This past week, CBC Television and Radio One made some changes in regards to their news programming. One of the largest changes, for me, was a new-format CBC Radio Overnight. For several years this has helped put me to sleep (in a good way); and I enjoyed listening to programming from a good variety of public broadcasters worldwide -- which was the point of Overnight when it started in 1995.

Now? I can pick out only three two countries represented -- Australia, the UK (BBC World Service) and Canada itself (programming from Radio Canada International -- two hours' worth, not to mention Radio One reruns!).

While I can still get to sleep, this isn't exactly the variety I and other listeners have enjoyed over the years.

Over the years, these are the countries I can think of that have been represented, aside from Australia and the UK: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Korea, Sweden, The Netherlands, South Africa. There may've been other countries featured in the past, but the ones I've listed are the ones I can remember.

Seriously, CBC? You can do better! You have done better! Fix Overnight, please!

I've merged my photoblog, Shellyfoto, with my main blog. (Some posts from there didn't survive, from the looks of it, but that's alright.)

Shellyfoto will be deleted by month's end. is no longer.

The Impossible Project inspires Polaroid to re-launch Instant Cameras

We are pleased to herewith announce a history making cooperation between Polaroid and The Impossible Project:

As we have created quite some buzz about Analog Instant Photography over the past 12 months, the Polaroid licensee - The Summit Global Group - now can't resist any longer and announced at a press conference on October 13th in Hongkong that they will re-launch some of the most famous Polaroid Instant Cameras.

Therefore they are commissioning The Impossible Project to develop and produce a limited edition of Polaroid branded Instant Films in the middle of 2010.

The Impossible Project is proud and excited that its ambitions and all the relentless work that has already been invested are now becoming the foundation for Polaroid's comeback as a producer of Instant Cameras.

Large-scale production and worldwide sale of The Impossible Project's new integral film materials under its own brand will already start in the beginning of 2010 - with a brand new and astonishing black and white Instant Film and the first colour films to follow in the course of the year.

(Link added.) Excellent news for fans and afficionados of instant film!

I'm starting the 52 Weeks project on Flickr.

I like the idea of the 365 Days Project, on which 52 Weeks was based. However, I'm not sure I have the determination to take one self-portrait a day for an entire year. One selfie a week for a year, on the other hand... *nods*
