My Flickr photo project has ended. I guess the time has come to let this dedication to a recovering city go. It isn’t easy, like sending the children I never had out into the world but perhaps it will improve your last weekend of phone banking and campaigning.
Of course this should be twenty-five pictures, chapter four of a five diary series that began with Want to see 25 of my favorite 125 photos? It was ready to go last week but I decided to wait for after the election. This week I had some time on my hands and thought I found a narrative flow, a seasonal chronology with new photos inspired by a hurricane recovery theme. Pictures like the Casino Pier at Seaside Heights and the Greenwich Village Billboard that proclaims “If there really were an Atlantis, AT&T would have you covered.”
I made it to the maximum allowed photos at Flickr, alternating between horizontal and vertical compositions with no sunsets. This whole project began on first day of this year. After years of posting daily photos at Daily Kos it was an exploration to find decent photos I’ve taken that were not current. Just like in the last three diaries there are actually three copies of each photo. The one you see is a bandwidth lean view at Photobucket. Clicking on the photo will show you what I would like for you to see on a black background. If you click on the title text above the photo, it is a Flickr link that offers location, time and the camera used to the right of the picture and perhaps a comment or two to explain the shot.
Cheers to my recovering neighbors and cheers to four more years of progress. Please enjoy these photos, a few might even put a smile on your face.
