As many of you know, the MTA is proposing to ban all photography on New York City subways. This probably pisses a lot of you off, myself included, even though some of us might be slightly less from NYC than others. Anyway, The Village Voice is running a contest worth a $100 bucks in Metrocards if you happen find yourself illegally shooting pictures under the streets of the capital of the world.

Wear your heart on your sleeve and show your patriotism to our great country.
disclosure.ca is a growing collection of photographs that explore Canada and what it means to be Canadian. Disclosure's ultimate goal is to eventually have contributions from every territory, province, city and town within Canada, but we can't do so without your help. Therefore we're asking that you take a moment to look over the site and contribute your favourite Canadian pics; this can include just about anything, as long as it's related to our wonderful country in one way or another.
The individual that submits the best photo this year will win $100CDN!
Paul is also urging everyone to participate in the Canada Day Challenge. On July 1st, pull out your cameras and share your country with the rest of the world.

I shoot hundreds of images a week, some which I love, some which I like and plenty I just want to share with my viewers just because. What always surprises me about my photoblog, photojunkie.ca, is that people tend to leave plenty of comments on images that I feel are "okay" but not that many comments on photos that I think are my "best work." I know everyone has preferences, but sometimes I have to question my taste in choices.
In either case, I currently have over 25 images uploaded and ready to post. Some are fairly recent and some are actually more than a few weeks old. So I thought I would clear out the pictures today and post them all. Probably staggered through out the rest of today.
I have a series of questions for everyone.
How do you decide what to post from all the shots you have taken?
With seven days in the week, Do you only post one photo a day?
Why do you think most photobloggers only post a photo a day?
Do you have a favorite photo that you have taken this year so far?
Please feel free to share your personal favorites from your site. I'm interested to see how people view their own work. I however am still undecided, there are plenty that I like a lot, sometimes I'm simply my own worst critic.

If you watch as many photoblogs as I do, you know that the most interesting thing about them, besides the photos themselves, is how they allow you to watch an artist develop a relationship with their art over the months and years. Sometimes they lose interest and stop posting for awhile. Sometimes they'll struggle through creatively stagnant periods. Most try to progress. Some do. Some don't. Occasionally one will blossom. Adam just blossomed.
Adam's street photography at inconduit.com has always been great, and I have always admired his fearlessness amongst strangers as he strives to grab moments of intimate humanity seen in the crowd. People with their guard down, like this couple. But last month the maturity of his art deepened noticeably, almost suddenly.
In the first half of May, these appeared: bw612.jpg, bw619.jpg, bw620.jpg, bw621.jpg, and col550.jpg. Then came the May 27 and May 29 galleries which contained nothing but stellar work: subtle and not so subtle photos about different kinds of relationships and moments of surreal beauty. Each of these 12 photos offer something to contemplate by an artist now coming into his own.

As many of you know, my photoblog DailySnap.com recently suffered a week's down time because my laptop broke (don't worry, it's back online!). I had nothing backed up, and lost a lot of data. And it got me thinking about my commenting service.
I currently use HaloScan.com for my photo's comments. I like it, but what if they crash down? What if it becomes non-profitable and the site goes offline? Etc... I update my site manually (that is, there's no MoveableType, Blogger, TypePad, etc.) and need a good commenting service. What other commenting scripts, services, tips do you recommend? I would like something that I can host on my own site that's easy to install and use, that doesn't depend on a third party. Anyone? Thanks in advance everyone...
