Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time. Once I built a railroad; now it’s done. Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime; Once I built a tower, now it’s done. Brother, can you spare a dime? This is a time of severe financial depression for artists.

Obviously, anyone that wants to follow me on a daily basis should be visiting me on Google Plus where I am thriving – now with 65,000 followers. All my G+ posts are open, meaning anyone can see them. https://plus.google.com/u/0/116247667398036716276/posts?hl=en If I have something more extensive to write that can’t go into the G+ format than I’ll still write it here. But if you love photographs, want to be able to easily follow me, want to [more]

I’m now doing my posts at Google Plus. It’s an excellent environment for photographers.  However, I am mirroring the G+ posts to this blog now, and you can read and visit in the more familiar blog format. But I really recommend having a G+ account, especially if you are a photographer. Here’s a link to my home page on G+. https://plus.google.com/116247667398036716276/posts

Man – do people even still use screensavers? I submitted this to softplatz in 2008. It’s only for Windows. Oh, what is it – it’s a screensaver with my b&w Central Park stuff.  About 50 photos I think.  And what’s this award logo – oh.  I just was picked as editors choice. As we say in New York, that and whatever the latest subway fare is will get me on the subway.

Just so you know – in case it isn’t obvious – I’ve been putting a lot of effort into my presence on Google Plus which you can get to here: Dave Beckerman on Google Plus And I’ve had some success there with nearly 4000 people following me and being added to lists of *important* photographers. Now what I’ve also been doing is using all the content in this blog as a reference library to send [more]

  Tempting fate? I guess so – but what else is new. And of course I know – it doesn’t look the same where you are. In fact, if I’m signed in to Google, I’m ranked lower. Figure that one out. And add one more SEO fact, my rating for this keyword phrase is DIFFERENT in every browser I have, which includes: Chrome, Opera, FireFox, Internet Explorer, and Safari! Go figure.
