I am very upset today. I don't feel like it should bother me, because when you sign up for Flickr and post photos online for all the world to see, I realize that not everyone is going to like what you post. Okay, that's fine. If I happened to go to someones photostream and see something I didn't like I just wouldn't say anything. I'd move on to the next photo or person or whatever. I am not here to get in online battles with anyone.
So, if anyone wonders why I always say stuff in comments like "very nice", "good work", etc... etc... it is exactly because of this reason. If I have commented, it means I like your photo. I am not commenting only to get views, comments, or win a popularity contest on here.
But I just viewed someone's picture of an orange sky and clouds and blue foreground and I almost, almost, put down "here in Denver there is a bumper sticker that says 'if God is not a Broncos fan, then why are sunsets orange and blue?'" Well, I chose not to because as innocent, or creative or funny or whatever I think it is, someone will surely make a comment in response to mine to make it controversial.
I know I am overly sensitive. I know I should ignore it. I know it isn't a big deal. I know that I shouldn't have written any of this. But I had to. Because it is important for people to know that I am a sensitive person. And the pictures I have recently put up of the circus I know will make people think otherwise of me.
I have lots I want to say about going to the circus. My reasons for going. My feelings about being there. My feelings about spending money on it. But I shouldn't have to go into all of that. And just a warning, I am going to put more pictures up of it. Elephants, zebras, horses. Does not mean I am condoning it. I went to the circus, I take pictures everywhere I go, I am documenting my life and Flickr is a place for me to put it.
I could go on and on. If I say this scarecrow decoration is from Walmart and I was in a Walmart and took a picture inside a Walmart, someone will probably condemn me for that too.
