As always, getting notice of a photo added to Flickr Explore is a wonderful surprise, as it is often unanticipated. It’s been a while (well not that long, since early August) that it happened. But I never expect a photo to land there, unlike many in the group discussions which sound like “Wahhhh Why Are […]
What a way to close out 2017! My very last photo uploaded to flickr made it into flickr explore. Like usual, the notification of being added to the group to tracks photos In Explore came in after midnight. I grabbed a screen shot on my phone while it was still visible above the fold: Another […]
How it was done in the old days, with a film camera and a mirror. That’s my trusty old Nikkormat (sadly gpne) set up in my bathroom in Mesa. I had darkroom equipment then and processed image in the same bathroom. You kids and your sticks and mobile phones 😉 Yesterday I cracked open the […]
Hello flickr explore, it’s been a while…. Perhaps you were hungry The thing is there’s not a whole lot to say about the photo. It’s a pie. It’s the first home made apple pie of 2017, as my tree has a pretty good amount of fruit on it. The recipe is not a family secret, […]
I went out on a walk seeking a simple photo of a mountain to use in a class assignment. We have plenty of mountains where I live (I can see one from my back deck), but it’s good to try some different shots. Getting to this ridge means walking a steep dirt driveway to a […]
For anyone following my photostream in flickr, it is hard to ignore the presence of my adopted dog, Felix. I’ve got 420 tagged photos of him in 6 months! There was really good light from the window on him yesterday as he focused on his chores of chewing bones. Often he stops what he is […]
This photo got picked today for Flickr explore rather mind boggling for an iPhone pic sitting among so many stunning photos. The magic of explore is you cannot expect it, I thought maybe something was up when it showed 20 favorites this morning from people I do not know. And then shortly after I got […]
I owe this photo to a tweet that got me outside last night with my camera So you should enjoy this delicious cocktail and/or meteorological event while you can https://t.co/2gLznnjvmi — Dan Cohen (@dancohen) June 19, 2016 I learned in the process that a June full moon is known as a Strawberry Moon (not for […]
I saw this photo opportunity and almost hesitated. My foot was about to move me forward, but my inner voice said, “wait, there is something special in this light.” Or so that is how I imagine the voices working. This happened about 3/4 the way through one of the morning daily walks I do now […]
This week’s major winter storm of almost 2 feet of snow is not unusual for where I live in northern Arizona.. except it has not happened in a few years. This photo was taken on the first clear day after the 4 days of heavy clouds, and the light under the blue sky was brilliant. […]
