The front moved slowly west. The surfers sat very still in the water. It must have been very cold out there but they just sat and watched for a while.
This is Carmen, he is 23 yr old wild caught Blue Front Amazon that has been rescued from a bad situation. He has been with us for 15 years now and is much happier and healthier.
The cool side of me (in as much as one exists, you understand) wants to down play the whole Flickr Explore thing. That top secret algorithm that supposedly selects the most 'interesting' photos that have been uploaded to Flickr on any given day seems some what arbitrary, ignoring many great shots from many great photographers for yet another photo of a police car (what is the deal with the Explore police car fascination?). We upload our photos, the cool side of me says, for the sheer joy of sharing with like minded photographers, not to seek the acclaim of some lines of computing code, mindlessly sifting out what is considered to be 'the best'.
But then, there's the wee boy in me too. And he's very different from my cool side. Like any wee boy, he tends to get all over excited by recognition, from any source.
And so, when I recently discovered that one of my shots had made Front Page of Explore for all of two hours a couple of months back, the cool side of me said, 'Okay, so that's an achievement of sorts, but let's just leave it there, shall we? No need to bother anyone else with this silly business.' The wee boy in me had other ideas.
You can see which part of me won that argument...!! ;-)
