Film shooter Julien Chambon starts the first day of the last month in this series. Thirty more to go, and it’s a wrap. Maintaining the schedule is more challenging than expected, and I can’t always […]

Flickr a Day 334: ‘L’homme aux Pigeons’
Poignant best describes the street photography of Vincent Anderlucci, and today’s selection is typical. The Parisian shot self-titled “L’homme aux Pigeons” (“The Man with Pigeons”) one year ago today, using Canon EOS 70D and EF 70-200mm f/4L […]
Flickr a Day 333: ‘Emma — Hands’
Street portraiture can be among the most challenging photographic styles. It often means approaching random folks for permission to take close-in and personal shots. The process can intimidate those behind and in front of the camera. Days 95, 96, and 97 feature three stranger shoots. On our last triple-digit day in the series, we present another.
Peter Grifoni shot self-titled “Emma—Hands” one year ago today, using Olympus E-M1 and M. Zuiko 45mm F1.8 lens. Vitals: f/2, ISO 200, 1/640 sec, 45mm. I picked the pic for the woman’s body art contrast against the plaid skit. There are several others of the same subject: full body, torso, and torso alternate.
Flickr a Day 332: ‘Observing the Darkness’
What a find is “Observing the Darkness”, which takes the Day for fantastic color, composition, and clarity; perfect self-title, too. Corey Templeton captured the Portland Observatory (in Maine, not Washington State) on Oct. 12, 2015, […]
Android Army
Cali was in the cutest pose, so I grabbed the camera but she did her cat thing—turning away to sleep. Is it so much to ask that she curb obstinate independence for 30 seconds? That’s […]
Flickr a Day 331: ‘Selfie’
This series features plenty of selfies: Days 15, 142, 160, 201, 261, 275, 310, 316. Today’s selection differs by making the selfie-taker subject of the photo, which wins for clarity, color, contrast, and composition. The clutter behind adds character to […]
Flickr a Day 329: ‘Streets of Italy’
Sometimes simple is best: Black and white, single subject, and unambiguous setting. Self-titled “Streets of Italy” takes the Day for what isn’t making what it is. Thomas Renken used Nikon D7000 and 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens […]
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 327: ‘Thieving Monkey’
My heart stopped thinking that bottlers are shameless in the quest to expand their market reach”. 😉 “Just outside the gates of Ubud Monkey Forest“, which is in Indoensia, “this monkey stole a water bottle […]
Flickr a Day 326: ‘City of Love’
Paris is known by many names, and surely “City of Love” is one of them—hence, today’s self-title. Reiner Girsch captured the sweet moment around April 9, 2015, when the photo uploaded to Flickr (he joined […]
Flickr a Day 325: ‘Photoception’
Last month, Alex Holyoake crossed the English Channel to explore Paris. “The sights and views the city has to offer are fantastic”, he says. “I don’t think I’ve ever been to a city that can offer such breathtaking views and shots. Unfortunately the constant travelling that we did and the infernal stairs we had to climb took our breath away too”.
During the exploration, Alex shot self-titled “Photoception” on Oct. 12, 2015, using Canon EOS 600D and EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. Vitals: f/1.8, ISO 640, 1/50 sec, 50mm. The photo takes the Day for clever composition and beautiful bokeh.
Flickr a Day 324: ‘The Day After’
The world feels different today, which is November 17th when I prepare this post for you. Russia confirms that a terrorist bomb felled Flight 9268, while Western forces increase air strikes against the Islamic State […]
