Thanks to Ryan Prince for the link. This really does make me, as a photographer, think about the impact my images might have if taken into another context, or with a different commentary. A great editorial about the enduring power of the motionless image from the BBC. Originally shared by BBC News Will this window really be smashed? The power of the still image: http://bbc.in/1CePr1G

Thanks to John Samuel for this link. Originally shared by null VICE nails criticisms and myths about ABC soundly to the wall. Read it, ABC critics, and weep into your Australian. http://ow.ly/EU0EE

This is a Facebook-only contest, but the discussion around my complaint about that in the original posting is interesting, civil, and open.

Hey! No one has shared this Ira Glass quote in like, six months! So it's time to share it again. One of the hardest parts of self-publishing I've found is this: I am confident in my writing now, at least on the non-fiction side of things. But the other things you have to do to publish a book and get it out there? There is a big freaking gap between what I want and what I can do.

A great new initiative to help protect our marine environment. http://www.globalfishingwatch.org/

I laugh, only so I do not cry. Originally shared by John Samuel Right. So you know that dratted climate change thing that our PM doesn't think is worth discussing at all, let alone at the G20 Australia is hosting? Um. Well.

If you are wondering who to look for at today's walk, I'm the one with the Akubra ans the red blue and yellow sling bag.

For the record, They Might Be Giants rock in every way imaginable. No, you don't get an explanation.

A 'mountain wheelchair'? Sounds like a great idea to me! Originally shared by Alicia Smith https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gogrit/freedom-chair-the-adaptive-all-terrain-mobility-ma?ref=HappeningNewsletterNov0514 I think this is a good, fine, thing and while I don't need an all terrain wheelchair I'd like to boost the signal. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gogrit/freedom-chair-the-adaptive-all-terrain-mobility-ma?ref=HappeningNewsletterNov0514

Somewhat more cheerful - an official drone video of the workings of a major international airport.  Thanks to Ryan Prince for spotting this. Originally shared by Ryan Prince Mesmerising. http://petapixel.com/2014/10/31/heres-can-capture-camera-drone-major-airport/

And the official initial announcement from Virgin. One pilot has since been taken to hospital with serious injuries, and the other confirmed as having died. Again, my deepest sympathies to the families, and I hope the injured test pilot makes a full recovery. Originally shared by Virgin Galactic Virgin Galactic's partner Scaled Composites conducted a powered test flight of SpaceShipTwo earlier today.  During the test, the vehicle suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle.  The WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft landed safely. Our first concern is the status of the pilots, which is unknown at this time.  We will work closely with relevant authorities to determine the cause of this accident  and provide updates as soon as we are able to do so.

Thanks to John Samuel for the alert. Sadly the tweets are accurate, and Spaceship Two (but not White Knight Two) has suffered a catastrophic failure, and crashed. At least one pilot ejected, but only one has survived, albeit with major injuries. I hope the survivor recovers, and my deepest sympathies to the families and everyone at Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composites. http://abc7.com/news/virgin-galactic-rocket-explodes-in-flight-over-mojave-desert/375054/ Originally shared by John Samuel I'm seeing reports on twitter of a failure of SpaceshipTwo with possible loss of life. Sympathies to the families involved. I'm still hopeful that this will be unsubstantiated, but I'm increasingly fearful that it IS true (multiple sources are reporting). A bad week for aerospace.
