A teenage girl comes to school for the yearbook photo shoot wearing a skirt but wears no panties. She sits in the front row and doesn't cross her legs. The yearbook gets published and distributed to school families. The girl's Sharon Stone basic instinct is fully displayed on the photo and her parents are embarrassed. They demand the school recalls and destroys the books and reprints them. Who's to take the blame and pay for the reprint costs? The family? The photographer? The school?

Why fly when there's Photoshop?
Have Americans lost their minds? Here's a high-IQ question. Did terrorists take down all legal copies of Photoshop from FAA computers Or did they they just hack into officials' common-sense and replaced it with a sick sense of humor?
Before asking why it had to fly Low, I want to ask why Air Force One, escorted by two F-16s, had to actually fly over the New York skyline in order to take shots of the plane! Couldn't an intern edit the photo without authorizing an expensive photo-op flight over NY? I thought there is an economic crisis going on. These flights cost money and if they are not necessary they should not be authorized on economic grounds, not to mention New Yorkers sensibilities.
That was a sick joke for New Yorkers and if Osama-Bin-Laden is reading the story from his laptop cave, he is probably emailing the FAA, the CIA and the White House asking them to authorize low photo-op flights over Pakistan. Like Obama, he must be furious old images of him are still circulating in the media years after 9/11. If Osama's spokesman states that his boss is upset the CIA circulates old copies of him to the media, I am ready to accept that the Afghani guy is actually more grounded in his request than the FAA officials that authorized the flight.
I want to also prepare myself not to be surprised if Osama, out of empathy for the economic pain felt by millions of Americans announces that he is willing to pay for the cost of those photo-op flights over Pakistan.
I don't know what you think of this incident but I think it was a very sick joke to play on New Yorkers and also rude to everyone else suffering in this crisis.
If Americans are running out of common-sense sensitivity, what happened to their common-sense economic sensibility?
What's wrong with using Photoshop?

Shouldn't photography exhibits go online?

This thought came to me at a photography exhibit. All photos on display were actually taken by digital cameras. If photos are digital what's the point of printing them when you can upload them and exhibit them online for the whole world to see? Shouldn't photography exhibits go online?
A photo exhibition in physical space is limited in the sense that only few people can go visit and see it. I think the concept of an online museum, where possible, should replace physical spaces or at the very least complement them.

Use Picasa for Google Earth photos

I am a great fun of Google and its software. I use Picasa to organize my photos and Google Earth to look up addresses or places I want to go to. I noticed that Google Earth allows users to upload photos using this service called Panoramio but the photos you can see are limited. Why don't they use their own software Picasa instead?
I think it would have been much better if Google Earth users could have access to Picasa users' photos that are public. This way there would be a larger supply of photos to choose from and more variety for the end-user.
