A Google designer visits the Stern Pinball factory, takes cool pictures. (This also marks the first time I’ve linked to Google+.) [via]
Three surreal, though unrelated photo galleries: Chernobyl disco, LA sci-fi convention in 1980 and abandoned doll factory in Spain.

Alt Text on the retro iPhone photography craze. (Side note: How long has it been since I linked to Alt Text? And why? It’s consistently great.)
Without the twee, self-congratulatory filters, it looked like a photo of garbage. With the twee, self-congratulatory filters it looked — well, twee and self-congratulatory. But it also looked less like a documentary of urban blight and more like — and I hate this word with a passion — art. It looked — and I hate this word even more — good.
My brain apparently loves photography that looks like a dog peed on it in 1968. This is disturbing and embarrassing to me. It’s like getting an erection at the petting zoo.
If anyone has an invite for Google’s Pool Party app, please hook me up. Thanks.

Looking at Sontag’s On Photography in context of today’s world.
Her solution was to call for “an ecology of images,” and it is hard to think of an appeal that has gone more spectacularly unheeded. A cursory glance away from the words you are reading now — whether you are reading them on a tablet, a desktop or a sheaf of inked pages — will confirm that nothing like the “conservationist remedy” Sontag called for has even been formulated, much less applied. The current slogan for packaging disposable commodities may be “reduce, reuse, recycle,” but in the domain of the image, two out of three only makes matters worse. To clip, copy and paste an existing picture is also, after all, to make a new picture, and thus to contribute to the global glut.

In Focus is the new Big Picture. (No word on what this means for the Big Caption… not that it’s been updated since August anyway.)
How much is Flickr worth to Yahoo! and should we be worried about it’s future?
Should Flickr users be worried about their photos? In the short term, maybe not – but in the long term, something’s going to need to change. Either we all start storing our media in easy-to-use cloud systems, or we bend our knee to the mighty Facebook, or we come up with systems that make transfer of our digital assets between institutions as easy in the future as it is to move our financial assets between financial institutions today.

They are violating the iStock user agreement, so I probably shouldn’t endorse this, but Domestic Conflict, Explained By Stock Photos is good stuff.
