Flickr a Day 314: ‘Balloons’
We wrap up our three days focusing on the Leica X2 (see 312 and 313). Maybe it’s technique of the photographer’s I chose, or the camera. But I don’t find any of their photos shot […]
Flickr a Day 306: ‘I Just Have To Make One More Call, He Said’
Day of the Dead actually is a three-day celebration, ending November 2nd. I can’t resist slipping in another timely portrait, captured by Tom Waterhouse on May 10, 2008. He shot self-titled “I Just Have To Make One More Call, He Said” using Panasonic DMC-FX100. Vitals: f/4.8, ISO 80, 1/100 sec, 16.6mm. I picked the pic for being interesting and for bokeh, composition, perspective, and the photographer recognizing opportunity.
In 2015, Tom takes the Fujifilm X100T to the streets, where his focus is facial character. “I’m currently trying to make a serious attempt at becoming a credible street photographer”, he says. I say: He’s earned his street cred.
Flickr a Day 301: ‘In the Rain’
Do I even need explain why Patrik Nygren takes the Day with this street portrait? Her expression looks permanently fixed, and it might very well be. Is the weather, the photographer, or both what she […]

The “photostream is full of life” a commenter expresses to Matthew G., who doesn’t reveal his last name on Flickr or Facebook. She rightly identifies his street style, which makes picking a single pic misery. […]

After a hiatus, we return to street photography for the next couple of days. “During my walk around Pike Place Market, I encountered a street performer who was playing a violin”, Lan Phan says. Hence […]
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 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 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” […]
Flickr a Day 268: ‘Getting Prepared for the Concert…’
Today’s selection popped up in my social feeds as “Hot on Google+”, and I couldn’t resist. Sergio Miranda shot self-titled “Getting Prepared for the Concert…” on Sept. 5, 2015, using Canon EOS 30D and 70-200mm […]

Flickr a Day 260: ‘Embarcadero’
You don’t pick a Ted Lee pic. It choose you. His photostream is a marvelous mix of street art and studio portraits, and the view counts are unusually high. He shot self-titled “Embarcadero” on April […]
