Flickr Friend Photo Frenzy - Part 1 of 2
Kimberly Bock I have bizarre friends for sure. Some rant. Some are pollyanna’s. Some are marketers. Some are self improvement gurus. Some are green activists. Some are as crazy as I am, and some are so low key, I barely know they are there.
I was visiting my contacts in Flickr to check them out. You know, getting a better feel for who they are and what they’re about by way of their photo tastes.
Do you have a Flickr account? Or Picasso/other photo account? When’s the last time you searched through your friends photos to get to know them better? If you haven’t, give it a try. They may just show you a side of themselves you were unaware of. Then again..maybe that’s scary..eek!
Well, since I have some free time and love sharing new things that I encounter, I figured I’d introduce you to some of my friends personalities by grabbing photos from each of my Flickr pals. There are many photos to sort through, so I will break it down into 2 posts.
I’m traveling in no particular order here, one row at a time on my list of contacts is all…

her best friend, Lilly Aramburo, has been missing for a very long time. We suspect she is dead and the police have been of little to no help whatsoever. This is Lilly:
Tamera Kremer - I thought this photo of her expressed a natural sweet side -
“Tamera and Dog”
thp365 - This guy adds poetic excerpts to his photos. I love that - This particular account is a challenge to himself to take 365 days of self portraits. (His main account is todderick42)
His excerpt,
“So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
Before they call your bluff and watch you fall?
I don’t know, but I’d like to think I had control
At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight, but the revolution’s years away
I’m losing faith and I’m running low on things to say
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn’t last
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Oh! To the west, you don’t know what it is you’re running from
And everybody’s laughing loud
Your last chance to make your mother and your father proud
(Streetlight Manifesto - Moment of Silence)”
Well, I’ll leave off with one of mine, but tomorrow I’m grabbing the second half of my list of contacts to show them off a little.. Hope you drop by and show them some love.
Spostareduro (me) - I’ve only just begun adding photos to my account, but there’s plenty to come!
“Uh..Trying to Fly” (ok, so I’m a nerd)
