Warren got me to try Google photos. Love it.
I’m using the free (for now) service. Uploading all my photos, all time.
Click PLAY or see how it works on YouTube.
I’m going to maintain my flickr account, as well. I’ve got tens of thousands of my best pics there already.
Wei works in a factory in Yiwu, eastern China, coating polystyrene snowflakes with red powder. He wears a Christmas hat to protect his hair, and goes through at least six face masks a day.
According to the Chinese government press agency, 600 factories in Yiwu produce around 60 percent of the world’s Christmas decorations. The factories are staffed largely by migrant laborers, who work 12-hour days for between 270 and 400 euros a month. Wei, who comes from rural Guizhou, 1,500 kilometers away, is not entirely sure what Christmas is, but thinks that it is a foreigners’ form of Chinese New Year.
I saw that award winning photo at the 58th World Press Photo contest exhibition in London.
Granada’s most famous street artist is Raúl Ruiz (better known as El Niño de las Pinturas). I took a walking tour to see some the work in the Realejo quarter near his home.
In 2013 Granada named a small plaza just outside his house after Joe Strummer of The Clash, a long-time admirer of the city and a regular visitor in the 1980s and ’90s. Ruiz spray-painted a mural.
The high resolution versions of all my photos are on Flickr.

“Our most valuable resource sits 63 feet ahead” … That would be the insurance adjuster, sitting on the roadway in front of the truck, head slowly shaking side to side.
One of the highlights of a visit to this tropical nation are the flowers and colourful plants. They remind me of Hawaii.
Costa Rica’s national flower, the guaria morada (Guarianthe skinneri), is an exquisite orchid known for its purple hues and diamond-like shimmer. … blooms from January through April …
I posted high resolution versions of my flower pics on Flickr.

A friend of Warren Long captured this image. I can’t recall seeing any better from the city.

I use iPhoto for Mac uploading the best pics to a Flickr Pro account.
iPhoto is pretty crappy, but the alternatives were worse, so far as I was concerned.
Happily, the new Apple photo management app is getting good reviews. I can hardly wait. I may even turn iCloud back on when it arrives.
