Found on Flickr Fridays!

OK, so maybe this isn't a photograph or some photographer we found on flickr this week, and it is only week two. But, we did find this cool app for facebook that allows you to share your photos with everyone that can view your profile. It's called, coincidentally, My Flickr. It wont win best title of the year, but it offers simple features that allow a user to share up to 30 photos direct from their flickr account on their facebook.

Many people, at least myself, have for the past been uploading pictures to both Flickr and facebook, as well as a slew of other photo sites because I want everyone to see them. While My Flickr wont let you tag photos with your friends in them, it's a convenient way to display your photographs if you are looking to show off some of your more artsy stuff. It offers a lot of features and some are honestly pointless, but a knowledgeable user will find this app useful.

1.04.2008's Word: 'Resolution'

This Flickr user, erin jaffe, had a very interesting way of portraying her way of moving into 2008. So far, two images have been posted using this split look with a simple white line to separate two images, one being a bad choice (2007) and one being a good choice (2008). The photography is simple but is artistic and has colors that pop and compliment each other. The photographs depth of field also adds a bit of emotion to the photograph that would be lost if everything was in focus. The photography style has a lot of strong vignetting that adds even more emotion to what could have been a very stiff photograph.

For 2008 I have not really made any resolutions and never really have in the past. I probably would just follow the popular resolutions that everyone seems to take. Things like getting in better shape, eating better, making more money, being happy more often. I don't like to think there is ONE goal that I have to reach, because what if you don't reach it? I like to think that new years resolutions are about bettering yourself and making a positive improvement overall.

*About This Section*
Heres hoping, each Friday I will bring you a Flickr posted photo that represents a word. Sometimes the word will have to do with an event that occurred during the week, or sometimes it will be something totally random. The idea is to expose people to photography and photographers that aren't getting exposed, and to expose photographers that should be getting exposed. It's really just for fun and to see some interesting shoots people have taken.
