Foreign Office commercial chief: Suppliers, don't be liars
The commercial director at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has argued that if the government is to achieve its goal of procurements taking 120 days, both Whitehall and suppliers have to understand what they are procuring and the risks associated with it. Ann Pedder told the Intellect World Class Public Services conference in …
All well and good, but the promise was that smaller businesses would have the opportunities to tender for Gov work. As it stands it's only the usual suspects that ever get a bite of the pie.
So if they are asking suppliers not to be liars maybe they should look elsewhere rather than into the same murky pool time and time again.
Can't afford the overheads
Small businesses can't afford to employ the legions of sales and legal staff necessary to comply with 'Best Value' tendering processes. The harder the government (or other large organization) works to ensure that it gets the best deal, the more expensive the deal is, because both sides have to massively lawyer up, and the client typically has to have at least as many staff to monitor the performance of the outsourced task as it would have taken to just do the task themselves.
The ideal is if each department or group within the larger organization is allowed to do their own purchasing up to a given budget. It means they get the equipment and software they need, when they need it. However, there would be 'waste' due to duplication of effort or being unable to negotiate per-unit costs down if there really is a need for an enterprise-wide licence.
Big companies want large organizations as customers because there is a lot of revenue there if you do get the deal. Small businesses don't want the hassle.
"Suppliers, don't be liars"
Yeah, right. Dream on.
Suppliers (& sales people) will stop lying when hell freezes over. In the meantime, us customers have to work our butts off to try and spot all the places where the supplier is trying to screw us.
Re: "Suppliers, don't be liars"
Moreover, if there are to be no liars in the deal, it is best to start with yourself. If you don't understand that regardless of how much you WANT to be viewed as a single customer, the reality that you are actually 120,000 different customers will get in the way.
The truth is supposed to sell?
I remember a story about the response of a stock dealer, years ago, at a seminar on the recently-introduced insider-trading regulations. i think it was some far-eastern market, not that that makes any difference.
"What? You mean I'm supposed to buy and sell when I don't know what's going on?"
Gosh, yet again the govt tries to wriggle out of the debacle that is public sector procurement. As a war weary veteran of over a decade in the trenches of public sector procurement and delivery, let me put my head above the parapet and let them know what the foot soldiers think.
Why does public sector procurement actually take so long?
A number of reasons come to mind:
1. Each govt procurement is an opportunity for every man+dog dept to actually get something, so typical procurement has a mass of requirements written in the most complex language imaginable and occasionally contradictory. I've worked on projects with over 3,000 requirements some of which are massive undertakings in their own right though some are pretty simple. Simply monitoring compliance is a team undertaking. But hey, the depts know what they want and we the vendors have to address every requirement normally with a "yes, we are 100% compliant" otherwise we don;t get through to the next stage.
2. The various procurement experts who pop up to assist govt agencies through this stage. These people are incentivised to beat costs out of the project but since we know how they work and they know how we work, we almost dance a well known dance to get us back to the numbers we all thought of in the first place, but hey these experts have saved us £5M or whatever. Not really, we're not stupid, we know how the game is played as well, but we have wasted another couple of months. The worst experts are the ones who actually save money up front and leave a complete mess of stinking poo to be sorted out 2-3 years later after they've taken their bonus for saving the govt money, actually that's like some of our own sales people so I shouldn't complain :)
3. Lets also throw in security as well and govt accreditation. Thats good for slowing things down, driving the price up (considerably) and gets a whole group of people onto the gravy train.If you are clever about it you can build a whole career in govt IT security simply asking if the latest Microsoft patches have been applied and sucking your teeth in when it was impossible to apply as the latest Microsoft AD patch completely destroys your domain and so necessitates a massive redesign and patching excercise which adds no value as there is no external connectivity to the system, but some govt security twat thinks that all patches must be applied to maintain security. So when we have come back with a price and a design in the 90 days we need to take all of this into account which also slows us down (and drives the price up).
4. Even when we do all of this, and get the 22 separate copies of nine volumes spread across 32 sections printed on just under 4,000 pages each delivered to the govt, normally by truck as 100,000 sheets of bound paper oddly enough won't quite fit into the boot of the company BMW, the govt then takes longer to read it and come back to us though they are contractually bound to reply in X days. Oddly enough contracts like this seem to be one way. Then they come back with comments and questions that shows they have put the sections out to print but not given all the sections to everybody, so we then waste even more time trying to collate their comments together to produce an answer that is sensible and helpful, rather than "you're a blithering idiot, read the right section, we put the response together how you mandated it, now read it that way".
5. And then after all of this it finally goes to the right person to sign it off, this person will make sure that all of the naysayers in his or her organisation have been forced to have an input and to say yes, as he/she wants to make sure if there's an issue or problem it's one that can be shared amongst every single director or grade 5/6 in the organisation and it's not just the heads problem. This means any one person can say "no" but it needs a unanimous vote to say "yes". Oddly enough, just like the UN. This is when the little deals get cut in the back room.
So when the govt says we the vendors need to speed things up, I'd strongly suggest that you the govt, remove the large train timber out of your own eye first.
You forgot one
6. when the contract is signed, the govt will put it in the draw and tell you what to do whether it was in the contract or not. They will then complain when you want to charge them more. They will do nothing to determine whether or not you are complying with the contract and then whinge bitterly because you failed to meet one minor requirement which actually required them to provide information but they claim you should know as an expert provider of services to the government.
Re: You forgot one
I forgot a few....
7. During the duration of the contract, each clause will have the semantics of what is actually required drawn out to the nth + 1 degree to justify the govt having the titantium and gold plated option whereas other clauses such as "the govt will pay the supplier £1M on day X" will be subjective to endless govt debate as to what was exactly meant and whether the supplier has actually met their side of the deal.
8. When a new SRO is appointed six months into the contract, as the limitations of the original one are exposed, he/she will feel that their appointment is a perfectly legal excuse to draw up a new contract/T&C's/clauses as they don't feel the old one applies to them.
9. After three months the dept realises that what they actually wanted was something else, how it was the suppliers fault that the system doesn't do X (as it wasn't in the requirements), so every change is now a defect on the original. This is because defects are the suppliers fault, changes are the govt's and cost them money.
Oo oo oo, can I play?
My faves include:
1. Government hires loads of 'experts', usually health and safety.
.......on cost plus, who cost the Government more that the entire value of your contract.
.......who provide advice expert advice without any technical understanding of the technology being sold, and thus have zero understanding of the risks associated with that technology.
.......whose advice is plain wrong, but until you write pages of justification showing why they are wrong will mean you don't get paid.
2. Talking to Government commercial officer who did not understand how by adding 'just 1 requirement' to the procurement spec could double the costs. He honestly thought you could take cost of project, divide by number of requirements and come up with an additional cost per requirement figure.
Shouldn't really speak in public after a long boozy lunch
Working out where the risk is in government contracts is easy - it's on the taxpayer.
And if a commercial director can't work out why a supplier with contracts with 10 different departments might act as if they had contracts with 10 different departments then I can only guess we've returned to the days of Caligula and appointing horses (arses) as public officials.

Got it cheers.
Well done Nephilim am so glad you got something you are really enjoying. I did gardening years back and loved it and to be honest there are many times I wish I has stayed in that line of work.
Well its very tough work...as it involves different aspects (shingling, mulching, hedge trimming, chainsawing trees and stumps, then obvious maintenance of the sites - litter picking, lawn mowing, strimming, hard raking, etc)....good job, great people to work with, and going from a sedentary job to one that is very physically active was a shock to the
system and I am still getting used to it! Hopefully I will be much better by next week :)

The fringed leather pouch that David Crockett carried his musket balls in the day he fell at the Alamo made its trip to Texas with Crockett in 1836. On Tuesday, Oct. 28, it returns to the Alamo via British pop-legend Phil Collins who is donating what is considered the biggest and best collection of Alamo artifacts ever assembled.
English rock star Phil Collins, a dedicated Alamo history buff, is donating his treasure trove of Alamo Battle and Texas Revoluation artifacts to the State of Texas, the Texas General Land Office has announced.
The Alamo opens a new exhibit this weekend that examines the sometimes-overlooked history of Hispanic defenders of the Alamo. Standing Their Ground: Tejanos and the Alamo opens Saturday and runs through June 6.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Stories on the Alamo inevitably stir deep emotions, and Jan Reid's personal reflection on the storied shrine in the September issue was no exception. Some readers found the piece compelling, some took offense to certain ideas expressed, and some pointed out factual errors. We appreciate all of the feedback, and have posted the responses below. For an updated version of the story, click here.
The hump-backed façade of the Alamo, the 18th-Century mission chapel that actually comprised just a small part of the fabled killing field of 1836, is the profile and shrine of Texas. U.S. Army engineers introduced the distinctive arched gable while restoring the structure in the early 1850s. But that roofline symbolizes Texans' tradition of valor, pride, and independence. My dad attended a Wichita Falls grade school that was built to resemble and remember the Alamo, and children still go there. Another Alamo-look-alike school is closed and fallen almost to ruin in the hamlet of Mosheim; doubtless more of these relics are scattered throughout the state. That's because our legislature in the 1920s freed up some school-building revenue contingent on architects and brick masons aping the Alamo's silhouette.

Did Senator John McCain, a leading advocate of arming Syria's Islamist revolutionaries, meet with members or allies of the Islamic State in al-Sham [the Levant] (ISIS) during his trip to Syria on May 27 of last year?
The extremist group ISIS asserts that only brutality will drive Westerners, including Israelis of European descent, from the Middle East. But the flip side of that coin is the demand from the likes of Dick Cheney for ever increasing repression of political Islam, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes...Crude, primitive rejection of everything Islamist has many unfortunate effects. Helping ISIS is one of the effects we ought to worry about at the moment.

... let ISIS try to govern 8 million people in the dusty villages and impoverished desert expanse of the Euphrates Valley by means of the sword and medieval precepts of Sharia law. The resulting "blowback" from the bestirred people of the ISIS occupied lands will do more for the safety and security of the American people than all the drones and bombers that Washington could send to forge puppet nations within the Syrian and Iraqi "borders" that have already been deposited in the dustbin of history.
The mainstream U.S. media is hazing German Chancellor Merkel and President Obama for sidestepping the "I-word" – invasion – in reference to Russia and Ukraine. But the MSM goes mute on Ukraine's "N-word" for "Nazi" so as not to disrupt the pro-Kiev "group think."
The National Security Agency is secretly providing data to nearly two dozen U.S. government agencies with a "Google-like" search engine built to share more than 850 billion records about phone calls, emails, cellphone locations, and internet chats, according to classified documents obtained by The Intercept.
The documents provide the first definitive evidence that the NSA has for years made massive amounts of surveillance data directly accessible to domestic law enforcement agencies. Planning documents for ICREACH, as the search engine is called, cite the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration as key participants.

On August 1, NPR's Morning Edition broadcast a story by NPR national security reporter Dina Temple-Raston touting explosive claims from what she called "a tech firm based in Cambridge, Massachusetts." That firm, Recorded Future, worked together with "a cyber expert, Mario Vuksan, the CEO of ReversingLabs," to produce a new report that purported to vindicate therepeated accusation from U.S. officials that "revelations from former NSA contract worker Edward Snowden harmed national security and allowed terrorists to develop their own countermeasures."
The "big data firm," reported NPR, says that it now "has tangible evidence" proving the government's accusations. Temple-Raston's four-minute, 12-second story devoted the first 3 minutes and 20 seconds to uncritically repeating the report's key conclusion that "just months after the Snowden documents were released, al-Qaeda dramatically changed the way its operatives interacted online" and, post-Snowden, "al-Qaeda didn't just tinker at the edges of its seven-year-old encryption software; it overhauled it." The only skepticism in the NPR report was relegated to 44 seconds at the end when she quoted security expert Bruce Schneier, who questioned the causal relationship between the Snowden disclosures and the new terrorist encryption programs, as well as the efficacy of the new encryption.
With this report, Temple-Raston seriously misled NPR's millions of listeners.

I am watching the remake of the series Cosmos. Carl Sagan, the host of the original series is a hard act to follow. He had the science down right but there was a real passion in his serach for not only facts but the truth and the process for getting there. Neil deGrasse Tyson does a good job in the new series although he won't be imitated as effectively. For a lot of believers it brings up a lot of disturbing and challenging issues, not the least of which is how to reconcile the interpretations of a book written by errant men with an observable universe created by an inerrant God. Many opt to accept interpretations that contradict the empirical evidence of God's handiwork. I think there is a name for that.
There is a proper way to educate and there is a proper way to govern, and they are both known. Today we do these things in a different way, which presents a serious and perhaps fatal problem for our country. But repair is possible.
Take education first. The word "education" comes from a Latin word meaning "to lead forth." And if you think about it, "forth" is a value-laden term. Which way is forth? The Bible tells us to "raise up a child in the way he should go." But which way should he go? How does one come to know the answer to that? After almost 14 years as a college president I'm an expert on young people between 18 and 22, and I can tell you that if you ask a young person today which way is the right way to go, more often than not he or she will answer: "It depends on which way you want to go." Young people today give that answer because they've been taught to give that answer. But it's the wrong answer, and the activity of getting from there to the right answer—the activity of coming to know which way is the right way—is education. Thus "to lead forth."

MILFORD, Ind. – Authorities say two people have been found dead after a fire that broke out in an auto-repair business.
Fire officials say no one was working in the shop when the fire broke out Thursday morning, but someone did live in an apartment above the business in Milford.
The Kosciusko County coroner said two bodies were recovered, but didn't identify them or say where they were found.
Five fire departments sent crews to the scene in the 1,500-person town. Officials said firefighters weren't able to go inside the building for a few hours because of the fire's heat and the presence of several cars and oil products inside.

Kingman, AZ
It is not every day that you can have the chance to visit a distillery and taste the products it produces. You can in Kingman with a visit to the Desert Diamond Distillery. Most distilleries are closed to the public, but at Diamond, you are openly welcomed to come and see for yourself how great tasting rum is made. This is a working distillery, so what you will see is the real production of wares to be sold commercially. Naturally, Diamond's has tasting and retail areas that provide visitors the opportunity to take a few gifts home with them.
The Mohave Museum of History and Arts is a venue that showcases and preserves the history primarily centered around Northwestern Arizona. The museum utilizes terrific artwork in the form of elaborate murals and vivid dioramas that beautifully depict historic imagery. Visitors will also find various exhibits and displays that provide illuminating information about the history, culture, and people of the area. Many exhibits are actually outside the main building, such as the mining machines and even a real railroad caboose. A visit to this museum is an enjoyable experience for the entire family and just happens to be an educational outing as well.
One of the more appealing aspects of Kingman is its proximity to great outdoor venues. Such is the case with Hualapai Mountain Park. The scenic views that you will experience here are simply breathtaking. There is an abundance of wildlife here, from deer to mountain lions. If you love to watch wildlife in its natural habitat, you will not be disappointed. You will also find miles of trails throughout the park to facilitate enjoyment, as well as dozens of campsites. When you feel like escaping the hustle and bustle of urban life, there is no better destination than Hualapai Mountain Park.

It's now a merely embarrassing dud.

As maximalist camp, it succeeds thunderously. Is that what it intends to be? Irrelevant. I recommend it never open. It should be built and rebuilt and overbuilt forever, a living monument to itself.

About 3 weeks ago, I began to start eating right. I'm doing a low carb diet. I lost 8 pounds right off, (I went from 223 to 215) so I'm think that was alot of fluid. The second week of my diet, someone introduced me to Protein Shakes. I began to drink one in the morning (between 45-60 carbs) & a 15 carb one for my bedtime snack. I've noticed today that I've gained 2 of those pounds back. I've been walking everyday between 30 mins to 45 mins and here's my carb schedule: Breakfast 45-60, Snack 15, Lunch 45, Snack 15, Supper 60, Snack 15. Plus I'm working on increasing my water intake. Right now I'm drinking around 48 oz of water. What am I doing wrong?

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
A six-member Jonesboro familys attempt to stay warm by a fire Wednesday afternoon ended with their chimney going up in flames, according to a spokesperson for Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services.Fire Department spokesperson, Battalion Chief Jacque Feilke, said a chimney fire broke out just before 3 p.m., at a home located on Mandarin Drive, in Jonesboro. She explained that the fire destroyed much of the chimney, and burned some wiring near the chimney, in the home. Power had to be shut off to the house, which otherwise only had smoke-and-water damage in the rest of the structure, she said. They had a fire going in the [fireplace] chimney, and suddenly the whole chimney just went up in flames, and were not sure why, Feilke said. She later added: They were doing everything they were supposed to be doing. Unfortunately, with everything burning up in the chimney, theres not much left to tell us why this fire happened. Feilke said the Red Cross was called to provided assistance to the family, and she added that everyone in the family was safely evacuated from the home without suffering any injuries. This is a really good reminder of why it is important for people to get their chimneys inspected on a regular basis, she said. Its a good idea to have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a chimney-cleaning service regularly, if not at least once a year. Curt Yeomans

text: Republicans Pounce on Democrat Over Alleged Voter Fraud Scandal by Javier Manjarres 18 Jun 2013 Share This: The NRCC is hitting embattled Democratic Congressman Joe Garcia hard over the alleged voter fraud scandal he is currently tangled up in. Joe Garcia's shifty and shady response to this voter fraud scandal is extremely troubling. Congressman Garcia needs to stop with the slippery double-talk and finally explain why he is standing by one of his top staffers while he is being investigated for breaking the law. So far, the lack of answers from Congressman Garcia and his operation only raises more questions – it's no wonder public trust in him is quickly eroding.-NRCC (Release) Watch the video

"Mullet with headlights!"
Yeah, top that. ;)
"Mullet with headlights!"
Yeah, top that. ;)
Yeah, do what y'all so so well. ;)
Since nonewhere has been spending the week packing up his office space (I call him 'last minute louie), I decided to give him a break and get the music started. We will be seeing a lot of this during the next several days. By the way, we will be spending some vacation time in Northwest Colorado where nonewhere will be fishing with Onefly.
I heard this song on WXPN yesterday and it made me laugh because the typewriter is certainly a thing of the past.
Once again, Nonewhere was a slacker so the privilege of posting a song was
dumped on handed to me.
This is all I got. Do whatever you want with it.
BTW – WXPN may be one of the best radio stations in the nation. Do visit their website to learn more about 'XPN'.
Once again, Nonewhere asked me to get tonight's music started. Since this was asked of me at 8:00 am today, I was lost for ideas so I contacted my oldest daughter. Next week, she and her husband will be seeing this group in concert. From what I understand, this group is becoming quite popular and that is why I am posting music from these up and coming artists. For all I know, they may already be famous.
May I present to you, The Lumineers performing Ho Hey:
I think I like this group. They are fresh and exciting.
Here's a link to their bio.
Are you listening to any new performers and if so, who are they? There are so many new artists to choose from.
Depending on who you ask, all men are assholes, or most men are assholes. So when a typical guy doesn't get the relationship to work the dialogue goes something like this:
Buster: So where's Sherry tonight?
Billy Bob: We split up.
Buster: Oh. So it's just the two of us tonight at the BarB Que?
Billy Bob: Yep.
Buster: So why don't we hit the billiards hall afterward then.
Billy Bob: Yeah, I guess. But only if we chug a 6-pack before going in.
So to prove the theory that only most men are assholes, I offer two who are not, singing about man pain in the most evocative, visceral moods of anguish and eloquence.
Jimmy Dale Gilmore doing a Butch Hancock song Just a Wave Not the Water.
Jeff Buckley performs what most think is the hands down best version of the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah
And here it is, your Friday tour of the musical raging rapids, quiet pools, and swirling eddies of YouTube's music collection. Gummitch, probably against his better judgement, has handed the MC's mouse to me, TerrytheTurtle.
So enough bunny from me, let's get going.
Each week I try to find music to tie to what the GOP thinks should be voted into one of the most powerful positions that the Koch brothers have in their subsidiary, which some of us remember as the United States of America. Anyhow getting new material each week is a challenge, but I've been working hard and here we go:
Herman Cain hit the Big Time this week and shot to front of several polls with his $9.99 pizza offer, catching eyes and turning heads. You have to hand it to him, he simplified the complex tax code to a question of Apples and Oranges or Bananas.
Ron Paul was there again, the 'old man on the back porch' of the field. He even dug up Ronnie's corpse, and told the assembly some painful hometruths – the stunned silence was epic.
Batshit's campaign is fading fast. Of course Ozzy Osbourne knows a thing or two about bats (and how they taste), and also about 'going off the rails on a crazy train.'
Mitt Romney – OK the cult thing is easy. How about 'more cowbell' with it though?
So Cult Boy and Gov Jeff Davis got into it about immigration. Here's the Viking Kittens and the Immigrant Song for Rick 'Purdy-mouth'.
And can anyone tell me why Newt Gingrich is still there? Wonder when his next divorce is due. His penchant for serving his ex-wives as they lie in hospital beds wins him this one. Barenaked Ladies from their widely acclaimed 'Bathroom Session' – 'The King of Bedside Manor.'
Last, but by no means least, well ok, he is the least of the clowns in the GOP clown car, Rick Sanitarium. I thought I would have trouble with him, I mean finding a song to piss him off, maybe where a band named as slang for a transvestite, with a gay guy for a singer, belting out a song hinting about bondage with an Oedipus flavour…you'd think would be impossible. 'Au contraire, mon capitain!' as Q would say.
But you know I think I've figured out what the vaguely uncomfortable look that comes over Rick's face is when he's thinking. He's thinking that someone, somewhere, right now is having sex – and he isn't – 'lust keeps on lurking.'
Enough of these fools! Big news of the week, the Mad Dog of the Middle East is dead. I had to go back to the drawing board after 'Another One Bites the Dust' was posted yesterday, but I redoubled my efforts and came across a detail in the story, where the young Libyan who found him in the culvert, relieved him of something.
Colonel Gaddafi – among his many delusions, apparently thought he was 'The Man with the Golden Gun.'
But finally, for the Libyans themselves, we all know which casbahs are rocking tonight! Hit it Joe!

A Bedford man reported being shot Monday by the driver of a white Lexus sport utility vehicle that pulled up beside him on Precinct Line Road in North Richland Hills, police said.The 20-year-old was shot in the upper right arm. He was treated at a Grapevine hospital and released, said Investigator Keith Bauman, a spokesman for North Richland Hills police.No arrest had been reported by Tuesday evening.The man said the incident began about 3:30 p.m. Monday on northbound Precinct Line Road near Mid-Cities Boulevard, Bauman said in a news release. The man said the SUV "began to come up behind him at a high rate of speed," Bauman said. "The victim tapped on his brakes in an effort to get the driver of the Lexus to stop following him so closely."But, Bauman said, the SUV driver pulled up beside the man's vehicle and pointed a handgun at him."The victim saw his passenger window explode and realized the suspect had shot at him," Bauman said.He didn't realize that he had been shot until he pulled off the road, Bauman said.He contacted a relative in Grapevine, who took him to a hospital.Grapevine police were summoned, but they referred the case to North Richland Hills police when they determined that's where the shooting happened, Bauman said.The man told police that he last saw the Lexus turning east on L.D. Lockett Road, Bauman said.

Serious Stuff
I've got something that's been bothering me for some time.
I feel that taking pictures of birds and pretty landscapes and little league games is all done in vain.
I feel that I have a responsibility to focus on serious issues instead. Put myself to good use, if you know what I mean. I have a photographic ability and not using it spread social and/or environmental awareness seems like a shame.
Thoughts or feelings?

Re: Serious Stuff
Just me but, as a photographer who prefers to shoot birds and wildlife, I think shooting such, especially since so many are threatened or endangered, is pretty serious stuff. What better way to spread environmental awareness? Not that you can't do other stuff, but if a picture you take of a snow covered mtn. or a soaring bird makes one kid want to go outside instead of sitting in front of a computer I say that is a good thing.

Re: Serious Stuff
I would think that the environmental awareness gig is about filled up. How many pictures of melting glaciers do we need? I think we still have some left over from the 30's.
How about the social condition of man? Lots of downtrodden masses to photograph.
The kind of stuff your talking about isn't something you can do. It's something you have to live. Go live it.

Re: Serious Stuff
Shooting wildlife or scenery is not insignificant when that wildlife or scenery is disappearing at an ever-increasing rate. How many more photos do you think there will be of the Iromote Cat or the Amo Leopard? Very few. What about the Golden Toad? None, since it's now extinct.
Would that there were photographs of the Passenger Pigeon, or the Dodo.
Yes, I know. Do we need pictures of common songbirds? There are, after all, millions of them. In the 1700s, there were millions of passenger pigeons. Flocks were big enough to darkened the sky and break the branches of trees. I haven't seen one lately, though.
As for scenery, have you ever seen a photo of the Valley of the Smokes? Neither have I. Nor will we. It's gone, forever.
Even if only from casual photographers, pictures may outlast their subjects. It happens all the time.
Besides, there are so few real pleasures in life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with merely enjoying onesself, and with sharing that joy. And that, to me, is one of the essences of photography.

Re: Serious Stuff
What is your photography for?...Business related pursuits? or personal pasttime? a tool for accomplishing life's goals? Different strokes for different folks!
Some people hike for personal fitness, others hike to spend time outdoors, others hike to help in the cause of nature preservation, others hike simply to avoid polluting the world more, yet others hike as part of a cause, and yet others hike simply to get unique photos! Different stroke for different folks.
Maybe I am jaded, but I see too many 'cause marchers' who accomplish nothing apart from bitching. They could be more active trying to change things, than carrying signs in protest in passively trying to influence someone else to change things.
But, to me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being able to share beauty with others, through photography. Or there is nothing wrong with preserving your own sanity by using photography to simply help to relax, and keep you sane for your family.

Re: Serious Stuff
We each have our own passion. For some it is birds and others it is insects. If you feel like you need to turn your lens to a higher calling, then by all means do it bacause the world definitely needs more people that are passionate about a cause and photography can be the tool to bring your cause to the forefront whether it is Adams' Yosemite, Blacklock's Lake Superior, Brandenburg's North Woods or SRPhotographics _________.

Re: Serious Stuff
Photographers like W.Eugene Smith when people were being poisoned in a Japanese village called Mimamata where people were dying from mercury poisining from a major manufacturer dumping it showed the horror of it with his camera at risk to his own safety. He was in danger of his life thru the entire project. If that ain't doer I don't know what is and because of his efforts he changed things.
Dorothea Lange
Walker Evans
and the other photographers of the FSA documented the hard times of the great depression.

Re: Serious Stuff
You don't have to be saving the world or curing diseases to be doing something of significance.
I take photos b/c it appeals to my creative side much like playing the guitar does. Those things are signifant to me. Does that make me selfish? If I thought that those things were meaningful to the world, then I would be self righteous.
IMHO, doing something "meaningful" should never be premeditated. You either do it naturally (out of natural desire to "help the world") or not do it at all.

Re: Serious Stuff
I don't share your concern when it comes to photography. It is beauty that I'm interested in.
Now, my 2 cents....Unless you address the propensity we humans have for over breeding you haven't accomplished anything. This one issue is the root of all our troubles yet no one ever talks about it because if we slow down our economy will stop growing. Just wait to see what happens when we exceed the planet's ability to sustain our burgeoning mass.

Re: Serious Stuff
SRP said he wanted to do something more with his work. I think theres a place for it just like theres a place for the "pretty photographs". In fact I have yet to see any images on this site that deal deeply with an issue. I've seen some BEAUTIFUL photographs and thats great, I love to see them but in the world I think theres room for more.
Heres an interesting quote by Ansel Adams in June of 1943 and this guy took some BEAUTIFUL photographs.
"Documentation-in its present social interpretation of the term-will burst into full flower at the moment of peace. Herein lies the magnificent opportunity of all photographic history. Here is where the camera can be related to a vast constructive function: the revelation as it is born and grow into maturity."
I can't find the exact quote right now but I have read where he said if he were a new photographer (late 40s) he would be using a small camera (Hasselblad was small to him) and documenting the human condition. I think we need to appreciate it all if its good.
