Nashville skyline
photo blog

Nashville is a nice town, and it has a lot of similarities to Austin in my opinion. Both are music cities, have great skylines, sit next to a river and have a "comfy feel" to them. I was in Nashville last week for 1 night and was able to get out with my trusty Nikon for a little while after hours. I knew I wanted to get this shot, as I took a similar one about 2 years ago but never posted it. I walked around their downtown for a bit, taking lots of "street shots" and capturing some of those amazing signs they have outside all their country music places. Then as sunset got near I made my way up onto the Shelby Pedestrian Bridge which gives you this wonderful view of the town. I took a lot of shots from up here, at various angles and light conditions. In other words, I have several more shots of the Nashville skyline to show you one day! Thanks for stopping by!

Break the Bank (6/365)

Inspired by my housing search. Those who follow me on Twitter might remember me sulking about how much cheaper it would be to live in Richmond. Now there's a blog post to go with it. Bottom line: D.C. living is expensive.

Flickr as a Presentation Machine

Flickr has the ability to create "sets" groups of images that are releated (a free flickr account allows you to create up to 3 sets, with a pro account, the sky is the limit). You can add photos to a set several ways- via the Organizr tool, or once a set is made, while browsing your images, you can just use the links above images to "add to set".

There are many ways you might think of to use sets (photos from a class field trip, snapshots from a class performance), one interesting way a few folks are using it is to actually prepare, and share presentation materials-- flickr provides a web friendly format that is easy to share.

The screens above are from one of these I did a year ago with my colleague Brian Lamb, from University of British Columbia. We used this flickr slide show for the Beyond the Blog presentation at the 2006 EDUCAUSE ELi conference, and added a link in the slide show description to the audio recorded form the session. The inset shows the presentation in slideshow format.

Each flickr screen not only contained the image, but a long list of information and web links for each topic. There are about 5 times as many screens as shown- we link to them in non linear paths via the different tags we assigned to our screens.

And not only can you create slideshows from sets, the use of flickr tags automatically creates slideshows, infinite amounts of them! For example, here is one based on my flower photos drawing from my own collection. But I can also use tags across everyone's photos, making for example a slide show all about pumpkins. These links are available from any of flickr's tags display screens

Again, it is only as limited as your imagination.

Check out SlideFlickr which makes it easy to embed a flickr set into any web page.

Most Awesomely Delicious Brownies

Hannah from the blog Bittersweet (http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/) is a genious! These brownies are lower-fat, gluten free, vegan and the best fudgy dessert ever! I modified the original recipe slightly, using chocolate chips and peanuts, amongst other things. I can't wait to make this again!

Great news! I was contacted by Carl Zeiss today to be featured in their next article about Water Photography.

The interview will take place Thursday or Friday.

Also, for the interview, I was asked to submit 5 shots dealing with water. I'll post the ones I have narrowed it down to in my comments and would love your feedback! (If you want to suggest others -taken with my Zeiss- please feel free.) Also posted the survey on my Facebook page if you'd rather answer there.

Also submitted a photo to PopPhoto (why not, right?)
