Flickr a Day 281: Biker Dad
Investigative journalist and pictorial storyteller Peter Haden demonstrates bokeh and composition together at their best. He used Canon EOS 7D to capture our Day taker on Aug. 6, 2014. Vitals: f/2.8, ISO 200, 1/640 sec, […]
Flickr a Day 280: ‘Street Musician’
If not for graffiti on the wall, self-titled “Street Musician” could be from the 1950s rather than the 2010s. The bouzouki, hat, mustache, and narrow tie together give that by-gone days aura. Ilias Theodoropoulos captured the […]
Flickr a Day 279: ‘Lama. 2 am.’
Punctuation punctuates self-titled “Lama. 2 am”. Identification and time with two periods makes a statement that causes reaction yeah, and then of course when reading accompanying description: “Paris, FR”. Somehow, the beast in the window makes sense. What […]
Flickr a Day 278: ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’
I dismissed today’s selection as being a Photoshop fake, before on second peruse looking more closely and then reading the shooter’s explanation: “Beachgoers at St. Maarten’s Maho Beach get a rush as Air France flight […]
Flickr a Day 277: ‘Obi’
Smartphones can produce surprisingly good photos in competent hands. Physical contrast caught my attention in our Day taker—the small dog set against the big cars. But after seeing that Ryan Hyde used iPhone 5, I […]

Flickr a Day 275: ‘Spacesuit Selfie’
You can believe Christopher Michel‘s claim that his photos come from “extreme locations like the South Pole, Everest, The Korean DMZ, Papua New Guinea, and at the edge of space”. Eh, yeah. He shot self-titled […]
Flickr a Day 274: ‘Flying Puffin’
The photostream of Sergii Gulenok is best described as a series of outdoor adventures; this guy really gets around. I spent sometime picking a pic, because my favorite isn’t really representative of his style. But […]
Flickr a Day 273: ‘Anne, Eralda, en Bart’
I have never seen so many pretty people in one photostream. Is everyone in Amsterdam so handsome or just the friends of Merlijn Hoek? I could look through every page just to delight in their […]
Flickr a Day 272: ‘Android Going Travel Vintage’
Google inspires today’s selection. The Alphabet subsidiary is holding a media event presumably to launch the new version of its mobile platform and new Nexus devices. Russian photographer Oleg—his importance implied by no given last […]
Flickr Day 271: ‘Thelma and Louise’
Professed car and technology enthusiast Kārlis Dambrāns is a photo editor by trade, and it shows in the images he captures or post-processes. He shot self-titled “Thelma and Louise” on Aug. 29, 2015, during the “Retro auto” […]
