Rando. Or rather, my review of Rando the random photo sharing app. I can't recall who introduced me to this app a month ago or I'd tag him. Yes, I do remember the person was a him .

It's been a month or so since I downloaded the Rando app from the Google Play Store . I read about it in a post on Google+ and decided to give it a try. It's a fun little app reminiscent of chatroulette, but so far, without all the penises. The premise is simple: take a picture, upload it up to the internet aethyr and receive one in return. The names, no connections, no nothing. You take pictures. You send pictures. You receive pictures. That's all there is to Rando. As they state on their Play page: Description Rando is an experimental photo exchange platform. Give, receive and collect unique photos from random people from all over the world. A rando must be sent for one to be received. It's about gifting rather than sharing. You will never know who received the rando, they will never know who sent it. You will know the location of where it landed, the receiver will know where in the world it was taken. Build your rando collection with unique cultural sights from aro

 “Jesus” has become the scariest word in my vocabulary because it reminds me that at any moment someone might decide it’s their right to lock me in a room and make me pray. I've never been locked in a room against my will, but I have been on the receiving end of a social backlash for daring to swim against the current in regards to christianity. Like this girl, I've submitted to customs of praying at friends houses or attending church events with a SO in order to maintain the peace and keep my choice of belief system to myself. These days I'm older and more sure of myself. If someone tried this with me, they better bring the police with them and be prepared for a lawsuit against unlawful restraint and/or kidnapping. They preyed on a young woman in a vulnerable state. They should be ashamed of themselves and their actions. http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/it-happened-to-me-my-optometrist-locked-me-in-an-exam-room-and-forced-me-to-pray-to-jesus

Is it that big of a deal?

Took Rufus and Charlie to the dog park for a little fun in the Colorado Sun. I didn't bring the dSLR and regretted it almost immediately as the dogs that were there were very photogenic. The grass had some yellow flowers sprouting all over the place, so I tried to grab a couple of shots of the dogs in the green and yellow. Below are some of those Android shots, edited with the Snapseed app.

Yes, I know, more pictures from on the go, but hey, what are you going to do? Cameras are fairly prevalent now. These are just a couple of shots from walking my dog yesterday afternoon. We hit the Sun's light and clouds just right and to be honest, I wish it had been one of those walks where I brought my dSLR. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't bring it and usually when I don't I wished I had. Thank the gods for cell phone cameras! Such is life. The first shot (if they show in order) is of the clouds rolling in from the south  the second is of a tree highlighted by the afternoon light with the clouds adding texture to the sky and the third is my roommate's dog resting his head on my lap.

I've been playing photographer since the early 90s. First in high school where I learned the ins and outs of the dark room and had my first experience with an SLR camera and then again as an active duty soldier in the Army when I bought an SLR for documenting my travels and experiences. I continued taking pictures and re-acquainted myself with the darkroom while taking the obligatory art credit in college.
