A visual essay of some of my own photography that I feel/hope conveys spiritual truth AND artistic truth. See my blog post at http://tamesequels.blogspot.com for my discussion about these two kinds of truths. All of these pieces are taken with a low resolution camera phone to try and convey that artistic beauty can be found in this world with the humblest means and mediums. This is one of my new art projects. I have always had an interest in photography, so this has been a good chance for me to experiment. I will try to post a photo on this site every day.

I like what you are doing, especially the wires photograph. I believe it ties in nicely to the sublime we talked about during Romanticism, that there is a glimpse of God in nature.

An example of someone succeeding at photography by seeking only reputation, not money, by publishing his work as Creative Commons-licensed.

An interesting list.

So, I just used this for my blog: http://tamesequels.blogspot.com, and will shortly be posting a digital literacy lab for this. Basically, if you want to put a blog feed as a widget on another blog, you can customize one for free on this website. It's really easy and it gives you a code at the end of the customization to post. Check out my blog to see one. It's the "My Photography" section, and you'll see how it posts everything from that blog really nicely. A great tool for making your website alive.

In response to Sean's bookmark about civil disobedience, I remembered this photograph from 2007. It shows an Israeli woman fighting against security forces sent to forcibly remove her and her family from illegal housing in the West Bank.

I'm not sure that this is how most people use tumblr, but it occured to me that searching for images through a blogging service where people are handpicking these images may be a better system. How many of us have looked something up through google images with sheer frustration at the lack of variety of images? Maybe I'm the only one. All I'm saying is that you should try opening up tumblr, plugging in a word like "mountains" or something and see what rolls out. Keep in mind that an extract of the blogger's text entry is displayed with the image, so it is not a legitimate "image search." But I really feel that this way of people deciding what images should be showing up is a great one. That is all. Also--Don't get too distracted by the huge sign up form in the middle of the page.
