What was your First Flickr Photo?

April 24th, 2008



whirly feet

Originally uploaded by lyzadanger

Mine was, inexplicably, or ironically, one of my feet. I took it in San Diego where I was attending O’Reilly’s ETech conference in 2005. Flickr was quite the topic of conversation.

This was back in the era where your account/profile had to be approved before you could actually post visible photos. Fortunately one of the Flickr dudes was a few rows back from me in the main hall and was on the IRC backchannel and sorted it out for me right quick.

In the vein of the recent meme of “what was your first Twitter tweet?”–what was your first Flickr post?

    Nothing terribly interesting. Just a nighttime shot of the Willamette from the Hawthorne Bridge.

    I personally prefer my second Flickr post, a photo of downtown Stumptown’s window.

    My first flickr photo was a shot of our front yard during the storm in 2005 that knocked out our electricity for a few hours.

My Library in the 4th Dimension

My Library in the 4th Dimension

My library unfurled in a way that is technically impossible. But I wanted an image that suggested what it was like to be in the room, which this does fairly well.

You can see “notes” at the Flickr version linked above. This shot isn’t what I want. I want to show my books. This fails at this because all of my bookcases are cut off. But anyway. It gives me ideas.

Om nom nom nom

This is why I was quiet all weekend. Baked like a fiend because I was the host of Aileen’s baby shower. Brett, Wes, Chris Higgins and Mr. Pencil also strongly involved. Go see the photo at Flickr to see what some of the treats were.

    Hell, you did the entire thing. All I did was bake some scones and drink a bottle of bubbly.

    Wow… that’s mighty impressive. Last time I tried to bake, people were lucky to get out of there alive.

Crop and unsharp mask only. O’Keefe tribute?
