It’s day one here at the web conference Future of web apps in London. Carl and me headed of to the conference hall ExCel at 8.30. Today we have listened to brilliant speeches around technology and how great services work. Everybody from small startups in San Francisco and the UK to corporations and media companies arrived at this event. So far we have listened to Digg, Twitter, Google and a bunch of other companies with really innovative and fun speakers.

Ben Huh at icanhascheeseburger.com gave a fantastic speech about building interesting stuff that people can interact with and getting everybody involved. That is definitely something we want to do at Jalbum. We want sisters, travel buddys and grandparents to share the fun at Jalbum.

Tomorrow we will go on listening to more interesting people and also upload a photo album to share the enthusiasm and atmosphere.

If you have come from a photography school, or have been part of a photography organization that judges your photos, you may have lingering phobias of improperly composing your photographs (due to the heavy hand that is about to "correct" you!). When it comes to fine art photography, there is no need to follow the rules set out by those above you . . . and often it is in breaking these established rules that the most dynamic and thought provoking works arise.

This photo is taken for the purpose of hanging on a wall. The wallpaper design is from the Arts and Crafts movement and the off-center composition in a jarring manner, grabs the attention of the viewer. The wallpaper design and placement of the historic painting takes the image from documentary to abstract, and provides for an interesting work to hang on a wall.

A good location to find textured wallpaper is at an historic settlement, if there is one near where you live. This image was taken at a settlement called King's Landing, in New Brunswick, Canada.

Thanks to professional photographer Mark Hemmings (www.markhemmings.com) for writing this photo tip.
