Six years ago

It has been nearly six years since my buddy Matt badgered me in to getting a Flickr account. I didn't quite understand the impact it might have, but I went with it. He seemed to be smarter on these things than I was. I was interested in photography, and I didn't want to self host images. It was a good solid site, free at first!

Now it is almost six years to the day that I signed up. And I have put up over 7,500 items- 99.999% images. A bucket load of the images are U2, followed by Sierra my dog, then Gamenight. Five years of TurkeyBowl- Thanksgiving day game between Calvert Hall and Loyola. Four years of the Hon Fest.

I could go on and on... and I nearly did... but in most of that time I never really considered myself a professional. Just a guy who like taking photos and sharing them.
Well, recently things have changed a little bit. I am not sure what happened... and without getting myself in to trouble with Flickr, lets just say I have been able to obtain a few things that I wouldn't have otherwise.

So thank you to Matt, and thank you to all those who have taken a look- more than 960,000 times. (seriously, thats a lot)


Just put up my first video from the 7D:
