Spring is here! Looking forward to warmer weather, when you could eat ice cream at night without getting a wicked chill afterwards.
Awesome Capture from San Francisco Magazine is an inspiring article on the wonders of Flickr and its impact on several individuals.
I wholeheartedly agree with the article–Flickr has changed my life. It’s an amazing source of inspiration–mainly due to the fact that you become (sometimes instantly) integrated with a global network of creatives. It’s opened my eyes to other styles and artistic techniques. Through Flickr, I’ve gotten the opportunity to publish my photos on other sites through networking and tagging. The stat features and the interaction with other members allow me to get a sense of what people like and which images are more popular. Looking at others’ photos is also an encouragement to take better photos or create more artwork. The constant creative energy, positivity and stickiness of the site are invaluable. Thanks Flickr!!

Love the textures of old, urban structures. This was taken near the San Francisco Presidio.
The gadgets of Steam Alchemy are wonderful pieces of art. They’re part of the Steam Punk movement.

Self-Portrait was part of an experiment with my new remote control (and tripod) for the XTi digital camera. It’s great to see instant results with the playback button, but it took about 40 frames to get something decent–with lots of running back and forth. There was major cropping and a little contrast adjustment.
Petticoat Swirls is a digital art piece by Kate Morse, combining one of my free textures from Flickr with a lovely original photo. Beautiful work!

This sunrise over the bay was easily one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen. . . no photo editing, just simple and natural.
