TASK 7 - IMAGE GENERATOR

FERRET IN JAIL

Found an image on "Funny Sign Generator" http://captions.illmeyer.com/ and added a caption that reflects my feelings regarding 23 Things. Though the process of finishing each task is time consuming there is a slight sense of achievement when I can finally sigh....."another one hit the dust".

The learning curve is too much like the "Big Dipper" and I am more of a "Ferris Wheel" sort of person.

TASK 6 - MORE FLICKR

This new technology does bring out the creative genius in some. Found a wonderful Mashup on Flickr titled - Europe Photo Helix.



It is a helix designed of Flickr photos of sights and interesting spots in Europe taken by respective photographers. See http://mapito.eu/

A click of the mouse on any screenshot shows a full view of photo and info. Love the combination of many beautiful shots taken by different photographers worldwide.

My hat goes off to not only the designers of these fabulous tools but also to the talent of the people who are able to use them effectively and create some really great works of art. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Flickr group for this project is : www.flickr.com/groups/europephotohelix/

TASK 5 - FLICKR

Whilst exploring FLICKR found many amazing and spectacular photostreams. Decided to do a search on old churches, because of my interest in art and pre modern architecture. Love the character and detail. Anyhow, one particular photo attracted my attention an abandoned Viking Church found along the shores of Lake Michigan.

This prompted me to look further into the work of this very creative and young artist/photographer.

Her website: http://www.bottlebellphotography.com/ shows some very unusual and haunting work. Check out The Gallery - in particular - Forgotten and Moodscapes. Loved it.

TASK 4 - COMMENTS ON BLOGS

Must say the standard of Blogs created by vu-Library group is excellent.
In particular "Sir Sic Chicken" blog, post titled "SHHhhh" holds some hidden truth for library people. Check out the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyLTqBARFt8 - Ninja Librarian.

Staying on the same theme the "Buddhist Monkey " finds a way of handling disrespectful students. Worth watching.
