This is the third, final photo of 'The Metro Entrance Trilogy', three photos

of a group taken almost all at once. Some have encouraged me to

take 'series' when in fact I do that all the time but mostly just post one

of each series and leave the others in my archives - who wants to look

at a lot of photos alike of the same subjects? I had wondered what to

do ith these photos in posting, because I like them all, and all are

somewhat different. Your ratings, critiques and observations are invited

and most welcome. If you rate harshly, very critically, or just wish to

make a remark, please submit a helpful and constructive comment;

thank you in advance for sharing your photographic knowledge to help

improve my photography. Enjoy! John

This photo was indexed in US and Russian sites by google.com in less than 30 minutes.

Once when I posted a comment about a prominent photo figure, who is famous, a friend, and a mentor and who also has a Lucie award, it took Google not only 18 minutes to index the comment, but it also was placed prominently (first or second under his name).

That's because then my work was featured VERY prominently under his name.

So my remark went there too.

Once, I was looked at askance when someone made a post that linked me with something that made a connection that I considered disparaging and asked for rapid action on the post.

I don't think it was taken into account what Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was credited with saying:

'A lie can race halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes'.

The importance of acting swiftly when disparagement is made, defamatory or not, was not learned by Al Gore or John Kerry, both of whom did not respond quickly or firmly enough to orchestrated campaigns of disparagement.

One or both probably lost the presidency because of their failure to recognize the new reality in the Internet/digital age, where lies race around the world numerous times before anybody's truth now can locate their shoes.

Google.com's fast and certain people rely on that, and also on prominence.,

The NY Times featured yesterday an article on a man in a NY Borough, who sells eye wear and purposely insults and demeans, even threatens his customers in order to get complaints which pushes his firm higher on the Google.com list.

That earns him more business, and with each new complaint he told a NY Times reporter, he climbs higher.  He seemed proud of his 'business acumen' as well as his belligerence.

He was Russian-named.

The Russians might have called him a cyber-hooligan as 'hooligan' was once a famous 'Russian-Soviet' word.

Best we not forget the power of Google.com and other search engines.

It can be very helpful, and I am forever thankful to the founders, for they have made my photos and my name accessible to the whole world easily as they have made many prominent PN members' photos.

But there is a down side too, waiting for exploitation, as that Brooklyn eyewear dealer showed.

It's only a matter of time, perhaps before others?

Musings.

John, When you have exhibited a trilogy, one at a time, I suggest you put them together in a single folder.  Then viewers can simply press the left or right arrows to see the others.  Without that it takes the motivation to search your portfolio which takes more time than most viewers wish to spend.

Regards,

Jerry

The problem is that from any one folder, only the first photo shows in 'folder view' so the very act of posting all in one folder means the 'last posted' is the only one featured prominently.

That's why I featured them individually, then posted them as a trio.

Then I arranged their folder placement on my main page so all folders were one on top of the other, so the effect you seek would happen but not from left to right, but from up to down (or vice versa).

You see, I really did have reader comfort in mind.

If you go to 'folder view' with all my folders showing, top to botton, you'll see my point (at least for now while they're featured in critique)

Thanks, Jerry.
