seeing that green pop up in the contacts stream, i get that it has something to do with the bullshit going on in iran, but for the rest i don't get it. aparently i am not the only one. maybe someone cares to explain?
after being a bit positive about photographic improvement lately this morning i woke up demotivated and this grew when logging into the flickr and looking at the first page of my stream. pffff, maybe i need to shoot less and go for inspiration this weekend. there is enough to do
still havent been here: www.dreamamsterdam.nl/ , www.nyperspectives.com/ and the new exhibtis in www.foam.nl.
and i guess if it's sunny tomorrow morning there might not be a huge line to get into the world press photo exhibit.

While I understand the desire to show support for those who are standing up for their voice to be heard, I can't help but wonder whether 'western' support via the internet won't just play into the hands of those who say that the protests are really led from the west? It's a tricky one.

Annie.. The incumbent is the 'baddie' the other is the 'not-so-baddie'. But the issue as I see it, is not so much about who is better, but who actually won the election - it appears that there has been a big case of election fraud by the government.
My concern is that there should be an open and honest election result, and the use of the green can be seen to be supporting the opposition, rather than the fair process.

fido, about what you said earlier... just read an article on iran goverment wanting to sue iran companies that 'cause tension' and say they are supported by the west.
it's tough. i am not sure i agree with you completely, but it does feel pretty useless just uplaoding a bit of green.
on a brighter note (after foreign journalists found their visa withdrawn and themselves thrown out of the country pretty soon after the 'winner' of the elections was decalred. and after facebook being blcoked before the elections) i read this other article this morning on how twitter is playing a big role in people in iran supporting each other in protest and spreading images of police brutality. this might be old news if you actually are on twitter, i dunno, but it's good to see this internet community thing be used for something useful for a change.
wish it wasn't necessary for it to be useful, though.

Man I hear ya bryan. I did that last night - I'm up to ~600 images and counting from our recent three day family camping trip, and I've got a few rolls left to go. Now that I'm looking at them I'm thinking I should be able to get by on 10% of the shooting I do, and use that 10% very differently from what I'm currently doing.

I'd guess the green is more symbolic of denouncement of the restrictions and other encumbrances placed on "reporters" (i.e. pros and new media micro blogging "journalists") not so much siding with one side or the other.

I understand that from our perspective, yes, that's what it is, and that's a good thing, but from the Iranian perspective I think it is seen as picking sides, which I don't think is going to help the cause so much..

OK, have read up. I already didn't like Iran's current administration, like them even less now.
However, I am concerned that Iran is now one step closer to becoming the new Iraq. Not that anyone even has the resources to invade, but ya know. This huge international interest, I don't know what to think... I'm glad Iranians are marching in the streets, injustice seems to have been done and they need to bring change... but the international newswires are in a frenzy. Why so much more interest in this botched election than others?

So on Twitter, I think it's a supportive display to show the people in Iran who are attempting to get information out through social media channels that there are people listening who support the risks they are taking. And I don't find that ridiculous at all...

Annie: That's the thing, isn't it? The left-of-center aren't eager to think about this, but Neoconservatism was born of the left, out of a desire to see a certain -- theoretically more "fair" -- system triumph globally, and out of the delusion that western lifestyles and governments represent the "end of history."
If and when Iraq stabilizes, its government will look very much like Iran's, and the two will be natural Shia allies. According to Seymour Hersh at the New Yorker, the US is currently trying to undermine the Iranian government by funding Sunni extremists there... So some of our tax dollars are going to Sunni terrorists in Iran, while other tax dollars are going toward fighting Sunni terrorists in Iraq. [Another common phrase for "Sunni terrorist network": Al-Qaeda. So those guys who bombed us are now our allies against Iran. Great.]
Long story short: I've funded/am funding quite enough fucking-up of that region right now. I'm gonna sit this one out.

This statement, to me prays on ignorance. There were some irregularities, but it was verydifferent. Chads and recounts. At least there were about 3 recounts all with slight advantages in the eventual winner's favor. Mr Gore initially only wanted recounts in counties which heavily favored him, his adversary wanted the same advantage and wanted recounts only in counties which turned for him. Had either really wanted fairness, they would have asked for a state-wide recount --but neither did for fear they would actually lose in a statewide recount --too much uncertainty. In any event, the challenger did concede victory to his adversary. This is not what we are seeing now. So, to compare the two instances as similar is quite deceptive.
Nevertheless, there was due process. Some of us might not have liked the result of the process, but it was more or less fair.
What really upset people in Iran, from what I can tell (via tweets, etc.) was that no sooner had the polls closed than a winner had been announced --more or less mocking the whole electoral system. As if the results were predetermined. People (the electorate there) don't mind that the favorite (of the power structure) might have had some handicap in his favor, that's kind of expected in those parts of the world, but that the electorate was completely dismissed. They called the elections just as polls closed. That's to say, it's not possible to count all ballots real-time. That's what goaded people. They felt their votes had been dismissed out of hand. Not even a kind of semblance of fairness.
Am off to read some more. Who do I trust? CNN? BBC? Al Jazeera? The Telegraph? France 24? I don't know.

RE. the election result: I don't know how to listen to the people or consider the result without the aid of a third party. I'm on Twitter for the first time ever and it's just an overwhelming flow of voices. Some for, some against, some saying things which don't make sense whichever way you look at it. I'm not trying to belittle the movement, for that's what I believe this could be, I just don't feel I can trust all the information I'm receiving.
Regardless of the election result, its clear that the people of Iran are having their human rights breached at this exact moment in time. Clampdowns on media, social networking, communications. Clampdowns on protesters. That shit is inexcusable and the government needs to loosen its grip.

maartyn: actually, the US Supreme Court ruled that Florida could not do a statewide recount because their methods did not adhere to a federal standard. Taken to its natural conclusion, of course, this ruling would invalidate all elections in the United States. It was therefore farcical, regardless of political disposition.
edit: I mean, your point is definitely true of the election's immediate aftermath, but the final federal judgement was a sham.

krameroneill ..."federal standard" Are you referring to the "safe harbor" deadline? Not sure. Anyhow, representatives, from Florida, post-SCOTUS decision, at certification time, had the opportunity to object to the SCOTUS decision on state-wide recounts --and have a wider recount instated. No senator rose to second the objections -as would be required by law to precede the SCOTUS decision on recounts. Keep in mind, the statewide recount was dismissed because it was projected it would have taken the rendering past the safe harbor date --something which would not have been an issue had Messrs Gore and Bush asked to statewide recount at the outset. Therefore, it's my opinion it was not all that farcical. I do think they took the easy way out of the controversy, and, in that sense one can consider it a "cop-out"; however, use of this kind of technicality is not unusual in the decisions rendered at the SCOTUS (and even lower courts). It's the institution that granted rights to abort a foetus based on privacy, rather than more robust common law precedents.
Moreover, electoral post-mortem suggests that by almost all standards of recounting (overcounts/undercounts interpretation) Mr Bush would have still come out victorious. There were still some scenarios where Mr Gore would have won, but those are at the long tail.
Still, when there is less than one tenth of one per-cent divergence in voting, it's hard to claim disenfranchisement in the process. The machine Mr Gore had on the ground was pathetic/not well organized, from what I understood. I believe it was his lack of attention to that state which cost him and how he was loath to leverage Mr Clinton --still he almost made but for a few hundred votes. I think he's trying to make up for his mistakes by trying to save us form Climate Change. I hope he is better prepared at that.

Ben: Hell yeah it's boring. Slow day at work, though, so:
maartyn: In answer to your question, I guess that would be the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Want to read something really boring? "The recount mechanisms implemented in response to the decisions of the Florida Supreme Court do not satisfy the minimum requirement for non-arbitrary treatment of voters necessary to secure the fundamental right," and later: "Upon due consideration of the difficulties identified to this point, it is obvious that the recount cannot be conducted in compliance with the requirements of equal protection and due process without substantial additional work. [...] Because it is evident that any recount seeking to meet the December 12 date will be unconstitutional for the reasons we have discussed, we reverse the judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida ordering a recount to proceed."
(From the Supreme Court majority opinion.)

krameroneill IIRC, the 20 or so representatives from FL did protest on those grounds during the certification of the electoral votes. As required by law, such objection (to overrule the SCOTUS's decision on statewide recount) would have only needed one USSenator to sponsor such objection. However, none did so. So, unless there was massive corruption, such as collusion of some type, it appears that was more or less political grandstanding by the reps--or perhaps they truly believed wronging, but no Senator thought it was egregious enough to object. And, if there was collusion, then the point is moot.
My main point, in my original response, was that it's unfair and quite dishonest to compare the situation in Iran to the situation that was in 2000. There are vast differences that ought not be trivialized and glossed over for impact.
1. Mr Gore conceded victory to his opponent. 2. There were about three different recounts -the fourth was invalidated by the SCOTUS on technical grounds (the merits of that are debatable). 3. There was an opportunity to overrule the SCOTUS's decision to forgo a final statewide recount, but that opportunity was waived by all Senators. 4. The difference in votes amounted to chance -the flip of a coin (fewer than 1000 votes made the difference -probably less that the amount of votes erroneously submitted to the unintended candidate). And finally, people protested and vented and showed their displeasure w/o fear of consequences. Given these points, I cannot see how the two events can be compared.
I didn't see massive fraud and rigging as is claimed happened in the recent events in the ME. As I've mentioned before, people in Iran were hopeful, but not overly expecting the opposition to win in Iran, what really inflamed them was the apparent dismissal of the process and belittling of the voters and opposition and claiming they were agents of foreign govt's. Essentially, it's as if the powers there didn't want to bother with covering up what appears to have been a sham.
Sure, we can be upset with the results and upset with the antiquated technology we use for voting, but those are minor issues.
Some dolts resorted to the silly notion that 3rd party candidates contributed to Mr Gore's defeat --as if they didn't have the same right to run as anyone else. I can guess that those who objected to 3rd party candidates as spoilers have no such complaints when "spoilers" spoil it for the opposition --that is to say, such objections are usually desperate and dishonest. But that's an altogether other topic.

Consoled myself by eating a huge dollop of Dixon's ice cream, the best ice cream in Yorkshire without a doubt.

Five hours of feeling a bit nauseous, and a couple of hours recovering from feeling a bit nauseous. Wont be doing that again in a hurry...

Fuck, I just got my first roll of Kodachrome back from Duane's. Wonder when they'll stop developing it.

@chris:
"Because of the complexity, only Dwayne's Photo, in Parsons, Kan., still processes Kodachrome film. The lab has agreed to continue through 2010, Kodak said."

peter eavis is the only person i know of on flickr that shoots a lot of kodachrome so i guess he'll have to find something else.

Awesome, thanks. Perhaps I'll get a few more rolls.

I've been debating on buying a few rolls, but now I think I won't, if only to keep myself from falling into depressed longing should kodachrome turn out just as wonderful as everyone says.

Off work after nocturnal puking session (sun stroke?), feeling somewhat weak today, but had a note from Peak to say my missing roll is in the post.

Will be laid off as of Wednesday next week. I'm at least relieved to know, rather than worry that it might happen. Now I can get on with updating my resume and all that.

@Mark: Sorry man. I've been there before. Tough times. I became a photographer after that. Still tough times...

@ben: just found that I can do it locally at the same price, plus they scan for cheaper! (cardiff, sweet cardiff) I mostly needed scans good enough for sequencing... and then rescanning the keepers...

listening to Weegee tell me how: from "Famous Photographers Tell How" from 1958.
Also Cartier Bresson uploaded though that's less good as most of us have heard and or seen him speak... but never the less cool.
