I upgraded my blog engine a few days ago to version 2.6 and I hope no one noticed it. 
The whole thing went so extremely smoothly with the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin that I couldn’t help but donated a few bucks to its author Keith Dsouza.
Thanks Keith.

No personal experience with it so far just letting you know that Lightroom 2 can be downloaded and tried or purchased now.
A summary of the new things in Lightroom 2 can be read here at Lightroom Journal and my surprises with the beta version here.
Furthermore I’m planning to buy Scott Kelby’s new book The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers.

I saw recently a picture of a woman cloned multiple times on Flickr Explore. It immediately reminded me to Rebekka’s works. Surprisingly the picture was not hers. The picture was made by Miss Aniela.
Both of these talented and hardworking photographer ladies are making their photos on their own usually without any help or assistance. Both of them make quite a few self portraits. Their work is artistic, sometimes mystic and slightly erotic. Both of them have a couple of pictures of themselves showing them in multiple instances. Both have a Flickr set with these multiplicity photos. Here is Rebbeka’s and here Miss Aniela’s.
Inspiration? Trend? Or something else?
Search for the word multiplicity on Flickr.
Update update update update
Some time after publishing this post I tried to find it on Google. (Google is extremely fast with indexing new Web content these days. After 30 minutes or so I can find my things. Selfish? )
I tried to search with these words: rebekka inspiration multiplicity and apart from finding my own article I found – to my surprise – Miss Aniela’s blog and specifically a post she wrote about Flickr photographers who inspired her. And yes, Rebekka was one of them.
So I got the answer. It’s inspiration.

Back in January this year I wrote about that a photo I took in London got published.

Originally I thought that this post would have nothing to do with photography. Then I realized that it is extremely easy to relate since it is about creativity, creativity as Sir Ken Robinson sees it.
I saw references to Sir Ken Robinson’s speeches on Presentation Zen that I’ve been reading regularly for a few years now. In his talk below he is speaking about creativity and education. If you have 20 spare minutes watch it, otherwise just read further.

During my summer holiday I noticed the posters of the coming “Crazy Motorcycle Weekend”. The venue of the event was that very village where we have been with my family. I decided to go there and shoot a few gigabytes.
I just went there and asked at the check-in desk if it was OK If I go in for shooting. They told me OK and gave me a free pass for my word that I would send them from the photos I make in return. See the results clicking on the picture. Slightly NSFWish.
The music is from AudioJungle which is a great royalty free microstock music and sound store.
