We welcome Wednesday with an artist featured in my 2015 series with street shot “I’m Board“. Nicolas Alejandro, who joined Flickr in June 2012, disappointingly, is no longer active. But he leaves behind a delightful […]

Flickr a Day 355: I’m Board
As the series’ end approaches, picking pics grows ever-more difficult. I would like the last ones to be special, but finding them also takes more time than easily invested—got a new project coming, and there […]
Flickr a Day 328: ‘Big Blue saw It, Too’
Our selection comes from Henk Sijgers, and the first post-production photo of its kind to appear in the series so far—a composite, shot in Times Square and Columbus Circle, New York City. He says: “Both […]

Flickr a Day 157: ‘Lost’
Three words describe the photography of Roland C. Vogt. Stark. Somber. Sad. Colors and hue evoke how I often imagined Eastern Europe looked like before the Wall fell in Germany, where he is from (Freiburg […]
Flickr a Day 137: ‘Monks on Smartphones’
Some selections are instant decisions. “Monks on Smartphones” makes the Day as much for the self-title as the excellent, suggestive composition. We don’t see the devices but know they are there. The choice of focal […]
