Uploaded on March 18, 2010 by shapeshift to flickr [#1 share foto site]  from his 2007 Carnaval SF work. We missed the inimitable C'SF  work of shapeshift who is one of our more active flickr contacts. His subtle, ethereal computer screen shifts from original spot-on captures make his work quickly standout from the pack. Indeed they have enabled some of his San Francisco Carnaval fotos to become the most popular of all Carnaval photos besting even the dominant posts from Rio Carnaval @flickr.com.

Shapeshift posts with the 21st century phenom known as a "creative commons" copyright which allows you to use photos without explicit permission yet always with the understanding of giving credit. The niceties and commercial viability of "CC licensing" is still being worked out. It is clear that many who post on flickr would love to make a living from photography, so we note for the record the prominent shapeshift.net tag embedded on this photo and his other recent work.
These seem to be the first B&W Carnaval  impressions shapeshift has publically posted. B&W leaves more room for the imagination and is more demanding of the photographer to understand color when shooting and making the print. [more]

NEWS

Carnaval San Francisco
2008 Awards & Special Recognition
Sometime around the beginning of 2009, Yahoo's #1 foto site, flickr.com  took a page from google's youtube.com playbook and allowed embedding of images and often slideshows on other websites by default. Prior to this we had only used our own, RSS feeds from flickr or well-labeled Creative Commons content.
This is a wiki mashup platform chosen by us for the ease with which we can share the incredible Carnaval content from these two leading content generators. Yes, we admit Carnaval.com did get too big and sprawling for many and hard to maintain for us but it will still remain the star.

Flickr AWARDS for 2008 Parade

 
Congratulations to pikabon
with the most "most interesting" pics on page One for the search terms "Carnaval + San + Francisco + 2008"
Pikabon placed 7 in the top 25 from a pool of 5,983 results. Also placing more than a single foto were davidyuweb and Super G. Special acknowledgment to agi500 with the #1 B&W Mission statement as well as to the 2007 winner shapeshift [11 of 25] who managed to place even though he did not upload till March 2009.
The Carnaval.com family of annual festival websites [sfmission.com, carnavalcity.com, carnivalcities.com & flickr/aforum] is pleased to buy pikabon a flickr pro account and send a small token of our esteem for this work promoting the Spirit of Carnaval...... Joy in the present!

--- C M Collins publisher. May 24, 2009


On March 22, 2008 We found 5,650 results matching carnaval and San and Francisco and 2008. This is more than double the 2,733 posted in 2007 and does not include the many who did not use these key "terms" in their posting.  Photographers enjoyed beautiful natural lighting during the first couple of hours of the 2008 Carnaval. As we enter the final rounds of flickr rankings we must salute Pikabon.

We were very impressed to find that 5 of the top 25 "Most interesting"  of the  5,650 results matching the 4 terms

"Carnaval", "San", "Francisco", & "2008". 

were by Pikabon
Granted there is a lot of yet to come action that translates into effective voting during the building to the Grand Parade in the SF Mission District on Sunday morning May 24, 2009.

Picabon
Surprisingly Picabon, does not have a flickr pro account but she does specialize in devoting her flickr presence to Carnaval San Francisco

Enchantment
"When devils, wizards or jugglers deceive the sight they are said to cast glamour over the eyes of the spectator."

---Alan Ramsay [1721]
"Enchantment is an ascendancy of the soul, a condition that allows us to connect, for the most part lovingly and intimately, with the world we inhabit and the people who make up our families and communities....Enchantment is often colored by at least soft hues of absurdity, which is only a sign of its saving distance from excessive rationality....Deep in enchantment is the experience of being lured into reverie, dreamland, by the musical charms of the enchanter."

---Thomas Moore; The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life
