Photo Vetting
Photo vetting is a process of critically evaluating images for quality,
authenticity, or appropriateness,
used in contexts from immigration (checking ID photos, social media) to news
(verifying user content) and art (self-critique
for technical/emotional impact). It involves assessing technical
elements like focus and lighting, compositional strength, emotional impact, and
potential for manipulation or misuse, ensuring images meet specific standards
for clarity, security, or ethical use.
Applied
>Back circa 2006 Joan and I
went through our photographs and eliminated
those she didn’t want to keep.
At this time I never knew that I would be blogging them. Compared with what you see online on:
Facebook, YouTube etc. these photos are suggestive yet conservative. After we share the photos we throw the hard
copies away. Throwing them away has been
quite a challenge.
Psychosocial Boundaries
Psychosocial boundaries are the limits
and rules we set for ourselves in relationships and interactions,
defining what we are comfortable with (physically, emotionally, intellectually,
financially) to protect our well-being and maintain our identity, values, and
space, enabling healthier connections by preventing enmeshment, disrespect, and
emotional drain. They involve self-awareness, clear communication, and
consistency, allowing us to accept or reject external influences without losing
our sense of self.
Pursuing a Relationship and
Boundaries
Pursuing a relationship while establishing boundaries involves clearly
communicating your needs, values, and limits (physical, emotional, time) to a
partner, focusing on mutual
respect, self-care, and personal autonomy to build trust, security, and a
healthier connection, rather than controlling the other person. Healthy
boundaries clarify expectations, prevent resentment, and ensure both
individuals feel safe, respected, and free to grow, shifting from codependency towards interdependent partnership.
Interdependent Partnership
An interdependent partnership is a healthy
relationship where partners rely on each other for mutual support,
emotional intimacy, and shared growth, while also maintaining strong individual
identities, personal autonomy, and separate interests, balancing togetherness
with independence through clear
boundaries, open communication, and shared responsibilities. It's a
dynamic where both individuals thrive, neither losing themselves in the
relationship nor becoming overly self-reliant, fostering a relationship that's
more than the sum of its parts.
Relationship Synergy
Synergy in relationships means two
people create something greater together (1+1=3), fostering mutual
growth, support, and fulfillment, far beyond codependency (symbiosis). It's a
dynamic partnership where combined strengths yield more than individual
efforts, built on safety, empathy, and shared vision, leading to heightened
motivation, creative problem-solving, and lasting connection.
Appropriateness on the Internet
Appropriateness on the internet, known as Netiquette, means applying real-world politeness and
ethics online, focusing on respect, avoiding harmful content (like hate
speech, explicit material, or harassment), protecting privacy, and
understanding that online actions have lasting consequences. Key principles
include treating others as you would in person, thinking before posting
(remembering the "human behind the screen"), using clear language,
respecting platform rules, and being mindful of your digital footprint.
Explicit Material or Content –
Why have this warning?
Explicit material refers to content, often visual or textual, that depicts or describes nudity, sexual
acts, strong language, violence, or other themes considered inappropriate for
children or general audiences, intended to arouse or shock, and often requires warnings (like on
music or podcasts) or restrictions in schools and libraries. Definitions vary,
but generally cover pornography, graphic violence, and hate speech, focusing on
content that might be harmful or offensive
to minors or in public spaces.
What is not explicit material?
Not explicit material refers to content
that avoids profanity, strong sexual references, graphic violence, drug
use, or other offensive themes, making it suitable for general audiences,
including children; in music, this often means a "clean" version of a
song edited from an "explicit" original, while in broader terms, it's
content that is not clearly or fully revealed or expressed in a way that could
be deemed inappropriate.
Applied
>We did include a statement
made by Joan about what sex means to
her. It is definitely not
appropriate for children or teens. It is
for mature audiences only. It could be
used in a sex education unit or college course.

Conservative Compared to what you
find on Facebook
Ultimately, the images, pictures, and reels in a "conservative" Facebook feed are heavily curated by the platform's algorithm to reinforce a specific worldview and set of interests, in contrast to a general feed which would show a broader, more ideologically mixed range of content. You can check how Facebook has categorized your own political leanings in your ad preferences page.
Example of Conservative Images from Facebook
Content after images
May Be Deep Fake
Deep Fake on the Internet
Deepfakes on the internet are hyper-realistic, AI-generated or manipulated images, videos, and audio clips
designed to convincingly imitate real people saying or doing things they never
did. While the technology has positive uses in entertainment and education, it
poses significant risks related to fraud, misinformation, and personal harm.
How Deepfakes Work
The term "deepfake" is a blend of "deep learning"
and "fake". They are typically created using a type of artificial
intelligence called a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), where two competing
algorithms—a generator and a discriminator—continuously refine the synthetic
content until it is nearly
indistinguishable from reality.
Using See Less
"Using 'See Less'" refers to either a social media feature to
reduce unwanted content, a
website UI element to hide extra text indicating a preference for brevity or
less information on a topic. On platforms like Facebook/Instagram, it tells algorithms
to show fewer ads or posts about a topic, while in websites, it collapses long
content.
Interests Profiling
Social media interests profiling is the process of collecting and
analyzing public data from social platforms (likes, posts, follows, connections)
to build detailed profiles of individuals, revealing their habits, beliefs,
interests, and behaviors for uses like targeted marketing, fraud prevention,
and risk assessment, though it raises significant privacy concerns. These profiles use AI and data science
to create insights into personality, consumer
preferences, political leanings, and potential risks, helping
businesses and even individuals make informed decisions, but also enabling
potential misuse by cybercriminals.
Prefer Educational Media
Preferring educational media means choosing and using digital (videos,
apps, online resources) or traditional (print, visuals) materials that effectively deliver information,
enhance engagement, support different learning styles, and build skills like
critical thinking, leading to deeper understanding and better outcomes than
passive learning. It involves selecting media that suits ones needs, content
goals, and promotes active learning, problem-solving, and access to diverse
perspectives, moving beyond simple information delivery to an immersive experience.
Blog Audience
A blog audience is the specific
group of readers interested in your content, defined by demographics
(age, location), psychographics (interests, behaviors), and needs, whom you
attract by creating valuable, niche-focused content, engaging via
comments/social media, collaborating with others, and using email marketing to
build community and loyalty. Understanding your audience's pain points helps
you create relevant posts that solve
problems, turning casual readers into loyal followers, say.
“Digital Survivability for a
person’s Art” (Recommend searching this yourself)
Digital survivability for a person's art, whether it is born-digital or
a digitized physical piece, requires ongoing management to counter technological obsolescence. Key strategies involve
ensuring proper documentation, using standard file formats, implementing robust
backup systems, and planning for future migration or emulation of the work.
Emulation of Work
"Emulation of Work" refers to software mimicking another system's behavior (like running
old games on a new PC).
Sharing Suggestive Photographs
Lessons Learned - Conservative
Sharing suggestive photographs online comes with significant ethical and practical lessons, primarily
concerning consent, potential harm, and responsibility for the consequences.
Key lessons learned include…
Always obtain explicit consent. Even if you have good intentions, posting a photo that could be
considered suggestive or embarrassing without the subject's clear and explicit
permission is wrong. What one person considers harmless, another might find
distressing, and an image could circulate widely and unexpectedly online. Consider the potential for harm to the subject's life. Suggestive photos
could cause damage to individuals' personal and professional lives, especially
depending on their specific social or professional contexts. The potential
negative impact often far outweighs the urge to share.
You are responsible as the
photographer/sharer
By focusing your camera on people, you are making them vulnerable, and
you are responsible for their well-being and how their image is used. Taking
accountability for mistakes, apologizing, and taking corrective action is the appropriate way to handle
missteps.
Err on the side of caution
If there is any doubt about whether a photo should be shared, the
safest and most respectful approach is to withhold it.
Trust and integrity are paramount
Betraying someone's trust by sharing sensitive images (even if you've
fallen out with them) is a violation of principles. Prioritizing respect,
trust, and integrity helps create a safer, more respectful online environment.
Privacy warnings may not be
enough
Surprisingly, merely reminding people to consider privacy before
sharing might not lead to more cautious behavior; the underlying issue of personal responsibility needs to
be internalized.
Takeaway
The most important takeaway is that the act of sharing is powerful, and one must be acutely aware of
the potential long-term, unintended consequences for those in the images.
Photography – What we see in
Practice?
Photography in practice is about actively learning to see the world differently
through intentional observation, mastering technical skills like lighting and
composition (framing, focus, angles), and telling
stories by capturing moments that connect us to the past, present, and
future, often involving experimentation with different styles (portraits,
landscapes, street) to refine your unique vision. It's a blend of technical
craft (camera settings, editing) and artistic expression (concept, emotion)
that encourages mindfulness, patience, and a deeper appreciation for details,
ultimately helping you develop a consistent eye for compelling images.
Expiration of the material or
content on Blogger
Blogger content doesn't automatically expire, but it can become
outdated, irrelevant, or broken; blogs stay online as long as the associated Google account is active, but you
should manually manage content by updating, redirecting, archiving (hiding), or
removing posts to maintain quality and user experience, as outdated info
frustrates users and hurts reputation. You can also use Google Search Console's Refresh Outdated Content tool for
content already updated but not re-indexed.
Permission for Blogger to Sell
our Blogs
You can sell your Blogger blog, but it involves transferring domain
ownership, content, and potentially user access, requiring a clear sales
agreement outlining responsibilities, and potentially moving to separate
hosting for easier transfer; you're essentially selling the digital asset and
its audience, not just the Blogger platform access, which needs careful
negotiation with the buyer.
Losing Memories – Big O
"Losing Memories" in The Big O refers to the central premise
where residents of Paradigm City have lost
40 years of memories after a cataclysm, with Roger Smith, a Negotiator,
dealing with these resurfacing forgotten pasts using his giant robot, Big O;
the story explores identity and reality as lost knowledge (memories, artifacts)
reappears, revealing the city as a stage for cosmic battles, culminating in
characters choosing to create new
meaning from their blank slate, with Roger embracing his role as
"The Negotiator" despite lacking a past.
Fridays with Frank
Public does not guarantee privacy
"Fridays with Frank" is a popular video series produced by
the Pinal County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) in Arizona, featuring Deputy Frank
Sloup during traffic stops. The accompanying phrase, "Public does not
guarantee privacy," is a statement likely used by the agency to address
concerns about filming individuals in
public spaces and sharing the footage online.
Yellow Journalism
Yellow journalism is a sensationalized, exaggerated, and often
misleading style of newspaper
reporting from the late 19th century, characterized by catchy
headlines, scandal, crime, and vivid illustrations to boost sales, famously
used by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer during fierce circulation
wars, notably fueling public sentiment for the Spanish-American War by mixing
fact with fiction.
What type of journalism did Upton
Sinclair engage?
Upton Sinclair was a pioneer of muckraking
journalism, a form of investigative reporting that exposed societal
ills and corruption, often through fictionalized exposés like his famous novel
The Jungle, which revealed the
horrific conditions in the meatpacking industry and spurred food safety laws.
He also critiqued journalism itself, as seen in his book The Brass Check, and
advocated for socialist change, using journalism as a tool for social reform.
Real World Experiences – Lived
Experience
Real-world experiences and lived experiences refer to the unique, firsthand knowledge,
perspectives, and insights gained from personally going through life events,
challenges, or specific situations, distinct
from academic or professional knowledge. This perspective, shaped by
identity (race, gender, class, disability, etc.), offers invaluable insights
for policy, research, and service design, helping to create more relevant and
effective systems by centering the voices of those directly impacted.
Social Reform
Social reform involves organized efforts
to improve society by addressing injustices, such as poverty, labor
exploitation, inequality, and lack of rights, often arising from rapid changes
like industrialization, using advocacy, new organizations, and political action
to create systemic changes for better well-being and justice, distinct from
radical revolution by seeking gradual, often
liberal, improvements.
Neocon
A "neocon" (neoconservative) is a political follower of neoconservatism, a US-based ideology
promoting assertive democracy, strong military, and national interest, often
through interventionist foreign policy and spreading democratic values
globally, while embracing free markets and traditional values.
We are Liberal
Being "liberal" generally means supporting social progress,
individual rights, equality, and government's role in addressing societal
problems, emphasizing freedom, fairness, and community, though specific
meanings vary by country, political party (like U.S. Democrats), and individual interpretation, with core values often including
liberty, human rights, and opportunity, contrasting with conservative focus on
tradition, loyalty, and authority.
Reservation - Delete the Blog
Option (or Posts)
To delete a blog, go to the platform's settings (like Blogger,
WordPress, or Tumblr), find the "Delete blog" or "Remove your
blog" option in the blog
management or settings section, select the specific blog to delete if
you have multiple, and confirm the action, understanding that some platforms
offer a grace period before permanent removal.
