Found on Flickr: Visual Diaries

22 October 2010 by sarahatlee

The Visual Diaries are tools I create to capture my aesthetic for a particular moment. They’re collections of my favorite Flickr images each month or so. See all of them here.

This is from my October Visual Diary, The Finding Place. Hemphill County, Texas, is where my mother’s family has lived for the past several generations.

These are my favorite Flickr photos from the last month. Shots from the annual Ghouls Gone Wild Parade make this the semi-Halloween edition. (See plenty more ghouls here.)

Found on Flickr: Visual Diary, September 2009

4 October 2009 by fatladysings

Flickr has a new feature for its users: Galleries. The gallery feature turns any Flickr member into a mini-curator. Give it a whirl! Some of my favorites so far are Minimalism Squared, 2x a Frame, and Kid+Cat Scream.

I’ve been using Found on Flickr as an ongoing visual diary, so I’ll make monthly galleries for awhile and see how it goes.

Here is my Visual Diary for September 2009.

I can’t include the following in my Flickr gallery, but they are also what I’m looking at these days:

Esra Roise, My hands are cold but my heart is on fire. Click image to view source.

Cat Panel Diptych by Dara Engler.

I’m exploring the possibility that a lot of Americans “relax” by entering a zombie-like state of hibernation. We choose diversions that allow us to zone out and ignore things in the world that are difficult. I paint secluded, vacant, zombie-like figures who have relaxed in their habits until they have lost time. … They are sluggish, jaundiced, and so lacking muscle tone that they hang over their chairs and defy anatomy. — Dara Engler, from her Artist Statement

Spa Bento by Flickr user Sakurako Kitsa. Click image to view source.

I’m getting really into food pictures, even making some of my own (to be revealed). The Bento Box group(s) on Flickr are a great place for food inspiration, aesthetically and nutritionally.

The construction of a bento meal ranges from pragmatic to wildly artistic. It works for any kind of food, from anywhere in the world.



Brad’s Lunch and Dinner, by Flickr user flit. Click image to view source.

I’ve been in a bento-mindset since I’ve been spending a lot of time at my new studio at the OKCCoCo. I’m getting a ton of ideas from other bento fans.



Preschooler Bento #227, by Flickr user Wendy Copley. Click image to view source.

What’s this bento thingy? Think of it as the classier predecessor to the tv dinner. Explore more Bento Box Flickr pools here.
