I’m doing a little end-of-the-year Flickring.
One of my goals next year is to spend more time cruising around Flickr. It’s a remarkable concept and a remarkable site; I could easily spend hours there any day of the week. After completing my 30holidays (well, 29holidays… you don’t realize how difficult it can be to take a themed photo a day until you actually try it) project, I’ve really come to respect the quality and diversity of the photos on the site.
My primary interest (as any participant to BarCamp Manchester can attest) is the integration of time and location into a photograph. I found two examples just tonight of how this can really bring out some interesting relationships.
Flickr user Lolisa attended the Penobscot Narrows Bridgewalk. She took some pictures that day. I took some pictures that day. Apparently we both really liked the cables (hers, mine).
I took my first 30holidays photo on November 26 at 10:47 AM. The subject was a lamppost on Central Street in Bangor. Molbl0g, a user who appears to be from somwhere around Boston, took a picture directly across the street… on November 26… at 11:31 AM. The lamppost I shot is probably right out of view. (She also visited Bagel Central, where I’ll be tomorrow morning.)
