I had a really fun time at Mesh this year running around playing Flickr paparazzi with my buddy Rannie Turingan, we gotta get Geo Perdis into our cabal next time.

*sniff* – reminds me of the good old days shooting web conferences with Kris Krug. Why can’t Vancouver and Toronto be closer to each other?

Otherwise, something like this will happen:

Goodbybe JPG Magazine

Why did I delete my JPG Magazine account? Cofounders Derek Powazek and Heather Champ have been booted out because they didn’t want to lie.

In one evening, Paul removed issues 1-6 from the JPG website, removed Heather from the About page, and deleted the “Letter from the Editors” that had lived on the site since day one. Paul informed me that we were inventing a new story about how JPG came to be that was all about 8020. He told me not to speak of that walk in Buena Vista, my wife, or anything that came before 8020.

Here’s where the whole “not lying” thing comes in. I just could not agree to this new story. It didn’t, and still doesn’t, make any business sense to me. Good publishing companies embrace their founding editors and community, not erase them. Besides, we’d published six issues with participation from thousands of people. There’s no good reason to be anything but proud of that.

JPG Magazine has now lost its reputation, its much loved cofounders and people are starting to leave and be public about it. Think about that the next time you’re tempted to tell a lie to your community.

Juction photoshoot – full set

Last weekend my friends Rannie Turnigan (aka Photojunkie), Jay Goldman, Madhava Enros and I went on a Canon camera crew outing to shoot Toronto’s Junction neighborhood. You can click their names to see their photographs from the day.

In a city full of condo developments and urban renewal projects, the Junction has been left out. Half of the storefronts had “for lease” signs, and the other half were not open in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. But that didn’t stop us from shooting our little Canon loving hearts out.

I love the message of this video, kudos to Kent and Jenn of Ebb & Flow, a video blog that “focuses on social change and issues of inner peace”. They also used one of my photos briefly in a montage, Charlottetown Hippie Girl, thanks to the Creative Commons license I put on all my photographs.

So my friends, that’s what’s really interesting about the web. It allows people to collaborate and create new and unexpected things with just a little trust and goodwill.
