Rebuilding our Twitpic account so that the cool new embedded portfolio feature in the Journal reflects the best of our photography and updates nicely as good new work comes along.

A day taking care of business and chores at home. Rain threatened but never arrived. Reading Dr. King's autobiography between tasks all day long. A constant inspiration. Did almost my whole long todo list, and have a jump on the remaining items.

Riding by Bournside Street today something rang a bell - that's where the 2005 Graveside Massacre took place. Checked, sure enough at #43. Called the Melville neighborhood of Fields Corner. A few blocks away in our generally peaceful Dot hood. If I recall correctly Rev. Eugene Rivers lives next door.

Checked the house out this morning. A large, handsome middle class Victorian opposite Town Field. The owner sold it and moved away soon after the shootings. Now me, I wouldn't go down in the cellar. I'm not superstitious - 'when you believe in things you don't understand - but a trauma like must linger, if not in one's imagination certainly. Sprays of fake red roses on the pillars of the porch flanking the steps.

We featured Sarah H. about a week ago with an unusual self-portrait. Here she is again with another really interesting image. The caption is simply ... ♥. I guess that says it all. Such a touching picture.

TwitPick is our pick of images selected from Twitpic, the online service hosting pictures in connection with Twitter. Twitpic finally has a new interface. It took them long enough to figure out that the old one was hideous and didn't work. There's even a search function now. I mean, helloe, have you ever seen a commercial website without one?

This is an unusual portrait, or perhaps self portrait. Just half the face and that cropped at the top and bottom. But it's all that's needed.

It was taken up close with a fairly wide lens which really emphasizes the drawing or the three dimensional image. I frequently like this strategy. With people I like to get in close with a shorter lens. Long lens tend to flatten things out, making the image two dimensional.

I love looking at people's photographs, that's got to be obvious. Why else would anyone in their right minds spend time trolling Twitpic? But every now and then something clicks in this vast wasteland of images - food, doggies, babies, kitties and feet.

Sometimes just totally spontaneous pictures really work. They have a life about them. This is one of them. And the combination of colors is cool, plus her friend in the corner taking the photo.
