'''Followfocus''' is a traveling photographer,writer and the sole owner of Followfocus Productions. The artist's focus is to shoot natural landscapes, old architecture, and off the beaten path places of interest. In 2007, Followfocus Productions was created to create a presence and awareness about the natural environment around us. Much of the artists work revolves around documenting and photographing our natural resources in order to create this awareness which is accomplished Through gallery shows and the artist's website,
company located in [[Directory:Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], [[Directory:California|California]].


== History ==
Followfocus has been shooting since the age of ten, when he purchased a Kodak 110 cartridge film camera from Eckerd's drugstore. Originally from Texas, his family often vacationed in Colorado every year. The family would often drive from Texas to Colorado in the family car. It was on these long roadtrips where Followfocus became aware of old architecture, landscape photography, and the effects of urban sprawl and development and how it is ruining the environment.

== Artist's Vision ==
Each year that my family and I went on vacation, I noticed drastic changes in the environment. An old farm over here becomes a shopping mall, a beautiful lake over there is now a Wal-Mart parking lot. Each time we took a trip West, I would notice something else along the way that was being destroyed, or had vanished altogether. I have always loved the ghost towns, old houses, ancient barns, and farms I would see along the way, but they were quickly getting bulldozed to make room for more development. Most of the buildings built now are built with cheap materials. Materials that are so cheap, only after a few years, deterioration has already begun, but it doesn’t appear to matter in today’s society. Soon, these new buildings will be torn down to make way for newer buildings. But at what cost to the environment? Its amazing how some of the old buildings and houses have lasted for so long. This should be an indication to our society,who I like to refer to as "the disposable generation", about how building something to last really is better for the environment in the long run. We live in such a disposable society: constantly rebuilding and throwing away. We do this in almost every facet of our lives as we have succumbed to the effects of consumerism. More land is bulldozed to make way for new houses and strip malls. Trees are cut down, rivers and streams are rerouted, lakes are filled in, surface water, groundwater, air quality, landscape aesthetics, and wildlife habitats are destroyed in the process, all in the name of expansion, urban sprawl and greed."

==Question About Interwikis==

JA: I copied our article on [[Inquiry]] over to the [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Main_Page P2P Foundation Wiki], so it looks like [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Inquiry this] over there and I asked the Chief Cook there, [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Talk:Bauwens%2C_Michel#Interwikis Michel Bauwens], if he could make a Mywikibiz interwiki to cover the resulting redlinks, but he didn't know how to do that, so I was wondering if it was something that was simple enough to explain to him? TIA, [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 12:38, 17 January 2008 (PST)

:This looks to be quite complicated, involving scripts to the database. I'll keep researching hoping to discover a more simplified explanation than [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map here] --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 13:31, 17 January 2008 (PST)

==Question About RDF Export==

JA: I don't know anything about RDF, but I notice that our RDF Export pages come up a lot on Google searches before anything else does. However, they all seem to contain a lot of references to Centiare URLs, so I was wondering if this was a problem from a SEO standpoint. For example, see:
* http://www.mywikibiz.com/Special:ExportRDF/Directory:Jon_Awbrey
JA: Thanks, [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 13:38, 20 January 2008 (PST)

:Thanks for bringing this SEO problem to my attention. I'll see if I can fix this in the semantic settings file that I previously overlooked. --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 14:04, 20 January 2008 (PST)

All fixed, thanks JA. --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 15:04, 20 January 2008 (PST)

== Best format for semantic dates ==

I'm going to be compiling about 8 or 10 semantic attributes on the airline disasters:
#Aircraft type
#Airline
#State (where crash occurred)
#Nearest airport
#Cause (Air traffic control, Weather, Wildlife, Mechanical flaw, Instrument failure, Hijacking, Pilot error, Military engagement)
#Passengers (including crew)
#Fatalities
#Survivors
#Date
That last one, I'm curious to get your opinion. What's the best way to format the date so that it can be properly sorted in an ASK query table? Should I just go with year? I don't want the table sorting all the January dates, then the February dates, etc. -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 07:04, 8 April 2008 (PDT)

:I'd say go with YYYY-MM-DD as show on [[Attribute:Date]] --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 09:08, 8 April 2008 (PDT)
==Question About Google Ad Placement==
Hi Karen, I just got off the phone with your brother Greg. He mentioned to me that I should ask you about google ads. I tried to copy and paste the code that google spit out on my page but it does not work, so I just used the template already in the page and then added my pub number to it. How do I place ads n my page the way google intended? They have some really neat ad types that I would love to incorporate. Thanks! I am new to this type of coding, so its taking me a bit of time to get used to how it all works! Thanks so much in advance!
