Well, I finally did it! Finally joined the masses and created a flickr account. Sheesh, it's about time!
I was hesitant for a long long time, for a number of reasons. But I've been thinking... many times I take pictures that I want to share, but no words come to me. Sometimes I just want to put my images out there and let others come up with their own stories.
Besides, I feel as though I am getting a wee bit lazy with my picture taking. I want to push myself a little and start taking more pictures. I want to carry my camera everywhere and post new pictures almost daily. I can't imagine writing a blog post daily, but I can see myself creating and sharing more images, and I am excited about that. So many of my photos get lost somewhere on my computer because I can't find the right words to supplement them, and then they are forgotten before I ever post them!
Over the last several days, I have become a bit of a flickr junkie. I am addicted to looking at other people's images (I'm sure I'm not alone here ;) and nothing is more inspiring. Nothing makes me want to pick up my camera more than when I see a gallery of incredible images. There are so many creative people out there!
I feel the need to take a great variety of different images. I tend to stick to nature photos on my blog, but there are so many incredible things to photograph in the world. I want to document the world as I see it.... little snippets of my personal daily life.
So I hope you will occasionally pop in and say hi. It feels a little lonely over there right now. I feel like a new kid in class. A stranger in a new world.
Which leads me to a few questions. Can someone tell me how to link to my flickr account from here? Does anyone know how I can make one of those nifty little moving mosaics that I can put along the side of my blog..they are so pretty. :)
And how do I find YOU on flickr? Can I add you as a contact? Is that how it works?
So many questions. But so many new things are free to manifest out of me now!
So excited!
(update...I now have a mosaic!)
congrats on moving ahead. i am of no help to you as i do not belong to flicker and sadly, i don't even know what you mean by a "mosaic". sad but true.
ReplyDeleteyour photography is gorgeous! i adore your blog header.
Good for you on creating a flicker account! I haven't really spent enough time over there but now I shall pop over and look at your lovely photo creations Jaime!!
ReplyDeleteHope your weather is being agreeable! :)

ReplyDeletexo Catherine
LOVE this photo Jaime!! You definitely have the eye! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeletei have been on flickr forever and i rarely "go there" as it ends up being one more thing that takes up my time. but for the reasons you explained, you might love it.
ReplyDeletei'm no help with your questions....but i know somebody will read your post and be brilliant with their answers.
big hugs to you !
fyi....your mosaic is a direct link :)

Visiting from iPad and the flickr mosaic isn't loading, but I definitely want to make you a contact on flickr, so pls tell me your flickr name!
ReplyDeleteI'm on flickr, but I don't use it as much as I blog. I just can't keep up with both. For a while I was on flickr nearly every day, but it began to take up too much time, and I couldn't keep up with everyone who commented on my photos anymore. Now I just pop in once in a while and check out other folk's stuff, posting a thing or two of my own from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about how much fun it is to look at other people's photos!!!! I'll be excited to follow your flickr stream, my friend. xoxo Gigi
I haven't tried flickr...but I think I'm going to have to do something if I want to create a button for my blog. I'm sure you will be inspired to take beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to Flickr (and your blog which I love!) so I kind of feel the same way. But Shutter Sisters used my picture yesterday for "Express"...so I am so happy that I decided to set up that account! Such an honor! I will add you over there as I love your pictures, they inspire me to be a better photographer!
ReplyDeletei love that you are on flickr!! hooray! more of the world to see your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteand yes pls add me as a contact. : )
xoxo
YAY!! I'm excited that you are on Flickr. I'm off to find you.

ReplyDeleteJaime, I had to come and tell you this: I nearly DIED laughing when you asked about voedoedeeohdoe and if I had my class yodeling. Did you ever watch Laverne and Shirley? Dumb show, but anyway... Laverne always said she didn't want to die without ever having voedoedeeohdoe. I thought that was much more appropriate than saying morning --- on my blog.
ReplyDeleteWait! I just said it on your blog. Better back it up and delete.
So? Are you laughing now? Who knows? Jeffrey and I may end up calling it yodeling from here on out.
Well - I confess. I've had a flickr account for awhile..but am totally and completely inactive. Perhaps if we become 'friends'..it'll inspire me to spend more time there. Here I am.

Where are you???
I've got a flickr account, but like so many others I seldom use it. If you search for dailyvignette you should find me. =)
ReplyDeleteUm... daily vignette with a space. See? I told you I hardly ever use it!

ReplyDeleteI've been blog hopping and came across your blog. Lovely apple shot!
ReplyDeleteFlickr is definitely addicting!
Hey, you. I have two new posts I want to read before my plan time is over. But, I also wanted to invite you personally to join in a blog swap I am hosting. I think you would really enjoy it. Of course, I totally understand if that's not something you're interested in doing. Just wanted to let you know that I'd be thrilled if you would consider joining us. Sign up ends tomorrow. I hope the end of your week is marvelous.
ReplyDeletei'm in love with this image and can't wait to see more of you photography. your are one of the best in my opinion.
