Digital projects online
I’ve joined the 365days group on Flickr. The idea is you take a self portrait digital photo of yourself everyday for a year. Quite a tall order, especially since I don’t really own a decent digital camera, but I figure there’s no time like the present so I guess I’ll just have to borrow one for a little bit. Here are my first two.
There are currently 3184 people around the world participating, they have so far shared 70 573 self portaits.
The photogamer activities yesterday have given me new enthusiasm to learn how to use a digital camera properly. There is a lot to learn and the best way by far is to do little projects. I’m hoping to use some digital manipulation tools also. I wonder is there a similar thing to photogamer for video?
Anthropology in the digital age
John Batelle interviews Michael Welsch assistant professor of Cultural Anthropology and who made this video explaining his take on what the web is. Here is what I said about it when I first saw it. Very interesting perspective.
