Man With Cock
Standing around outside our casa in Trinidad, friends pointed out this old gentleman walking up the street. I waited despite their cries for “take a photo”, till he had passed me. He looked as if he had a long, hard life, but was obviously quite happen with his bird in the hand.

Cuba 2008
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cuba. Of course I took my trusty Nikon with me, so over the next few days I will upload a few of the images that I captured. Starting off is this typical street scene of Habana

Using Adobe Lightroom with Flickr Uploader
My everyday laptop runs Ubuntu, however for photo editing, I still use and prefer Photoshop. Now since I’ve gone digital, I’ve gone out an bought Adobe Lightroom. I also use Flickr a lot, so I wanted to work flickr uploader into LightRoom. One trick Adobe missed was having a decent plugin system for Lightroom, hopefully they will reconsider this in subsequent releases, however I suspect they will want to run their own little Flickr clone at some stage.
Anyhow, to get flickr integrated into lightroom, simple do the following
- Download and install Flickr Uploader
- Copy the desktop shortcut created and paste it to c:\Documents And Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Actions
- Fireup Lightroom
- Select a photo, then select export
- At the bottom of the export window, in Post Processing, select Flickr Uploader
- Your done
Its making my life a lot easier already. Enjoy.

A member of the Reclaim the Streets group delivers a statment after claims that gardai attaked them during a peaceful protest in May 2002 (AFAIR)
This photo is one of 10,000 from my archive that I am slowly scanning. Fuji Neopan 400. No idea about anything else now

The best (and quickest) $30 I have ever spent
I was having a quick conversation with Donnacha about a few things today and I mentioned something about Amazon S3. Which of course led to the inevitable discussion about the recent outage there. So we chatted and he sent me a few mails and a link to Barry’s blog on Wordpress.
What I was interested in was the AWS post, but as I read the comments/trackbacks I noticed a link to http://blog.animoto.com/. The name was cool so I said I would check it out, as I sometimes do still “surf round” from time to time.Alas I got a 404 for the post, but me being curious persisted and I substituted the blog for www and have never been so happy that I did. Animoto is a cooler than cool web service that allows the user to upload photos or point them at their flickr/facebook photos then they select or upload their own mp3 and hey presto a few min later you have a video montage of your photos.
