Okay. Let’s pretend that each of the following speedlinks corresponds to a day of the work week. Think stereotypical work days here. Hang with me on this…
Monday. Mondays can catch you off guard. Sometimes with bad news, but other times with good news. This feels like a Monday link:
Did you hear? Seattle-based photographer Lloyd Shugart wins 1.32 million dollars in the first noted victory for photography under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Lesson here? Register your images. If this sort of stuff interests you, read about my ongoing thingie with K2 and/or watch the Photoshelter 2.0 Panel discussion that comments on the topic.
Tuesday. Tuesdays can be funny and wierd. Thus, this here feels like a Tuesday link:
Okay, I get a lot of email, but this was the funniest one from last week. Someone asked for me to send them a pair of my shoes. Seriously. Here’s their message:
Chase, I’ve just seen the NYC Photoshelter footage and decided to see how far i can go with my images and Business if I walk the Chase walk.
In part of the NYC Photoshelter footage I found out that we share the same shoe size….so how better to walk a mile in another mans shoes than actually walk in his shoes…….Chase, send me your shoes…..
1763 [xxxxx] Lane
Brentwood,CA

Cheers, Russ

That being funny and witty and cool and weird, you get props from me. You’ve walked my talk Russ–you got my attention for sure–And for it, I’m actually planning on sending you a pair of shoes. And you more than deserve a link: see the photography behind this nice guy who wants my old shoes at Russell Byrne Photography.
Wednesday. Wednesdays are cool because they’re called “hump days”. Thus, when I think about humps, I think about several things. That’s part of what make this playful link featuring a topless babe perfect for hump day.
(Thanks, David)
Thursday. Thursdays seem to me to be a day where a lot of useful information seems to move around on the net. That’s what makes this feel like the perfect Thursday link:
Apple and HP are at it again, doing good for photographers, and doing it for free. They present… IMAGES: organize. edit. print. It’s a free 3 hour seminar coming to a city near you.

Friday. Alas, Fridays are meant for some good ol’ light hearted (brainless?) fun. That’s what makes this a Friday link:
Surprisingly-entertaining online Photography Game (that’s right!) featuring the one and only, Superman. You must play. It’s Friday. I scored 55. You?
Have a great weekend.

I got a 70 on my first round out. Dang… I beat CJ, man! (Too bad I couldn’t beat him in a real shoot out though
Woohoo 136 first try.

Chase takes way better pictures than me though.

92…. leave it there, not going back to stuff it up next time! lol
Cheers for all your posts Chase. Always nice when I check in and there’s something new waiting.
Not to brag, but I got a 93… and got a fluke on my last round, he wouldn’t fly in the frame!
124
114.
129 first try!
Thanks chase for all the killer stuff you post and the positive attitude – the world can use a little more of that!

Whoa! Check out Ken Mott! 136! I just returned from a location scouting day and played again but only managed to squeek out a 106.
Ken Mott is king.
(along with Russ for his email of the week)
Ok…a late rush of 120′s… I see. Some folks are practicing. I’m banking on somebody posting a really high score this weekend when they’ve got some time
Screen grab for anything the beats Ken’s score. Email them to info@ I’ll send you a free Chase Brand T-shirt.
just scored a 141, i’ll be sending you an email!
Damn he´s fast! I got all the way to Metropolis but all the excitement made me forget to check out my points…. ;o) Great for this very early saturday morning (my little son does not want to sleep as long as mom & dad…)
And what a great laugh, the topless babe!
Did you send the guy his shoes yet by the way?
Well… I only scored 109… no t-shirts for me
BUT, I made the front page of the Daily Planet for London, Hong Kong, Sydney and Metropolis (wherever it is…) yahooo!
121.. had been much higher if it was a Nikon camera
Hey everyone: so I’m on a Brooks Running (www.brooksrunning.com) shoot right now in Aspen. And Russell gets some shoes. Brooks always give me lots of shoes. Should I send Russell a brand new pair of Brooks Running shoes, size 11. Or should I send him some old, beat up kicks?
Please advise.
So I mentioned we’re on the road. And we’re playing Superman. Kate just hooked up a 118. should I give her anything? Besides maybe a day off?
Yeah!, Just scored 147 !
I’m supposed to study for my exams this week…. looks like anything is good to avoid studying
Chase, you’ll receive my email in a few minutes
I had a 148 on friday as well
http://tinyurl.com/234ydq
damn, I should have spend a couple more hours on this game
158.
enough for me, now.
Nice, if i get bored at work i will have to try again.
And do you use the +/- keys?
Chase; send the guy some old beat-up shoes – how else could he walk the Chase-walk?
;o)

By the look of the time printed on these postings, you all will soon be going to bed…… My day just started on the other side of the Atlantic. Think I´ll begin the day with a Superman photo-shoot.
It´s addictive this!
Sleep tight!
Malin
ken : yes I do use the +/- key, but often I don’t go all the way with the zoom, you can make 10/10 shots without having to go to the long end of the zoom.
what I hate the most, is when superman stops passing after only one or two passages in the screen. In london, it happend almost everytime I tapped 3 times or more on the + key.
chase the shoe decision should be a no-brainer. See Malin’s comment. My additional argument would be that beat up shoes are always more comfy for walking any sort of walk.
My superman score is still 0 after 3 tries; its not a pretty sight (actually my mouse-pointer-device simply doesn’t allow finger slidin’ and clicking or tapping at the same time)

I got 147 the first time I played back in May: http://www.flickr.com/photos/delineated/508353787
Have scored higher since, but didn’t screen cap it. D’oh!
