~ Picture Story Challenge 
~
Place a picture from of your own or photography that you have a link with in a photo stream like flickr or any of the ones that are out there. Why not?
I have seen this done and there is no theme – its thought to leave it open ended as to what one wishes to place and write about. I honestly do enjoy this more than you know and this here is a collaborative I suppose. This is not work this is fun, and I do hope you will join. I hope I am not the only one.
I am connected with several and you out there know I have been over to see you and I do make comments to others blogs so it’s a challenge and fun request we are able to do the things in which we desire. Why not.
And I will post one here that as well, but right now I have just awoke it’s Sunday and I am just taking it easy and hopeful that there will be some participation. Leading me to the fact that this is a creative fun endeavor. It's all your everyone's own perogative as to what they would like to "co-create"....From United States, Canda, England, Australia, Fillipeans, Mexico, Latin America...it's the colors and vantages we all wish to share in our own manner.
Uhhh...could you try explaining this endeavor again? I must have the Sunday groggies, too, cuz I don't understand what you are asking. I wanna play, though!!!
ReplyDeleteA Picture Story.....A picture or a link, and then a story...
ReplyDeleteANY PICTURE I WANT TO SHARE RIGHT?

ReplyDeleteI been looking for a theme for this pic lol..... disordered coulda been à propos but I liked the hairdo more :P
From Hollywood Beach 090308
ReplyDeleteI'm testing to see if I can embed an image here...don't laugh at me if it doesn't work. :-)
Damn! I did it! I ain't so dumb after all!
ReplyDeleteOkay...now that I figured that out, I need to write something....hang loose for a bit.

ReplyDeleteI took this photo yesterday in late afternoon, as the sun was setting, on the way home from my son's house. It was awfully cold and you can see the condensing vapor rising from the water. The trees near the water had frost on them but it doesn't show in this photo.
Amazing picture Lise.. reminds me of the lake of two mountains dam. Looks so cold and peaceful.

ReplyDeleteI snapped this photo a while ago, but guess what? That newspaper rack was correct, all right! These are definitely new times for a whole lot of folks. New, however, doesn’t always mean better. There are upsides and downsides to everything, especially when it concerns progress. The digital age, the “Green” movement, and the failing economy have dramatically changed people’s lives and in its wake it has left many of these racks devoid of newspapers to sell. Not New Times, per se, because they are a free publication, but many, many large newspapers have ceased home delivery or cut back to just a few days a week. Bulk delivery of newspapers to businesses like your local convenience store have considerably dropped off, too .
One by one, over the space of about the last three to five years, newspaper companies have either filed for bankruptcy, cutback on staff by the thousands to concentrate more on web content news, or they just plain folded up for good. The Internet has finally won…hands down, which is something it has been attempting to do ever since the original dot.com’ers arrived on the scene back in the early 1990’s.
The good thing? Our national forests are being spared extinction by the cutback in consumable paper products, not to mention all that ink.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for progress and technology, but because I work in the newspaper industry, I’m a wee bit concerned about my future. Being on the backside of fifty, I’m not too keen on looking for a new job in another industry at this stage of the game. So, I’m hoping our company can make a smooth transition into the digital age. Everyone still wants to read the news and people still need to advertise their products and services. We just need to do it in cyberspace, instead of on a piece of newsprint.
Newspapers still have a lot of life left, though, as long as the baby boomers keep resisting change, but eventually the age of news in print will come to a slow, albeit sad end. Soon, I will have a lot of company, in that more and more people will be wearing wrist splints to ward off carpal tunnel syndrome from mousing and scrolling all day long. Maybe it’s time to invest in one of those new fangled computers that can do my typing and scrolling for me using voice technology.
Wow, I have to contribute my own but I am going to read them as well first. I will be back as I am doing my laundry. It's a choice and this is fun!
ReplyDeleteAny at all.....Cyn. ~Why Not~
ReplyDeleteIt does show Joyce....not laughing at all...
ReplyDeleteIf you wish too certainly that was the idea in a simplistic manner.
ReplyDeleteDo as you please.
It's a terrific picture your photography is your art! I can see the mist that is coming up from the river there while the sunset is showing a hue of orange as the clouds come draw in. The closure of the day into evening with the soft white snow. Creates a picture that radiates and does show something that one can appreciate the "scene" of winter as the day comes towards a calm closure....
ReplyDeleteVery nice....
The picture was taken while no one was around the colors of the building combined with the yellow and red newspaper stand do illustrate something that you are talking about. I feel that it's tragic that the newspaper industry has to go this way. I am certain that people love to feel and read and newspaper as just like a book. Maybe the economy will create a the situation that you refer too. But I don't think books nor newspapers will become extinct.
ReplyDeleteThere still is a large amount of people that prefer to have that touch of a paper and read it.
When I clicked on the image it expanded to a large site that illustrates this far better and the picture combined to the write is something that is really something that one does think about. For myself, I have always loved to read a newspaper flipping the pages. I know it's not good for the "Green" movement, but it's one of my favorite things to do in the morning with a cup of coffee. Thank you Joyce.
A time before winter when the .....what is the name for these. I know them all so well. They are right near bodies of water or in shallow areas. This was autumn giving it's first call perhaps? The wind is blowing and the season is nearing an end. Prior to this there was might have been some green but a dragon fly flew by and around this pond Mimi, there we so many things that were just beginning to change. Au natural, with the "hairdo's" starting to fall, as Winter was just around the corner, but they will be back once again.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture it was taken within a cathedral - it's one of the first when I really started to become interested within shapes and the texture of what I refer to as Vantages. The colors this pipe organ that I took some time ago, was without any concept I just liked the way that it looked, I am not used to doing this copy and paste, but this speaks to me - it's one of a few that was taken when I obtained my second camera.
ReplyDeleteWhat it symbolizes - I am not sure, it's something for what it is and it seems to relate to music and that is something that brings about unity of in some manner within this space. I took this picture around 15 months ago. And it's one that I feel presents itself in some manner of what we know as unity in time and in space.
Mimi, you're right. It is a photo of the Lake of Two Mountains Dam.
ReplyDeleteI like your take too of the cattails, it's a nice shot. I've tried several times to photograph some and they never did come out very nice. You could call it "Nest Liner" or "Tinder" because when the heads disintegrate some birds use them to line their nests and Native Americans also used the downy material as tinder for starting fires.
G'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteHelpppppppp needed, how on earth does one post a photo on anthers page? remember us" L platers " lol
The lovely photo of Hollywood Beach makes me look forward to summer again. It's going to be a while though, the temperature right now is -11C (12F) and we got another dumping of snow this afternoon.
ReplyDelete*sings* its a small world afterrrr alllll hehehe.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a photo account somewhere - you go to your pictures and underneath it there is a embedded content that you copy and paste it. Some may be able to tell you how as this is the first time I looked at my flickr account and went to it and saw underneath the account the embedded code. Then you copy that code and past it in.
ReplyDeleteThis is dynamic Mimi!!!!
ReplyDeleteSame Dam Lise took a picture of..... different season. The FUN season when it all melts!!!
ReplyDeleteMerci that is sensational...this is fun.
ReplyDeleteTwo pics from my album at this location: http://tarvergen.multiply.com/photos/album/4/Granada_Spain
ReplyDeleteThe photos in the album, from Alhambra, Granada, Spain, were taken by my elder sister and I while on a month-long holiday in Spain. I have so very many more that I really should, at some point in time, put online. ...
The only account I have open to the public is here on Multiply
ReplyDeletehttp://poetessgarden.multiply.com/photos
I go to the web page where the pic is and right click and choose 'view image' (using foxfire mozilla).
ReplyDeleteThen, I copy the address from the location bar at the top of the browser.
Then, I come back and paste the address into a tag like this: <"img src="xxxxxx"> replacing those x's with the address I copied. I just paste it in.
I hope that made sense. lol.
that's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the one above as it's very nice within the way it looks. It's nice on the eyes...
ReplyDeleteI agree, there is something with about the places that are from the past they have a history to them.
ReplyDeleteG'day again Jack,
ReplyDeleteAfter playing around for the past two hours I have worked it out thank you replytarvergen & Jack
for the tips tried it out on my page & it worked so here goes lol
My favourite photo of all time.
As technical gadgets are a bit out of my line & the camera heading the list, I asked a friend with a “good camera & lots of knowledge” to capture my Aunt’s sheep dog on the run in front of the ute, this is the result, we were at a cross track & she has captured the dog turning to check which direction we would take,
It is not so much the dog that captures my imagination as the intricate formation of his body in turning on the run, just makes me realise what a masterpiece the body mechanism is no matter who is wearing it .
You finally were able to do it Wendy! You are one that was and has been on my messenger for a long time and I tried to get invite you back on....but all that said - you did it!
ReplyDeleteThe agility of and the story behind this sheep dog is interesting.
I love this pic too:
ReplyDeleteView inside Alhambra. I loved the way the light played thru the high windows.
This is an amazing picture. Its 7:30 pm my time and I truly think this is amazing. How does one send or resend this out there and keep it in a continued space?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Alhambra may I ask?
I haven't figured it out yet.
ReplyDeleteThe Alhambra - palace and fortress complex of Spain's ancient Moorish rulers - is in the south of Spain in Granada. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra)
ReplyDeleteMy eldest sister and I spent 28 days in Spain on holiday a few yrs back and this is one of the beautiful sites that we visited while we were there.
You can use the same instructions that I posted in your blog below to repost an image, or you can just post a link back to the original image.
To post a link back to just the image, right click the image and select to copy the image location. Then paste that location where you want ... In multiply it should automatically convert it to a link.
If you want the image to repost, once you copy the image location, on the page where you want to post it, you paste the location (that you copied) into an image tag, which looks like this:
<img src="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">
- replace those x's with the location you copied. Paste it in by selecting Edit Paste from the browser menu OR by clicking Control-V (the shortcut for pasting). It will look like this:
<img src="http://images.tarvergen.multiply.com/image/24/photos/36/500x500/1/100-0985.JPG?et=IfBxWcuMOiLadtXPT3TUnQ&nmid=74414379">
That link points here:
Hope that made sense!
Interesting and this is a few flow for everyone. This is truly really nice and thank you for explaining as well for the assistance. It definately has been a busy day! This is not just for myself to reply to others can contribute as well as make there own mention as well. I thought I would mention this as now and then we can co create from all vantages around the world. Europe has something about it. Spain I do not know much about. However this is very nice - other people can add or just reply as well, but I am not pushing anyone, this is fun and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteLorna if you have a flickr account or a photo stream you can post a picture or what ever your imagination wishes to come up with. Look above and see what has been wrote and it's not that difficult.
ReplyDeleteImagine that people from all corners of the world for in some manner could do something. As simple as that is it's entirely sensational. I am certainly not the only one.
My intention with this blog was now and then to do a collective ensembe...
Mimi, I thank you for your help, and I created a link that may be something indefinite...So I thank you...
ReplyDeletela voila > http://initiativestain.multiply.com/links/item/8/INITIATIVE_STAIN_-_Picture_Challenge
I have lots of new pictures, if I ever get around to getting them posted. I have never embedded any of my pictures on someone elses page but I think I understand the process. My flickr account is closed so can't come off of that. Do you know if the embed codes come with pictures we have posted on Multiply from straight off our computers?
ReplyDeleteI went out on a winter safari today .. and took this one in your honor *wink*
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I did but your most certainly welcome lol
ReplyDeleteMerci, this is a picture the gives example of Canada. We have two different languages and we came to work it all out as well within Canada over the years. There is a different type history in Canada, it's one that is a good one.
ReplyDeleteTrudeau was a brilliant man and your province is the only place on this land that has a history of over 400 years.
