About half the month’s selections are black and white, and we end with another: “Drunken Cowboys“, which Theodor Hensolt captured on Nov. 26, 2011, using Canon EOS 7D and EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens. […]

Flickr a Week 35: ‘A Yukon Quest Team’
The dog days of August demand something cooler, and we’ve got the thing with the first of two consecutive snow scenes: self-titled “A Yukon Quest Team” by Arthur T. LaBar. The 1,000-mile (1,600 km) sled […]
Flickr a Day 304: ‘Never did the Pumpkin Thing since Childhood!’
I debated long-time about what pic to pick for Halloween. Jack o’ lanterns are cliché, but Cristian Iohan Ştefănescu does them well—and I want to draw attention to his photostream, which is a real treat (no trick, promise). 🙂
One word describes Cristian’s style, whether expressed from the lens or in post-processing: Interesting. He has a terrific eye for composition and perspective. Some of his more recent art I could have featured if not for the holiday: “Study: Cats Understand Humans but don’t Really Care“; “Try walking in My Eyes!“; “Bring the Art Down on the Street and They will Come!“; “Life is a Foreign Country“; or “Hable Con Ella“.
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 216: Ghoulish
I look at the photostream of Matthias Lueger and think “horror movie stills”. The pics are so damn evocative, and they capture a mood don’t they? Hehe. Our selection purposely contrasts yesterday’s pretty portrait. There’s […]
Flickr a Day 205: ‘Planking on the Metro’
What better way to have fun underground in Washington, D.C. than, as the self-title describes, “Planking on the Metro”. Today’s selection is the second of three (see Day 204 for the first) of photos recalling […]
Flickr a Day 203: ‘Smartphone Teen’
The best portrait photography is candid. Better still: Something so natural it looks like a still for advertising. Pabak Sarkar evokes both qualities with self-titled “Smartphone Teen”, which takes the Day for clarity, color, contrast, and […]
Flickr a Day 187: ‘New York City Street Performers’
San Diego-based Nathan Rupert should be among the photographers featured, starting Day 189, for Comic-Con 2015. But his body of work is too grand to be so narrowly defined. That said, choosing one from among […]
Flickr a Day 181: ‘Inner Ring Drop’
We end the first half of the year with something not seen in this series until today. Joe Dyer is a high-speed photographer—taking “natural, mostly birds, and studio shots of liquids glass and other props”, […]
Flickr a Day 132: ‘Grandchildren’
Truck driver Richard Clark surely gets around. I don’t know how much drama he encounters on the road, but there is plenty in his photography. He is from the Adobe Photoshop school of imagery. Some […]
Flickr a Day 51: ‘Happy Fence Friday’
If you like cat photos—really like them—spend some quality meow time with Kerri Lee Smith. She will satisfy your Internet hunger for fearless felines. Somewhere here there is the makings of a movie script, with […]
