Presidential

The Big Picture has a photo-summary of Obama’s first 167 days. This one, Number 14, is the epitome of “Presidential”.

this one, is not. Heh. (Of course, that’s not to say I don’t like it.)

Photoblogging

It’s been awhile since I’ve picked out a picture I’m particularly impressed by. James Jordan has a great one:

"Canada's top model" by James Jordan

He’s got the two newest entries into my RSS reader: Points of Light is his collection of pictures and thoughts and Ready, Aim, Click is his how-to blog. I look forward to learning from him.

There’ve just been a lot of good ones lately. This one by Paul Souders:

Read the post: it’s great. And in case it took you a minute (like me) to figure this one out: it’s a reflection in a pool of water.

“The 365 Project”

And… I’ve now been sucked into Flickr. There are some pretty cool shots in here. I like “.(40/365)” by burnt out Impurities:

This one is a Creative Commons license… so I know I can use it.

Photos at CERN, continued

Ok… so update: After making my own official Flickr account and fiddling with my profile, it’s possible to mark settings for whether your photos are “bloggable” (if that’s a word). Since it possible to click “blog this” on David’s photo, I’m assuming it’s ok. Of course, all rights are reserved to him.
