As the series’ end approaches, picking pics grows ever-more difficult. I would like the last ones to be special, but finding them also takes more time than easily invested—got a new project coming, and there […]

Flickr a Day 347: ‘Choiseul Fisherman, St Lucia’
The worst of the worst of the worst of the best—picking a single pic from the photostream of Heather Buckley is more challenging than all the other tough cases combined. I could choose any and […]
Bob’s Bike
My father-in-law turned 94 this week. He still lives independently, and we help by being close-by (in an apartment on the next block). He doesn’t get around as easily as he used to; cane is […]
Flickr a Day 345: ‘Beautiful Living Doll’
Forget science fiction fantasies about suddenly stopping the present, or traveling back to the past. Some street photographers are masters of time. They capture a moment, preserve it, and expose within magnificent drama. Thus describes […]
Flickr a Day 343: ‘I Bet You Haven’t Heard We’re Winning’
I heard we are losing—every day on news broadcasts. That’s my reaction to the dramatically composed self-titled “I Bet You Haven’t Heard We’re Winning”, which Brandon Doran captured on Jan. 20, 2012, using Nikon D90 […]
Flickr a Day 341: ‘Lost in Thought, Lost in Prayers’
Our selection comes at a time of great turmoil for Muslims and other peoples who interact with them because of terrorist attacks against Western nations and conflict with the Islamic State in Syria. The Day […]
Flickr a Day 340: ‘Romantic Krakow’
Vivid is how I describe the street photography of Matthias Ripp. His art exudes a rich, contrasty quality that is natural; what the eye sees. Today’s selection, as do many others, feels like film. The Regensburg, […]
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 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 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 […]
