Being a photographer I feel like a sucker at most times, when my friends to friend of friends download my photo and upload to their profile on Facebook and don’t pass on the due credits.
It just happens all the time for a photographer alone. I have fought with a close friend right on Facebook and indeed lost the entire confidence of his family. I lost him.
But the worst thing is that other professionals are not vulnerable to this kind of attack.
Why me?

How I got interested in Photography ?
Photography is my passion now my livelihood. I have faint remembrance of yashica electro 35 a range finder, film camera which was a proud and prestigious possession of my uncle who had just returned from gulf. The best part is that very few camera owners knew about the working technology. Most of them flaunt by taking few clicks of their relatives,friends and soon on. Finally when they are broke would sell them off.
I own one such vintage camera after my marriage. My father in law, who was a proud owner, never sold it nor gifted it to me or rather say that i forcibly took it from him for the love of photography.
For my 1st son’s birthday I bought a Olympus sp 500uz power shot type camera which was slightly better than the point and shoot. That marked the end of film rolls at my place. What I loved this camera was the macro shots and manual controls which a dslr has but had to dig in to menus to get the right settings.
When my 2nd sons was born I was still hanging around with my Olympus, a colleague brought a canon 1000D he took few photos of us. The picture quality and the results prompted me to buy the Dslr.
So I bought my canon 500D been shooting since 2007.
I always wanted to set out early in the morning for my photo shoots. Learnt that I had to kick two of my bad habits
The side effects of late night alcohol consumption is that, if you tend to wake early you have bad head ache, yes I meant the hang over. Were as for the Cigarettes, if you smoked early morning, you know what happens, Nature call you first. lol.
Now I pass the blog tag to

Remember my last post, I did say about Desktop software and SAS. Here is my personal experience with Facebook on what things went well, silently and I am happy about it.
If you need to feel the similar experience, of course you need have a profile on Facebook and one more page like the one I have on photography
Here is the experience
On the old facebook pages, When I posted few photos on my photography site and shared the album on my profile. What happens is that people click on likes and comment on them, but two version as such, meaning. Let me say I share my photography page album on a friends wall, presumably photos pertaining to him. His friends make comment on his wall, as a photographer, The likes and comments don’t get passed to you, meaning it doesn’t get highlighted on my photography page album and photos.
The new facebook pages are seamless integration, Just love that. I get to earn the likes and Comments. As a photographer I get to know the feedback instantaneously.
As said SAS gives you a good user interaction, updates, feature rich, but on the other hand people like me who are worried about security is a big question.
facebook adult content notification
Facebook notifications are some times intimidating, I haven’t subscribed to any adult oriented notifications on facebook. I believe as I am member of some groups which are being exploited by these lame spammers.
I have been wondering why the url had subdomain called “new”
http://www.new.facebook.com and it turned out that Facebook is trying out a new layout.
A nice way to gain acceptance from users to try out old layout to new layout. If people still stick on the old design the designers at facebook know that their design sucks
Guys your new design is kewl, I am sure more users will adopt to the new design. All the best.

Seems like Google wants to embrace the non social networking sites to be part of social networking sites.
If you thought Myspace, Ning and Facebook made a killing, Please welcome the new Kid on the Block – Google Friend Connect. Do check the introduction video for more elaborate answers.
I see a lot of traffic to be increased to the personal or corporate websites too. All you need to do is sign up then embed few piece of code in to your website and let your friends and customers do the talking (bring the traffic back to you)
How does the traffic happen?
When ever a visitor visits a site and interact, their interactions are being reflected as updates in to the social networking sites which they belong. The updates are not mandatory, if wished, the interactions are reflected.
Corporate sites could integrate friend connect to have more authentic users
Personal websites could bring all friends buzzing among themselves and create new friends too
Bravo Google
An approach to fight spam is unleashed.

I guess Facebook needs to warn users like Flickr about spams and security related stuff.
