I was shocked when I visited the Jupiter Inlet today and found people actually surfing it. Being an amatuer photographer I have grown acustom to watching surfers, and wipe out and recover… I quickly noticed the few who were braving the inlet were very good, and recovered quickly. The waves were fast, and one kid even fell, recovered and caught the wave again, it was mind blowing…. Here are the best 5 pictures from the day, the kid went in and came out the barrel….

Google+ going away? There continues to be talk of Google+going away, and I have seen with my own eyes, the end users slowly disappearing or at least becoming less active. I don’t believe anyone will topple Facebook, until they come out with something that is really cool, different, and a lot better. Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest have all succeeded because they are their own idea. They are different enough, that they offered something not fulfilled by Facebook. Google+ went for the jugular and tried to be Facebook. Those who use Google+ would probably agree the news feed is better, showing more at one time, and larger images, with items that received extraordinary engagement getting superior placement – Full Screen. They have also built some really phenomenal features into the Android portion of the account, especially when dealing with photography. I realize this is not a big deal for most end users, however purely using the auto backup feature, should be interesting to anyone who has ever lost their phone. Auto Awesome The auto backup “Auto Awesome” feature is a lot of fun, and adds to the experience. Auto Awesome changes frequently, but will do things such as; create a grid of your photos, filter the photo, or even animate when you take multiple pictures of the same thing. Google+ Overlay Photo Grid Animated Multiple Pictures Google Stories A feature rolled out this year, is Google Stories. Google stories are also taken from your auto backup, and will automatically tag the photograph if your location services is running on your phone. I take a lot of pictures, both of the scenery and of my kids. I love being able to go back and look at the stories that Google puts together for me, its a glance at the best pictures from any particular time period. I was more than a little disappointed this morning that couldn’t embed my story for you here. I was forced to do screen captures, but if you want to see the original story click Friday in Jupiter This particular story, has some nice imagery of the water, a photosphere of the beach, and quite possibly the funniest video I have captured of my daughter. So is Google+ Going Away? Obviously I don’t know if or when Google+ is going to disappear into the abyss of Social Media sites that never quite made it. What I don’t get is what is going to happen to all these great features? My assumption is that Google+ for the public would disappear, and those with Gmail and Android phones will continue to have G+ accounts. This will surely be limited in functionality, maybe they will just roll G+ features in Google Drive, or YouTube or maybe Maps Views… Google Maps Views came out of early this year, and is your Google+ account integrated with Street Views.

Today is the 34th Anniversary of John Lennon’s Murder by Mark David Chapman. Now in prison, he pled guilty to murdering John Lennon on December 8, 1980. Lennon was shot outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Chapman fired at Lennon five times, hitting him four times in his back. Remaining at the scene of the crime, Chapman was apprehended reading J. D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye, and stated repeatedly, that the novel was his statement. John Lennon was taken from us at a very young age, the front man for arguably one of the biggest music act of all time, The Beatles. Some of the records they hold include being the best-selling music artist ever, with an estimated 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 sales worldwide to date. They have the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s (20) of all time, and are the only group to have held both the #1 and #2 spots in the US album chart for nine straight weeks on two separate occasions. During the week of April 4, 1964, the Beatles held twelve positions in the Billboard Hot 100, including the top five spots; neither feat has ever been repeated. John Lennon spoke to those kids of the 60s, and in turn those kids passed on their love of the easy going, and some times psychedelic sounds. Strawberry Fields is a memorial in Central Park, New York City, NY. It was dedicated on what would of been Lennon’s 45 birthday October 9, 1985. The entrance is directly across from the Dakota Building where he was murdered in 1980. A few days ago on The Jonathan Ross Show, Paul McCartney opened up about the death of John Lennon, and the effect that had on him.
