Got these wise cracks in email and thought you might be interested in looking at them. One does not need to follow them but it surely is nice to read through them and enjoy the moment you read.

1. Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

2. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weight less, a treasure you can carry easily.

3. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

4. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

5. Don’t be afraid to encounter risk. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

6. Don’t be afraid to admit you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

7. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

8. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or future. By living our life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

9. Don’t take for granted the closest things to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

10. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

11. Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Wise cracks

Nothing remains same forever. Some photographers have visualized this concept with the help of photos and software available. The result, is incredible.

Worth1000 site conducts contests on creative photo manipulation works (they call it photoshoping). The pictures I am talking are from the 49 entries so far in the contest.

Time changes everything. Sometimes, a few days is enough to make a noticeable difference; other times it takes years or even centuries. But eventually, everything starts to show its age.

In this contest, you’re asked to speed the process up. Take any object you like, living or inanimate. Leave half (or thereabouts) of the picture untouched. Take the other half, and show how the subject will look at some point in the future.

You can choose the obvious targets: Show a girl’s face, with the right half aged to an elderly woman. Or perhaps a new mansion, with one half dilapitated and neglected. Or you can be creative: Put a caterpillar on one half of your entry, changing into a butterfly in the other. It’s up to you.

You can see the thumbnails of the entries here. It’s worth a look.

And it is great to read the comments too.

Well well well just posted an article about making money out of photos and then started researching (That’s not how things shouldn go …. A lesson for me!!). I found the link tried the website and thought it was ok to share among you people ….

(shall I remove the post ?… well let me leave it for now!)

Then I found some sites posted in this blog that helps making some money with your photos stock. Let me list them here:

To make the most out of making money online with stock photography make sure that your image is original and truly copyrighted by you. All trademarks must be removed. This includes logos, brands and entities with copyright or trademarked elements. This many also extend to trademarked products such as cast sculptures, toys, architecture and other elements of design. This is necessary to avoid future legal problems.

Always check the sellers’ portion for frequently asked questions, you better check it out first before trying to publish your work and sell your photos. This will help a lot in clarifying whatever you want to know about how to make money online from that stock photo site.

Also, don’t forget to know what are the most in-demand image subjects to avoid wasting your time uploading least requested images.

Sounds great and I hope this is useful to you. Good Luck!

Today’s the Bicycle Day. Want to know how it started ?

At 4:20 in the afternoon, on April 19th, 1943, the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann deliberately ingested 250 micrograms of LSD-25, a substance he had discovered during experiments with alkaloids of the fungus ergot. Despite the vanishingly small dosage, he soon found himself stricken with dizziness, euphoria, and an inescapable compulsion to laugh. Within the hour, he could barely write or speak intelligibly, and fearing he’d poisoned himself, rode his bicycle to his nearby home, called a doctor, asked for a glass of milk and collapsed on a sofa……. (from Page3.14)
