Facebook is the worlds largest collection of disorganized, impossible to search, photos.

I rarely donate photos to Mark Zuckerberg, instead linking to pics in my Flickr account.

… But I have to admit this new thumbnail preview format Facebook is rolling out looks great. One of the few “improvements” ever that I would instantly call an improvement.

You know what I’m talking about …

Every time we let the general sports photographer into our gyms, the photo chosen (out of hundreds) is a crotch shot.

I won’t link to this AP photo as I’m not wanting to send them even one visitor.

It happened at the Canadian Championships this year too. The local sports reporter working for us was terrific. Later the paper’s sports photographer rolled in, wandered the floor, and posted a crotch shot unrelated in any other way to the results of the meet. Or the text of the article.

There’s no debate on this topic. Photographers that deliberately choose photos that emphasize the genitals of girls and young women should be named, denounced and specifically disallowed ever to attend our competitions in future.

Feel free to name names in the comments if you know of a scumbag photographer you’d like to ban.

Update: I was invited by Gummi Brynjólfsson to attend a year end gymnastics performance at Gerpla, the biggest club in Iceland. They were celebrating the 40th anniversary of the club founding.

All 4 shows this weekend were sold out. I’ll post some video clips of the excitement soon.

The Reykjavík phone book (or catalog) is covered with gymnasts, front and back. These girls are European Champions in Team Gymnastics. They are kind of a big deal here at home.

I’m next headed north on the ringroad out of Reykjavík tonight, on the island for a couple of weeks hiking holiday.
