This is todays B-Side. I shot it on my way out of McDonalds. I love the colors and I would have put it as picture of the day but Nat thinks I already have too many McDonalds related pictures. Sucks.

Via Kottke, here is a link to pictures on flickr taken by putting the camera in long exposure mode and then tossing it up in the air. [Link]

This is another picture I took from the scene of this car wreck which I just posted about on Miskan. As you can see, the other half of the car is lying on the other side of the street.

Cool.. Kevin Smith’s Flickr Account.

Update: Who is Keven Smith? He produced Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Good Will Hunting, Dogma and more. He starred in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (he was Silent Bob), Mallrats, Chasing Amy and more. For more info check him out on IMDB.

I received the following email from jetblast2k:

Hi Mark, we usually know our aircrafts by their tail number, but today I noticed the nickname of 9K-ANC, an A340-300 of KAC, and took this shot for you. Check the [Link]

I was surprised to find out that Kuwait Airways planes had nicknames and I was really surprised to find out that one is called Miskan (although they spell it Meskan). Next time I fly with KA I will try to find out the nickname of the plane I am going to be flying with. If you have never seen the pictures taken by jetblast2k you should since he has some really wonderful stuff. [Link]

Note: For those of you who don’t know, Miskan is a photography project I currently involved in. [Link]

This is a sad post on how Yahoo! taking over flickr is destroying what made flickr great in the first place. The post mentions 23HQ (23 People) as an alternative which I posted about back in June and which although doesn’t provide as much features as Flickr at the moment they are adding new stuff all the time. Anyway check out the post and then check out 23HQ if you haven’t already. [Link]

Wow this site is amazing, it has amatuer pictures of Kuwait from the early 70’s to the early 80’s. I love stuff like this!! [Link]

Found this picture I took back in 91 of the old Marriott hotel which was burnt by the Iraqis. I have more pictures of other buildings that were destroyed but I cant seem to find them anywhere. Anyway click here if you want to view the above picture in hi-res.

A few months ago I was able to gather a whole bunch of pictures from after the invasion which I found online and uploaded to a flickr account. If you want to see those click here.

A man all by himself shooting pictures of passers-by might look somewhat suspicious, but a man and a woman taking pictures is completely harmless. [via]

This is todays B-Side from the airport. Photographers and reporters were swarming around this chick in a cap who seemed to be someone famous. Click here to view the orignal post on Miskan.

An interesting photo pool on flickr on food that looks really gross to eat, some nasty stuff there. [Link]

Note: This is my favorite [pic]

Flickr Fireworks Fun

WOW, this is unbelievable… an artist swallowed a pill-sized camera that photographically auto-documented its journey through his body, taking 65,000 photographs in seven and a half hours. The picures are stunning! [Link]

How does a 4 billion mega pixel picture taken by a digital camera look like? Unbelievable, check this link out. [Link]

Seems like an interesting site, haven’t had time to fully check it though. They recently setup a forum where photographers can share pictures and tips.[Link]
