Facebook has a problem with pictures of Breast feeding?
It seems that Facebook has taken issue with pictures of women breast feeding their children. As a dad of 3 young boys and a photographer I know first hand that the breast-feeding picture is one of the first a new parent takes. Either somebody at Facebook has made a silly error of judgment, or the place is run by pre-parents who find breasts to be only sexual objects. (OK I’m joking about the latter, but still, this is ridiculous).
As a contribution to the protest that has broken out I have created an album on fotonuats that is entirely open to others to add pictures to. Below is a widget showing the current pictures. You can get a copy of it here – http://www.fotonauts.com/albums/00636fa0-9cdf-4990-ba19-05d0ca7d0728 – just pull down the actions drop-down and make your own widget.
Please do so and put it on your own web site.
If you want to add images to the album get accepted to the fotonauts beta process here – http://www.fotonauts.com/about/invite, download the application and drag your own images into the album.
Here is the discussion from the web:

Keith Teare, Michael Arrington and Jean-Marie Hullot – 1999-2002. On fotonauts.
fotonauts released a new build of the Mac beta today and it got me to playing with it again. It can now access Facebook files and also file system based images. It already had iPhoto, Aperture, Picasa and Flickr.
So, here is a memory jogger. this is an album of RealNames related people and events between 1998 and 2002.
Wow! Mike looks young. And so does Jean-Marie. As for me. I look pretty much the same 
. But what great memories. And now shared…

Canon 5D Mk II and Nikon D3X and Hitler – Hilarious
I just took delivery of a new Canon 5D Mark II. Its a 21 megapixel hottie with full 1080p video. Here’s an example video of my 2 year old - http://gallery.me.com/kteare#100150.
Then, Nikon announced a 24.5 Megapixel D3X for $8000 (the Canon is $2699.00). It doesn’t do video! And by many measures it is a worse camera.
Here’s what Hitler thinks – warning, it is VERY funny.
