Two more of my gambling-related photographs were published online. Wew.

update on virginia city photo

It looks like they choose every damn photo ever taken of Virginia City, but my shot made the final cut for the Schmap photo contest! (I know, hold your applause.)

I’m not in love with it, but Schmap also makes the widget I’ve helpfully included here. Just for fun, try to find my picture without pulling all your hair out. Hint: I blogged about it earlier if you need to cheat.

i’m famous, sort of, maybe . . .

The picture on the right was chosen as a finalist for inclusion in Schmap’s forthcoming guide to Reno. I don’t know much about them, but Schmap offers iPhone-enabled interactive maps/tour guides to destinations in the US and abroad. Check them out, especially if they choose my shot.

The backstory: I took a spur-of-the-moment trip to Nevada last July Fourth, and wound up in Virginia City on a lark. Turns out they’re really into our nation’s birthday there (a guy at a biker bar told me that they are, quote, America Friendly, unquote, in the VC), and go all out with the historical costumes and country music or whatever.

Also, the geniuses at Schnap found my picture on Flickr. Cheers.

Sick of flickr uploadr? Try this.

Has anyone else ever wondered why flickr uploadr sucks so much? I think the Mac version is particularly bad – it crashes if you try to upload more than a few pics at a time, you can’t really batch edit any of the metadata or rename your shots . . . all around a frustrating experience, all the more so because Flickr is actually a pretty good site.

For those of you who use Adobe Lightroom to manage your pictures (I’m a big fan), I’ve found this solution. It gives you (almost) all the flexibility you need to process and rename images and, best of all, hasn’t crashed on me yet.
