I am a superhero!!

I have ALWAYS wanted my own trading card! How cool! Like a business card, but with more personality and sass. (Two things I am in short supply of...)

This trading card was also very easy to make. I also really like the Colr Pickr. I enjoyed seeing how quickly the program worked at retrieving photographs that matched the colors I was looking for! How does that work! It also was a great chance to explore Flickr photographs... there are SO many out there, and so many bad ones. These photographs were outside the mainstay of family portraits and macro flower shots. I particularly like this one and this one.

I am a little disappointed that the Montagr is being so temperamental, and I hope some of my colleagues have had better luck. I liked Flickeur, which takes photographs and combines them with some cool effects to look like a movie.

oh my love affair with flickr.

oh flickr.
let me count the ways i love you.

you have clean minimal design.
your uploading tools are easy and fast.
for $24.95 a year, i get unlimited storage and sets.
your partners are wonderful, and it is easy to buy prints of my photographs.

oh flickr. we are going to have such a happy life together.

so this photograph, i just love. this sign is by an entrance ramp to 91South in springfield, mass. so this is part of my history, always seeing this sign soaring high above the one story buildings at her feet.
however, while driving that way a few weeks ago, i couldn't find the sign. and i questioned whether it was even there! i was driving with my mom and she couldn't recall a sign even being there.
so... i hope this sign is in a good place. it is just so fantastic and wonderful, a guidepost in the constant movement of my life.
