Flickr Joy

The purchase of a new camera for a trip to Amsterdam, and my discovery of Flickr have combined into a full fledged photo-mania. Nothing to rival Timo's photo-mania, but still pretty good. I even bought another camera, a real-life SLR. I've generally thought of my self as a lousy photographer. I tend to do something analogous to bad amateur painters. You can tell by looking at the painting that they fundamentally value the paint in the tube more than the paint on the canvas. In the tube it has a price tag, and potential. On the canvas, not so much. And I was like that with film. What a difference a gig of memory can make.

So I decided to do this Day in the Life thing. A group of people decided to take pictures on the same day, Dec 21, and put them all together. It was promoted on the Flickr blog. I took about 200 photos from 9:00 am to 11:30 pm. I uploaded about 20 to my Flickr account and added the maximum suggested 15 to the Day in the life Group.

Of the 500+ photos posted, the swell people at the Flickr blog picked one of mine to post. That made my day. And I don't feel like such a lousy photographer anymore.

You can see how I spent Tuesday, December 12th 2004, right here.
