pinhole photo, Santa Clara, California
I love photography, I study photography, and I make a lot of photos. I share a new photo on Flickr almost every day, and I also have a portfolio and a (rarely-used) Instagram. Or, if you prefer, I will mail you prints.
Here are some interesting web pages I have found:
As a side-effect of me having produced a lot of Open Source code over a substantial period, and that my code has been used in billions of products and devices, my name and email address are also shown in a lot of places. Usually as a direct result of license compliance when a manufacturer insert for example the curl license in the "About Window" of a car infotainment system.The emails are usually unpleasant. He includes examples.
The Last Dyes at David Zwirner marks the final group of photographs ever produced using this vanished process. When Kodak discontinued the dyes, paper, and matrix film in the early 1990s, Eggleston and his master printers Guy Stricherz and Irene Malli began hoarding materials. For the past 25 years, they've been rationing the last reserves. Now they're gone. These prints represent the extinction of a medium made relevant in the fine art realm by Eggleston, now 85 and still working.
Good evening.Just your latest reminder that our president is a wannabe fascist dictator.
On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings.
I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one—certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve—is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure.
This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role; the Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.
This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.
I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do, with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.
Thank you.
