    Best of Flickr (So Far)

    by
    So I made a best of flickr set on flickr as assigned.  I chose these photos off of the basis of thinking they’re the best. The lighter photo with the color splash was really cool.  There’s a lot you could say about the lighter.  And then with the porches blocked off over and over going  [ Read More ]

    Listening to Stories
