_05/06/12_ Raku Rhino
This colorful rhino is created in the Japanese raku-style, although we did buy it in South Africa. They had all sorts of different animals, but we chose this one, partly because we never saw one in the wild. I think this might actually be the final Africa souvenirs to make it into my One/Day Project. I already took photos of all the others.
In other news, I've decided to take this gallery out of the Daily Photos community. At least for now.
There's been a lot of talk about people upset with the thumbs up/down and PhotoRank. I really don't think there's anything malicious going on. I do miss the thumbs up/down buttons on the Daily Photo galleries, because I used them to quickly give people thumbs up as I usually don't have time to look through and comment on the photos I like. And yes, occasionally I used the evil thumbs down button, too. It's OK not to like everything.
My biggest issue, however, is that I feel like I lost a level of control over my own galleries. I want my galleries to have a certain look and feel, and I want to have my custom nav banner at the top. I lost that with the recent changes. I know there's a big redesign coming up, and I'd be happy to rejoin if things are improved.
If you're a member of the Daily Photos community and you want to keep seeing my photos, please bookmark this gallery. Or contact me on Twitter [@jawsnap]. I'll be around, still posting every day.
