Flickr Love

I flippin' love flickr. It is a fantastic place to share, post, view, comment, and explore photography. I even believe that it is one area where Yahoo has outdone Google. I can spend more time flipping through the beauty on flickr than I can on the dime a dozen applications in the facebook realm.

The site itself is so powerful. The front end, while not pretty, lets you get anywhere you need to be. The focus is on the picture rather than on the website. By searching for effective tags/titles of pictures you can find an image of almost anything. Say you want to see a picture taken by a specific lens or camera; just search for that item. I can learn photo techniques, get tips, and drool over how I want to work on HDR pictures, because they are some of the most fascinating things I've ever seen.

My roommate Michael is studying abroad next semester, and I was able to find pictures of the places he is going. I wanted to see sweet snowboarding pics and found them. This website is truly an artist's haven and I want to be drawn into it.


In general, photography has become one of my top hobbies as of late. I love the art that it is. I do not get a chance to create anything new...instead, I capture that which was in front of me and can alter it. It seems like I get to create the snapshots of God's creation. What an honor that is. I have a few new pictures up as well from Rock for Honduras. Check them out here.
