Thing #7

Bryan Wilson Photography

My talented friend, Bryan Wilson, has such a great eye for finding the beauty in everyday objects.  When I had this assignment to explore Flickr, I took the opportunity to check in with Bryan to see what he has been "shooting" lately.  I just love this photo of an old fashioned alarm clock.  Such a simple photo and yet so beautiful and insightful.  I love the sharpness of the clock in contrast to the faded background.  I am glad that Flickr provides a professional looking platform for amateur photographers to showcase their work.

For Fall Break, my family is going on a beach vacation.  This prompted my Flickr search for Florida beaches.  In addition to finding individual photographs like the one above by Photographer: Mona Hura, I found groups like Beach Photography within Flickr.  Searching within Flickr is super easy, and I was able to find and browse through pictures from friends and from key word/tag searches in a matter of minutes.  I like that Flickr provides a sleak platform for users to post pictures.  Even the most casual and informal pictures look great through Flickr.
