A calendar made of humans; a clock made of photos

Published by taylorloran under Uncategorized Edit This

I was browsing the blogsphere and ended up on Humancalendar.com. “What a cool idea,” I thought. So I printed one off for my desk at work and decided to share it with you.

However, the better find was this guy’s other site: Humanclock.com

People submit photos with a time of day in them somewhere and he puts them into a rotation where every minute of the day you get to see a different picture.

For the last few hours I’ve been pretty addicted to this site, keeping it in the background and checking it pretty much every minute to see what the new photo is going to be.

The creator is a pretty interesting guy (or at least what he writes on his site is interesting). I found myself reading through the entire “about” page and most of the FANAQ (frequently and never asked questions).

Here is what humanclock.com guy has to say about his human clock creation:

Humanclock.com has both digital and analog clock formats. The digital clock consists of 18,248 photos, each representing a single minute of the day in some shape or fashion. The analog clock is a true “human clock” if there is such a definition. These photos don’t change as much since there is a lot more preparation involved in creating analog clock photos.”

Already the ideas are stirring in my head. I’ll have to give this a try and submit a photo for the clock. I wonder what time I’ll choose.

Spice up a boring photo with these cool Web sites

Does the image in the poster behind the guy look familiar to you? Find out why.

It’s summer now, but where I live it’s not acting like it. The past few days have been stormy, so I’ve been spending more time inside than I usually do. And what better way to waste some time, than with a few Web sites that allow you to have fun with your photos.

Johnmonte.com introduced me to these sites a while back in a blog post, so go there, or to the link above to check out the photo sites themselves. (The three sites are Photofunia, Fun Photobox and Photo505. The last one will gives you the most customization, but don’t rule out the other two, they have some fun concepts that Photo505 doesn’t have.)

But if you just want to see some of the cool stuff these sites can do with your photos, then keep scrolling.

I’ll give you a hint. I didn’t take a photo of some woman walking down the street.
