Selections from Amir Zaki’s Time Moves Still
The title refers to the common adage, “Time Stands Still.” Each of the photos in the exhibition is compiled from 40-100 individual images. Therefore, the pictures represent 10-15 minutes of time passing by.
For instance, the trees have an almost painful degree of resolution, which would imply an instantaneous exposure with an incredibly sharp lens. But, they also contain areas of softness and blur, moments when the wind may have picked up during exposure, which imply movement and the passing of time.

SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!
- Let’s try and get 100k notes
A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:
“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.
To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil
As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.Interesting how this was the top entry on my dash right when I blogged the previous one.
Noooooooo…. I can’t envision Yahoo! doing much good for tumblr, although the messaging system on tumblr could certainly use some improvement. More than likely, Yahoo! would gut tumblr and try to make it fit in the Yahoo! brand. No. No, thank you. That would not be an improvement.
I do not want to be inundated with advertising. I don’t want to be datamined. Just let me and my tumblr be.

Dove contrato a un artista forense para dibujar cómo se ven las mujeres a sí mismas en comparación con cómo las ven los demás. Los resultados conmueven.
Normalmente criticaría mucho a Dove por su estrategia de apelar a la falta de autoestima generalizada para vender sus productos, pero carajo, la verdad está muy bueno este video.
