Sifting through the Flickr Commons



Any serious junk hound or antiques collector
will tell you there is no greater pleasure than sifting.
A box of old photos, 4 for $1, or a a big rack of good stuff at a thrift store - it's all about the hunt, the thrill of discovery or the satisfaction of knowing you looked through everything, even if you didn't find anything spectacular.
The Flickr Commons is the same to me when I'm looking for images for the blog. You have free range to use the images there for blogs......I'm pretty sure. I have found so many great photos that I have no reason to share other than they are neat. I think I'll do more of that.
I found this picture and used a "Hockneyizer" (in the style of the artist David Hockney) on it using this free image generating site:
I love how the little boy ended up framed in the middle - randomness is often so perfect.
