About 9 weeks ago Filter Google+ search results to only show photo posts

You can now filter your Google+ search results to only show photo posts. Just type in what you’re looking for, and select “Photos” from the filter dropdown.

You can find any photo post that’s shared with you -- from items shared only with you, to public photos shared by some of the great photographers on Google+. Here are some searches that I enjoy:

- Long exposure: https://plus.google.com/s/long%20exposure/photos
- Steel wool: https://plus.google.com/s/steel%20wool/photos
- Cartoons: https://plus.google.com/s/cartoons/photos

We hope you enjoy using this feature. Keep the feedback coming!

About 2 weeks ago I work in software for a living, so I'm usually pretty good at reading dialog boxes when they pop up in various places as I use my computer. Tonight, I got one from AVG that I clicked blindly to get out of the way -- and apparently I should have read it more carefully because it completely pwned my browser. I imagine it said something like:

We're about to do something really douchey.
[X] Ok, go for it
[X] I'm not going to read any of these options
[X] And I didn't like my default search engine anyway
                                                          [OK]

And, on top of it all, the minimal undo functionality they offer doesn't even work.

If you're a sucker like me, hopefully this little visual guide can help you get your browser fixed back up in a jiffy.

Does anyone out there have an AV program they recommend? I'm even willing to pay not to have to deal with this crap again.

About 5 days ago 6 Things to Love About The New Google+ Photos

There are a lot of features to discover in the new Google+!  Here are some of my favorite updates to Photos you might not have found yet.

1. Highlights view. The new photos landing page is called Highlights and it's your photo timeline -- showing you not only your best photos, but the best photos your friends have shared with you.

2. Trash view. Now when you delete photos, they go to the trash for 60 days. When you visit your trash, you can choose to restore photos (for those "oops" moments) or delete them permanently.

3. Photos search. When you do a search from the photos page, we'll search all your uploaded photos. It's pretty smart too -- we've brought all the awesomeness of Google search to your photo collection.

4. New organize mode. We have a brand new album organizer which makes it a breeze to reorder and choose a cover photo.

5. Auto enhance. When you upload photos

About 5 weeks ago I just got back from a phenomenal trip to Cuba with +David Hobby and a about a dozen other really talented photographers. If you have the opportunity to visit Cuba, you should -- the weather is warm, the cars are old, the people are friendly, and the rum and cigars are really cheap :)

At the end of the trip, each photographer showcased 6 of their favorite photos from the week. Here are my 6, but there will be more coming as soon as I have time to do some more editing!
