Sometimes plans change. I originally meant this selection for May Day, continuing the portrait-behind-water-and-glass theme started with April 30th’s “Peace“. But as the hours closed on the old month, I decided instead to begin three days (121, […]

Flickr a Day 123: Rescue Dog
John Bell and his dog Darcy search for survivors in Chautara, which is northeast of Kathmandu, Nepal, following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck on April 25, 2015. The UK Department for International Development uploaded the […]
Flickr a Day 122: Baby is Born
Once again, our attention turns to Nepal and the relief effort following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that devastated parts of the country on April 25, 2015. Here, a baby is born at the Israel Defense Services […]
Flickr a Day 121: Teen Rescue
We commemorate rather than celebrate May Day with the first of three photos documenting the aftermath of the devastating magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015. Yesterday, rescuers pulled 15 year-old Pemba […]
Flickr a Day 120: ‘Peace’
Our series’ fourth month ends with, like Day 87, the Leica Camera AG M Monochrom. Ross Pollack captured the photo in Hong Kong, when he lived there. He is now stateside after residing a decade […]
Flickr a Day 119: ‘Staring Out Into The World’
The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens is fabulous for portraits, too, as today’s selection shows. Daniel Lee shot self-titled “Staring Out Into The World” on Jan. 18, 2014, using the Canon EOS 6D. Vitals: […]
Flickr a Day 118: ‘Partly Cloudy’
The Skagit Tulip Festival ends in two days. If you live in Washington State, there is still time—and perhaps today’s selection will move you along. Howard Ignatius shot self-titled “Partly Cloudy” on April 4, 2015, using Nikon D800 […]
Flickr a Day 116: ‘Give Me a Ring’
Street photography this difficult looks too easy. Toronto, Canada-based Kat N.L.M. is the roving eye whose lens captures contrasting subjects—things that go oddly, yet somehow appropriately, together. Today’s selection is typical of his setup. You […]
Flickr a Day 115: ‘Princess and the Riot Cops’
Some photos demand attention for the perplexity they present. “What the frak?” is my question looking at pose and police. I want to know the context, the backstory, and there may be none other than […]
Flickr a Day 114: ‘Anonymous #2’
I had to abandon my original pick from the photostream of Mattia Notari. The pic is interesting and the composition is superb. But after discovering self-titled “Anonymous #2″—and, yes, there is another and another—I could choose no […]
Flickr a Day 113: ‘Barber Shop’
Documentary photographer Akshay Mahajan shot today’s selection on Aug. 24, 2007, using Nikon D200. With nearly 48,000 views, the image certainly is popular. Vitals: f/4.5, ISO 100, 1/50 sec, 18mm. He is from Bombay, India, but lives in New Delhi.
Akshay joined Flickr in November 2004. While active on the service, you will find more photos on Instagram.
Flickr a Day 112: ‘Eiffel Tower’
A magazine advertisement inspired today’s selection. My wife marveled over the Eiffel Tower, snapped using iPhone 6, on the back of a magazine cover. Hours later, on Flickr, I spotted this stronger shot that Jeroen Bennink […]
