FLICKR

I have a new secret on-line obsession. Some people get hooked on peoples blogs...i am far too lazy to read that shit. breif as blogs may be.
I am hooked on a variety of flickr subscribers with obsessive photo habits.
Currently i check the portfolio of a new york comedian with a sketch show on tv, whom loves to photograph and write brief reviews of meals he has eaten in new york. they are not funny but oddly adorable because of his genuine enthusiasm for tasting new things.
also he is kinda of a little guy so i find his big appetite impressive.
He preformed at ahsow i saw in brroklyn and during it he made this random reference to the change in the size of a particular dish they served at the bar...and i felt i could really appreciate he attention to that detail knowing how much he appreciates food.
then i have a college friend whom takes daily photos of herself and then logs what she is wearing and where all the itesm she wearing are from. which apparently there is a community of this type of blogger.
then i have a flickr contact whom also takes daily photos of herself with a pretty awesome high res camera. she got hundreds of self portraits... mostly cu of her face with various lighting or textures techniques. She is pretty girl and she rarely varies from the CU or medium shot of her face looking perplexed or saucy. i would love to see her experiment with different styles and perhaps not always seeming so pretty and big eyed.
i find that this type of blogging is more honest and revealing then many of the writing bloggers or tumblr using pussies i know. this is not to say a photo cannot lie. it sure can. place the right objects in a scene you convey any number of meanings.
but a with this type of obsessive photographer a greater sensitivity and character is revealed. observed over time, despite what is they have in their pictures you come to understand a certain level of vulnerability.

for my flickr you can go to....
