Sauerkraut. Just that one word sends noses wrinkling and the strongest iron guts wrenching in pure agony. Of course, some choose to celebrate it and fortunately for us, the city of Henderson, Minnesota celebrates the vile cabbage product each year over the last weekend of June. I make it a point to witness the hilarious and disgusting sauerkraut eating contest each year and remembered my camera this time.
As of late, we have had a number of loved ones leave this planet.
When these unexpected things happen we may not be prepared for what we must achieve to celebrate their lives.
Organizing our memories from boxes of photographs can be very healing and stressful at the same time. Often we may know the people and locations in the photographs and what they were doing at the time. From experience I can tell you that it sure helps if the names, dates and locations are noted on the back of the photos.
Do you flickr?
I do. Well I recently began to anyways.
Flickr is a photo sharing Web site for amateurs and professionals alike.
Check it out at www.flickr.com/.
It’s a lot of fun.
It’s good place to share photos.
It allows for some good feedback from flickr viewers.
And it’s easy… to post photos anyways. Taking a quality picture is a whole other story.
I must warn you the photos on this site may cause a humbling affect on your artistic endeavor, but a little humility never hurt anyone, right?
Here’s my point.
