see user-generated content without the advertising. At least Digg is doing it much better, as long as they clearly disclose what is advertisement, than banner ads and popups. - Antoniu

Bing video search does show youtube videos - Kim Landwehr

@Master IQ: I'll be following MacRumors - nick

Poorngle - zephyrlily

Permitted content is tolerated different in each counrtry I visit fow work. makes intresting browsing - Chris Miller

Exactly - that case has already been lost in court. Tony needs a better lawyer. - Jesse Stay

Twitter starts verified accounts soon, problem solved. - Jay McCormack

Would be nice if they bring back their old features they took away because their infrastructure couldn't handle them before they try to add new ones. - Ken Sheppardson

Of the many payment options, it's easy, it works, it's international, it might be expensive, but it does work. - Jay McCormack

he didnt make any intention to even use or expand no the account, he just wanted it down - Chris Miller

yeah ken, but you and i know that's not a technical problem - Chris Heath

@Lise: I laughed, but then felt guilty because no one seemed to find it funny :P - Cory Roush

Have you ever tried to contact Twitter support? - Jesse Stay

@Ken I agree. I'm still upset about this whole @ reply feature - Lise

You have to have TechCrunch to write about it for them to listen that you are being impersonated. - Jesse Stay

@Cory I don't think anyone got it. lol - Lise

@Jesse: Yes, and it was one of the most frustrating processes I've ever went through. - Cory Roush

Facebook is the same - Jesse Stay

Bing is no longer the #2 search engine. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Mister IQ

Natal can recognize 48 points of motion compared to the PS3's 2, plus you know Natal will work with Windows 7 - Matthew

Natal combined with the new controller Sony showed would be pretty slick. - Ken Sheppardson

Felicia Day looks good with anything! :-P - Hipp from IM

watch the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs interview from D5. Bill talked about it and was laughed out because people thought he meant the Wii interface - Jackson Pollock

Shane Kim said that releasing Natal in the spring would be "aggressive". So they still have a year or more to work on it. - Matthew

no, the eyetoy is not the same as Natal - Matthew

Using the newer tech like this in an arcade environment with a wrap-around screen would be interesting - Ken Sheppardson

That new PS3 controller demo Sony did was sweet! - Scott Hubble

here's a video of the company MS acquired to work on Project Natal..... http://gear.ign.com/dor... - Matthew

How long after release will it take for some Sicko to make Milo Naked - Erle Stride

it's a video of their Z-Cam - Matthew

The press has completely missed the navigation piece of Natal...did you see the minority report style menu conteol and the voice control of teh video playback? - Rob

Wii's just integrating acceleration to get position. The Sony controller actually measures the position of the controller, doesn't it? - Ken Sheppardson

I want 3D games with those controllers - Jesse Stay

MS will put Natal on Windows as well, so Minority Report type interface is possible when this comes out - Matthew

what if they added skype to xbox using natal - Michael Mooney

DS can add a "motion pack" in its second slot, acts as one. - Denise Howell

If you type in Twitter the Fail Whale comes up - Jesse Stay

Is Scribblenauts for DS and DSi or just DSi? - Mister IQ

The new DS only has one slot, no GBA slot - Matthew

the DSi - Matthew

I haven't bought DS games since I've had the iTouch - zephyrlily

I love my iPod Touch, it is my first apple product - Matthew

:-) Yes, it was a joke - Jesse Stay

I'm so getting Scribblenauts. - Filipe Rodrigues

"Fall" = Q4, IMHO - Ken Sheppardson

jay McCormack, it means it will be available for the holidays - Matthew

Matthew... again a problem. We have "holidays" throughout the year here. - Jay McCormack

christmas time - Matthew

it's a terminology thing: How hard is it to say Q4 2009. - Jay McCormack

winter usually means early 2010, or whatever the case may be - Matthew

You see my winter starts in April - Jay McCormack

Yeah, but yours is wrong, Jay. - Ken Sheppardson

i 'can' work it out, but it yet another US centric thing - Jay McCormack

It's broken. - Ken Sheppardson

tom sets the record straight - Chris Heath

Ken: LOL - Jay McCormack

yes, it's US centric - Matthew

Upside down. - Ken Sheppardson

But as an ex-Lobbyist, doesn't that make him even more qualified to serve? - Hipp from IM

jay q1 is winter january, feb, march - Chris Heath

fall usually means in time for people to buy it for x-mas - Matthew

You only think I'm Jesse Stay... - Jesse Stay

Chris, q1 is Summer, Jan through March - Jay McCormack

Q4 also means january - Matthew

Sorry... i'll stop nw - Jay McCormack

at least fiscally - Matthew

jay, you must be in the southern hemisphere - Chris Heath

Oh good lord, no - Aaron T. Harvey

Leo, the newest dashboard for the Xbox (NXE) lets you install your games to the hard drive, and it barely makes a sound. The fans don't make that much noise, it's the DVD drive that makes all the sound due to wanting short load times - Matthew

The streaming HD on the TiVo Netflix interface is beautiful! - Aaron T. Harvey

"As you all know I have been using Linux for a long, long time. I have installed countless distributions: Some of them have seen long-term use, while some of them have been nothing more than a flash in the pan. Ubuntu is one of those that has come and gone for me. I have used it on many occasions, been generally impressed with its offerings, but ultimately gone back to another distribution for one reason or another. I have seen, over the last few Ubuntu releases, a serious decline in performance. Starting somewhere around 7.04, each successive release grew progressively more and more sluggish. From boot times to application start up times, Ubuntu seemed to be coming to a slow painful crawl. With 9.04 Ubuntu has made a complete turnaround." - Alejandro from Bookmarklet

Cool, but will I finally get sound on my laptop? - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

I completly agree: ubuntu 7 was really fast, 8 was a bit slower but still enought for me. I updated to 9 because I read it was faster in some aspects, but is not true. Perhaps it's only the intel video card issue but if they don't fix it in short I'll go back to 8. BTW, which distribution have you switch to?. Un saludo! - jmiguel rodriguez

yeah 9.04 is a whole new variation of previous versions. I use it as my primary O/s though of course it is not without it's problems but it has certainly improved. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

9.04 is 8.10 with new wallpaper and faster boot. What people want: most addon hardware still don't work. This should have been labeled 8.11. Most defectors I see, and that is most who try it, defect because a webcam, a USB device still doesn't work on it. 9.04 did nothing to fix those problems. Is faster boot a real issue for serious users? You're joking. PC Mag agrees: http://tinyurl.com/c73o4l - Bob

@freemor: thank you, I tried it and looks faster, but it freezes (mouse works) after 10 minutes or so, so I went back to original config. I'll keep on Jaunty waiting for a new driver. @bob: I upgraded to v9 because that was just what I expect, but in fact I've got a slower system (not to talk about amarok 2.0 sh!t) - jmiguel rodriguez

@jmiguel: I've seen a lot of comments about it. Most people recommend going back to Amarok 1.4 http://ff.im/2sBxp - Alejandro

@Alejandro: I've already done it. Most of my mp3 collection (those strange things not in spotify :-)) didn't play with amarok 2.0. Cannot understard this ubuntu movement... - jmiguel rodriguez

Amarok is independent of Ubuntu. btw, because of the Open Source movement, you can choose among several free applications that provide the same functionality. I personally don't use Amarok, I prefer Rhythmbox. - Alejandro

Never used it, I'll give a try. I've been using amarok for long. I did the comment about ubuntu because looks like they have prefer to release at time instead of waiting for something more stable. - jmiguel rodriguez

Ashton Kutcher shoots Nikon. - tabbr

I may be completely off, but judging by the way he is holding that camera, I can't imagine it is his or that he has shot it much. He looks like he's trying to shoot a P&S. - Jeremy Kunz

He is holding it wrong. My guess is he would prefer to use the live view function but doesn't know how to turn it on. At least he isn't holding it back to front. - CJPhoto

tabbr, I don't think any1 cares what Ashton Kutcher shoots (ofcourse he does get paid for it - you have seen the ads right?). Jeremy, CJPhoto, he is the president for God's sake, not a photographer :) - Shivanand Velmurugan

Shivanand, you are right, and I'm not intending to knock him down, I'm just observing that I seldom see someone with a camera that is sporting a pro grade lens do that and I'm trying to guess why. I can hold a camera really well, but my pictures... well, that's another thing. - Jeremy Kunz

he didnt order the crazy photoop - pb:

"I see cheezeburgerz" LOL - http://www.backtype.com/ricmaye... - Ric Mayer

Jeremy, most people who didn't learn to shoot with crappy lenses in dim situations with manual cameras, don't go through the rigour of maximising equipment. I bet, the resident photog of the whitehouse, should take it upon herself to educate Mr. president, so we can all enjoy pictures from the viewpoint of one of the great minds of our lifetime. - Shivanand Velmurugan

i think he's just goofing around here though. it's not his camera according to the caption. - Nathan Rein

If I were a graffiti artist I'd make a stencil out of this photograph and spray paint it everywhere. - Thomas Hawk

Anyone know what lens that is? Just curious. - Patrick Binder

I almost seem to remember a photo of Obama shooting with a photographers camera during the campaign. - Patrick Binder

Patrick: that's almost certainly a wide prime, either 24/1.4L or 35/1.4L. Probably the latter. - Gabe

Looks like the 85mm f 1.2 to me. - Thomas Hawk

that not an 85mm f1.2...unless my last copy was different and i am almost positive its not a 24mm 1.4 either. - Carlos Ayala

Carlos: You're right that it's clearly not an 85/1.2 (the AF switch in the photo is obviously different than either the original or II version), but I'm having a hard time convincing myself it's not the 24/1.4. - Gabe

@Gabe the reason i think its not the 24 is because of the distance of the red line and the top edge of the lens. now granted it could be the angle but it seems that the red line is further away (than the lens pictured) if it were a 24. too bad that there are no metadata/tags on this picture. - Carlos Ayala

Carlos, how would metadata help? - Gabe

cool! - Susan Beebe

"Here’s a funny thing I ran across related to this particular quote: “A.P. executives said they were concerned about a variety of news forums around the Web, including major search engines like Google...Google pays the AP for the right to run AP stories...So the AP is concerned about a company’s legitimate paid use of AP content. This just PROVES that the AP is totally incompetent!" (comment at http://www.newstechzilla.com/2009...) - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

They're just like Telecom, they have NO clue. This is SO funny. - Mona Nomura from IM

AP is just doing a lot of saber rattling, because the Google-AP contract is soon up for renewal. None of this will come to anything, and I don't think AP's bargaining position will improve a bit. With a major section of its clientele dropping like, well, newspapers, they need all the friends they can get. - Stan Scott

Hilarious! And it gets to the heart of the matter - the old managerial hierarchies have left in place a bunch of dinosaurs who can't understand the changing world around them.

I don't think they will ever go away. Just because you are all hating on them doesn't change the fact that they rock. And wall mart will always sell knock off crocs because they can make a killing.

Lol - I'm so far behind this week!! Glad to see George already dropped by and squashed the rumor - after Crocs saved my feet in Austin @ SxSW (thanks to George) I'm a die-hard fan - and no, not of the old-style Mickey Mouse shoes - but of the cute ones I wore all over down there that no one would've known were crocs except I couldn't help telling everyone! :) - Lucretia Pruitt

I was a "croc-hater" too for awhile. My kids absolutely love them. Personally, I own Nike, Adidas, Prada, Tommy Bahama and Croc flip-flops (normal looking) and the Crocs are by far the most comfortable. - Adam Rogers

And like someone above said - they're not going away. There are too many knock-offs for the style to go away. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
