I joined the photo-sharing site at the end of June in 2005. I was trying to find a way to share digital photos of a trip with friends. A year and a half later, Flickr plays a much larger role in my daily affairs for, as well as trips, I upload something each day to my Daily Picture Parade.
This helps lead to the concept of my documented life. As well as the daily addition of photos, I have scanned some old personal photos too. This blog benefits from access to my Flickr collection. I can pull up an image from nearly any year in my life to embellish a blog entry. Many Flickr participants provide only their best or most artistic shots whereas I just want to have access to any aspect of my existence.
Here's an example photo taken in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was the
featured daily photo from September 11, 2006. The photo is ranked as my
sixth most popular having been viewed 266 times by other Flickr visitors.
