When I was a kid, having and/or being a pen pal was all the rage. Well, Flickr not only furthers the concept, it completely redefines it, as well. Jessica is one of my “Flickr pals.” In fact, she’s one of my favorites, which is why I’m proud to be the first to add a testimonial in her honor. I believe our mutual love of Golden Retrievers is how we first connected. Jessica commented on a photo I posted and we’ve enjoyed one another’s photostreams ever since. Although she refers to herself as Asian, and appropriately so, I’ve come to realize Jessica is every bit the modern, young American woman, also. She’s funny, articulate, intelligent and cute as a button. Take a look at her sets and you’ll instantly get a hint at her sense of humor (“humans I like” and “humans I have to like,” for example, as well as the antics she and her friends perform when viewing Harry Potter and/or Pirates of the Caribbean movies). While Jessica tends to down play her photographic capabilities, I’ve noticed she seems to have a great eye for capturing day to day life in its purest form. Isn’t that what photography should be all about? Take a gander through Jessica’s various sets and you’ll discover she loves life, loves her friends and especially her family (which includes Goldens, kittens and possibly one Gecko). I feel good knowing there are young people like Jessica following my generation. She’ll do very well in life and will no doubt be an outstanding doctor of veterinary medicine.
