It’s odd. I don’t remember this as being shot in March (three years ago). The memory felt more like fall (and older).

I remember it being cool. I remember there being a fire nearby and the scent of smoke in the air. I remember coyotes howling and dogs barking at them. I remember the calmness of the lake.

I shot this my old little Olypmus point and shoot and a tripod. It seems that little camera… Continued

This is one of my most popular pictures on Flickr. I think the Goth kids like to download it as a wallpaper.

I was young and impressed by selective color then.

When to Post Photos on Flickr for Most Views?

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:23:09 +0000

I’ve often wondered when was the best time to post photos to Flickr to get the most views, so I decided to look at ranking data from the site tracker site Alexa to get an idea of traffic trends for Flickr.

I don’t know how many times I’ve jumped from Blogger to WordPress, but this is another foray into WordPress publishing.

The thing which drew me to WordPress this time was the simplicity in the mnmlist theme I found at Leo Baubata’s Website of the same name. It’s clean and simple. I like that. It’s what I have wanted in my Web publishing.

I adapted the theme for a black background and added links in the sidebar so that I could separate my writing from my photography. I don’t mind this site being about… Continued

The office was empty. No one should have been on Extension 3154, and yet there its light was lit on my switchboard. Who in the hell was back there?

I wasn’t sure what woke me before the scream. Maybe a mom just knows.
