The Fuss About Gmail and Privacy

There has been a rash of recent editorials about privacy concerns with Google's gmail service. A number of organizations have asked Google to voluntarily suspend the service. One California legislator has gone so far as to say she plans to introduce a bill to ban it. This is nuts! A number of things to consider...

n个最糟糕的旅行目的地

1，北海，广西。以海景和海鲜闻名。对于从北方远道而来的游客而言，从这里出发去越南走一趟也是颇具吸引力的游程。真相∶最著名的银滩本就名不副实，海滩的长度很短，沙早就不白了，岸边有不计其数的烂尾楼。。。

First Epson R-D1 samples online: Digital Photography Review

http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2004/0621/dcr016.htm "This new article (published in Japanese) is a hands-on with the R-D1 and contains a set of (fairly average) samples taken with the camera in combination with a range of different prime lenses." Fade of the myth about Leica lenses with digital sensor. Leica Lenses were not optimised for digital, and R-D1 doesn't have much more in image processing. fairly average, and 1.6x, that's all.

Eye35 Digital Diary

2003 was a year of enormous change for us. We decided early in the year that technology was moving so fast it was innevitable that we would be capturing images digitally eventually...

Suzanne wants you to stop *"chimping" and start shooting!

* "chimping" can be loosely defined as "the act of reviewing digital images on the LCD screen" or "referring to the animal-like sound digital photographers' make when spotting a great shot on the back of their cameras" or "looking at the digital images you just took, when you should still be concentrating on taking them" !

牵着猴子走江湖

河南、陕西的摄影群体一直以浓郁的乡土特色和对社会底层人群的关注而引人瞩目。客观地说“黄土马家”并不是个天资聪颖的天才摄影师，然而他的勤奋和努力一直使我敬佩，他曾经为拍摄药农采药用简易的绳索将自己缒下百米陡岩；在这次拍摄江湖艺人的过程中，多次在数九隆冬和跑江湖的艺人一起扒货运火车，露宿街头，过着同样的流浪生活。也正是这样，他和江湖艺人结下了深厚的情意。。。

在大街上拍照　我克服不了心理障碍

我一直都不喜欢在大街上拍别人只拍个后脑勺，那样的照片，除非环境特别有气氛，或者事件本身特别幽默，否则是很没意思的。我喜欢ed van der elsken照片里那样的凝视…而这样的凝视也不是掠夺式的拍摄方式所能获得的。。。

Canon EOS-1D Mark II Review

The new Canon EOS-1D Mark II is the successor to the Canon EOS-1D which was announced and introduced at the end of 2001. This new generation of digital SLR almost doubles resolution with its new eight megapixel CMOS sensor, doubles the size of the continuous shooting buffer. Despite the advertised 8.5 fps the EOS-1D Mark II actually shoots at a maximum of 8.3 fps...
