a tall tale

so it recently occured to me to ask what is flickr really good for/at? showcasing new and amazing photographic talent? an arena where amateurs and pros alike can group, organise and display their memories and images? or a cheap and easy way to view lame, semi porn?!

i found this story incredibly funny: one of the photos i posted was a rather cheesy self portrait of me, looking incredibly sad and woeful just after i had undergone a hair cutting session. i found it funny, hence why i put it in my collection, becuase of my pathetically hang dog look, despite not feeling like that at all at the time. maybe i was trying to look regal again, or slightly more mature than i ever feel; im not sure but the expression was there and i laughed. i hoped it would bring others amusement, those who know me, as i really look silly and felt it. last night i was organising my pictures on flickr, going through the tags to ensure that they made some sense (much of what i do, never does) and so on, and saw, to my absolute delight and serious amusement, that that hang-dog-hair-cut picture had the most views out of any of my photos in the gallery. not the ones i thought were cool, or had some good effects, that i had worked on etc. no, no, rather the one i look naked in. awesome.

so moral of the story| who fucking cares how good your pics are on flickr|| if you want hits||| get naked.
