Flickr CY admin

A secret admin voting session, a secret discussion, and no hint at all. One sweet day, I, wearing a fairly stupid face in front of the screen and drinking fresh milk (see?!), received an invitational mail from Flickr; I said yes. And so, that's how I became a Flickr CY Admin. No salary yet instant glory - that's their motto!

That something you know

-May-

I put my wishes in an envelope
and hide it under my pillow
Wishes are forever wishes
upon the stars above
higher than rooftop snow

I send my hopes to sparrows
On their wings, they will follow
To the north
of moonlit seaports
To the south
where it’s never cold
Along a creek
that shan't sleep
On river banks
where seeds like to grow

I instill my dreams in a nature song
That joyful birds would sing along
That streams would murmur in their flow
And salt breezes would be told
of a rhythm on the leaves
a melody in my soul

Dreams
aren’t only meant to come true
in a sleep, when the day’s through
A secret in golden sands might go
Yet in a day’s picture frame
an aurora ever glows.

Bikes are a great topic for photographers, perhaps because the vehicle is connected to romantic rides along river banks, under the shadow of maple trees, or on old cobbled roads in the drizzle.

I used to scoff at people who pointed their butts at the sky and took shots of bikes from various angles, from tires to derailleur. And yet one day I found myself doing the exact same thing when an old woman walked past me with a big grin on her face. Here is the product (not a good shot with a dreamy background as described, though), with an application of high key exposure. Anyway, this shows a fact that a photographer always adopts a very bad posture, so excuse me... ;-)
