Dear Googles
If it was your intention to make things simpler and/or easier so as to entice new users, you might not really understand the meaning of simple or easy. Seriously - every thing is now more complicated and well hidden. Well, except for the things that are now completely impossible of course. Thanks though for a pretty good run. It was fun and while we may never have had Paris, we did have some laughs.

Damn ! Just posting up a howdy has turned into a project.

Me: It’s almost Thanksgiving, Stella, and I was just wondering: What are you thankful for?

Stella: What does “thankful” mean? Is that Italian? Is that like an olive or cheese?

I know I do.

I'm finding the new g+ to be completely without merit. I just can't see any reason to do anything except look at Mr Jingles and maybe an occasional hashtag themed picture.

Any suggestions on where to go from here ?

I’d like to pass on a note of request to our freelance contributors due to a worldwide policy change.. In future, please don’t send photos to Reuters that were processed from RAW or CR2 files. If you want to shoot raw images that’s fine, just take JPEGs at the same time. Only send us the photos that were originally JPEGs, with minimal processing (cropping, correcting levels, etc).

Yes this was a challenge. I took a lot of shots, mostly outdoors. I read a bunch of articles. There were even a few that were fairly critical, though they all added up to taste over technique issues. Anyway, I set up a little test stand and tried near, far and a few auto, focus shots and this one is (or seems to me anyway) to be focused about 12-14 feet out.
Oh - and my wife is now certain that I'm crazy...

I have finally arrived safe at my temporary landing spot in Morristown NJ. I will be spending the next week scrambling for a job and a place to live somewhere in the area of nyc. If anyone knows someone looking for a roomie or to sublet or whatnot and can take dogs let me know! :)

Paul Bagley I saw your Ghost Paramedic image shared on facebook. It was posted by someone I don;t know to a page I don't follow and it's cropped and might be edited too I think. The page was California Fire Dept Chaplains or something and the poster has it as a timeline post in his photos at https://www.facebook.com/rex.evans.92/photos
