Hace 3 anos que mi familia ha sido parte de esta pagina que es www.myfamily.com , que es una pagina para que estés en contacto con tu familia. Realmente yo no estaba interesado en eso por supuesto porque era un estudiante de universidad que tenía otras cosas que hacer. Ahora estoy casado y a punto de ser papa, entonces ahora se el valor de myfamily.com. Una pagina totalmente gratuita en la que puedes estar en contacto con los miembros de tu familia en forma confidencial, ya que cada quien tiene su contraseña.

Myfamily.com realmente tiene todo, puedes subir fotos, hacer comentarios, hasta videos. Es tan simple que hasta mi abuelita lo puede hacer, nunca he tenido limites en mis fotos, ni restricciones, no importa cuantas fotos suba. Puedes registrar a todas las personas que quieras, ellos podrán meterse a la pagina y checar las cosas nuevas cada día. Cada miembro de la familia tiene el derecho de entrar a cada parte de la página y subir fotos, videos, y muchas cosas en myfamily.com.

Todo en la página es muy fácil de usar, todo esta explicito, te da la opción de que tu nombre de usuario y contraseña se queden grabados para que sea más fácil para ti ingresar a la página. Hay una sección que tiene los comentarios más nuevos que los miembros de la familia han escrito, esta todo en lista para ver tus videos, recetas, fotos, etc.

Photographer Danny Santos II collection of photography can be view on his website http://www.dannyst.com

Street photography is one of my personal favorite forms. You never know who will pass by. Each person has a story to tell and at that moment in time, a snapshot and pause.

Danny Santos includes shots from the street and a collection of amazing portraits.

TNTD: What are some of the funny and memorable reactions from your street
photography expeditions?

Danny Santos : I haven't really had any funny moments or misfortunes so far primarily because I've always tried to be very quick and discrete when shooting candids, and polite when shooting posed portraits.

TNTD: Who and what circumstances can you describe as strange/confused or outright weird?

Danny Santos: I can't categorize any as weird, but I did get an email from a disgruntled boyfriend of one of my candid subjects that they found the shot kinda creepy, so he requested the photo be taken offline. I apologized, explained what I was doing, and took the photo down respectfully from my flickr page. A few minutes later, the girlfriend (the subject in the photo) emailed me back saying she thought it was cool and requested if I could put it back up again. I was like “uhm… why not.”

TNTD: Recognize that folks like photojojo have recommended the sign which says “can i take your portrait it will only take 5 seconds?”

In your experience in Singapore, for every 10 people how many agree and how many decline?

Danny Santos: I guess a fair estimate would be about 2 or 3 out of 10 people decline. Although I'm very selective in who I shoot – I usually pick those whom I think are quite comfortable and confident with how they look so that pretty much helps my chances of getting a 'yes'.

TNTD: If you have a dream street shoot, where and under what circumstance?

Danny Santos: I have a lot of dream shoots… like shooting portraits of strangers in the rain, or shooting candids with light strobes a la Philip-Lorca Dicorcia's Heads, or maybe even orchestrating a street shot with models like Jeff Wall.

There's so much stuff I would like to do

TNTD: What are some unwritten rules of street photography according to Danny Santos?

- The perfect street moment comes only once in a blue moon, but when it comes to you, it's worth the wait. So have the patience of a saint.

- To capture that truly unexpected moment, sometimes you have to be unexpected yourself. Be discreet by blending in the crowd

- Great street photographers like Garry Winogrand, Daido Moriyama, and Trent Parke are very trigger-happy shooters. Learn from them. Never hesitate, just shoot.

- The fear will never go away. Just learn to deal with it. Shoot through the fear.

- Relentlessly look for inspiration. The more you immerse yourself with great photos, the higher your expectations of your own photos will be.

TNTD:. 3 Things you didn't know about Photographer Danny Santos II

a. I used to smoke 2 packs a day. It's been 4 years since my last cig.

b. My dream lens is the Nikon 24mm f1.4G. I hope to get my hands on it someday.

c. I'm a big movie buff. One of my favorite movies is the Swedish movie 'Let the Right One In'. I've read the book and seen the movie so many times that I can now watch it without subtitles.

I'll be posting a follow up blog on Danny Santos II with more photos.

I have taken some Pix in the last weeks – please tell me what you think:

Photo bracelets are fun to make and very unique. There are many different ways to make them, all of which start with tiny holders for the photo. You can find many different bitty frames at a craft store. Some are made as charms that you normally hang on a charm bracelet, others are just tiny frames that crafters can use to attach to magnets, scrapbooks and other projects.

The size and style of the bracelet you make will decide the size of frame you need. One easy bracelet is done by using stretch cord and beads. Measure a piece of cord, the approximate size of your wrist, as well as a couple of extra inches for tying. Thread the charm-type picture frame onto the cord, then begin stringing the beads on one side. Match the pattern and the amount of beads and string them onto the opposite side. Tie. Squirt glue into the hole of one bead, on the under-wrist side of the bracelet, and position the knot inside the bead. This will conceal the knot and make the bracelet look more professional.

Measure three pieces of cord, each the size of your wrist measurement, plus a couple of inches for tying. String any pattern of beads onto the cord, choosing beads that aren't too bulky or strangely shaped. After you've strung the beads stretch them over something that is the approximate size of your wrist, like a coffee cup, glue bottle, or another object. Align the beads to where the three strands are butted together and the tied part of the strings are positioned together.

Choose a picture frame that is the approximate length of the three strands together. Place glue on the back perimeter of the picture frame, after inserting the picture, then glue it over the place where the ends are tied together. This makes a cute bracelet that any mom or grandmother would love. And, you can use four or five strands, too. Choose the size you want the bracelet to be then select a frame, with no loop for hanging, to attach to the bracelet. The same designs can be done to make a choker-type necklace to match.

A different design is done with a piece of fabric or vinyl. Choosing vinyl will allow you to omit the sewing. If you'll be making a fabric bracelet, cut a strip that's a couple of inches longer than the circumference of your wrist. Stitch edges and ends. Apply snaps or velcro. Attach the photo frame to the top wrist portion of the band. If you're using colored vinyl, just install the preferred closure and glue on the picture frame. It's very easy to make a matching choker – just cut the fabric or vinyl longer.

One other idea is to braid leather strips together to make the bracelet or necklace. You can purchase hardware to make a metallic closure or make the pieces where they tie together. Use fabric glue to attach the mini frame to the braid. Charm bracelets are everywhere but homemade picture bracelets and necklaces are rare. You'll be the talk of the town when everyone sees yours, and your loved ones will be thrilled to see how much they mean to you.

I didn't read through the comments before posting mine last night, but now that I have, I'm bothered.

First off, it is offensive. Although its not a straight-up caricature as done in early black and white film (see Mickey Rooney is Breakfast at Tiffany's or this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCKxWQCs3f0) the fact of the matter is, the image is full of cliche's that non-Asians tie to Asian culture – the severe bob with bangs, the thick elongating eye makeup, and the dress with the Mandarin collar. Just b/c these images are in black and white and you can't see the color yellow, does not take away from the fact that our Sir Karl and his images of "male fantasy" are putting Claudia Schiffer in the guise of what is an "exotic woman." These are still characteristics that most people view as "exotic" and "other." Just as we know she in blackface by the afro wig and painted skin, we know that she is the exotic Asian/other with the traits he chooses to style her in here. It is another form of racism – just evolved, ugly and blanketed under the very thin guise of fashion.

Appropriating or drawing inspiration other cultures to enhance the art form is something that fashion does all the time – whether it be done well (see the Rodarte Fall 2010 collection) or done to incite discussion and attention. What happens the most is the latter, and for the most part, I (and most PoC and some of the readers here) brush it off as what it is, a stupid attention-getting tactic done artlessly. No one wants to waste their time getting riled up about people crying out to be talked about. And really, the racism gets boring after a while, because it does happen so often. You build a thick skin and move on.

When I come to a blog such as TLo's (who are neither Asian or biologically woman) where they so aptly can call out the fact the wackness of images like this (and in other posts) – its a relief. In the rabble of media that excuses this as art, they're one of the few voices that can cut through the quick to say, "bitch, please!"

People are allowed to agree or disagree, but when I read comments dismissing how something like this is not at the heart a racist gesture ekes of so much wrong to me. I am a woman of color, an Asian-American one at that – and yes, these images are boring b/c of how often these tactics are used. But lets not forget that they're also racist, and just because we'e bored, doesn't take away from the fact that they're racist and offensive.
