Despite my incapacity to take good photos, I’m a sucker for photography and I very much enjoy the few photologs I visit. In my little attempt to enter the world of point and click, I have sent a few photos to Disclosure where they display Canada and Canadians. Anyway, I just found a link to the Legal Handbook for Photographers with a few ideas on how to protect yourself and your work. Interesting. [Via Camilo]
Now the Olympic Games are almost over (in an hour or so), I wonder about the security breaches. First when a crazy Canadian jumped in the swimming pool and today when another crazy man (from Portugal Ireland, it seems) stopped the Brazilian runner who was leading the marathon (how frustrating!). I mean, if these two people could do things like that so easily, I’m sure Athens wasn’t a terrorist target after all, otherwise the stories could be different. Yikes!
Question for people living in Canada with family and friends abroad: What’s the best calling card I can find? The options are so many, I just don’t know what to choose and I really want to start using them. Currently I make calls through Patrice’s office, but I always end up feeling guilty, even if he says it’s OK. The Phone Card Store has a wide selection, but I want callers opinion. Help?
I was just visiting Kim’s (excellent) weblog and found a link to Death Online, a website with lots of information, probably too much, about that thing we all have to live with, death. At first I thought “God, I ain’t visiting that site!” and then curiosity was stronger than my repulsion. Turns out the website, though graphic, is quite informative and useful because it shows you death as it is and I think it’s important we all learn to accept it. Some of us will take the spiritual approach and believe that there’s something beyond, and others will think it’s the end of everything. But whatever our beliefs are, preparing for death (ours or our loved ones’) is something we don’t practice enough. I don’t know why I’m posting this today, I guess it’s another step in my self-discovery process because I don’t like to discuss death (even if it has touched my life in so many levels), but it will happen eventually, so I better grow up for once and all.
