My previous uploads seem to have lost their vibrance. Anyone notice the same? *Edit* Turns out that the Google Chrome browser is the culprit. All's good in Firefox.
This shot is telling of Saigon... motorbikes everywhere!

Stevie Ray Vaughan statue watching over Auditorium Shores in Austin. The Doors might have wrote the album Waiting for the Sun, but Stevie does it every morning in Austin.

I was interested in the mechanics of Flickr's Interestingness and Explore and how photographers can leverage these tools for growth, so I decided to do some research. I spoke with Flickr Product Manager
Cynthia Johanson, I scoured the interwebs for information and found Kevin Dooley's insightful set of essays, and I interviewed one of the best wildlife photographers in the world, Hennie van Heerdan. The result is an article that I compiled for MIT Entrepreneurship Review; follow the link to check it out: Sparking a Photography Career. I would be thrilled to know your feedback!

Shooting the Vendome firefighters' memorial in Boston gave me even more respect for firemen. Several of the men that died in this fire were off-duty and came in early after hearing about the blaze on the Red Sox broadcast.
I believe the 33 represents Engine 33, which was the first truck to arrive at the burning hotel.
From Wikipedia:
The Hotel Vendome fire was the worst firefighting tragedy in Boston history. 9 firefighters were killed when part of the building collapsed, June 17, 1972.

Explored :)
This is the fountain at the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. It was very windy and the stray water made a cool bokeh effect in this shot. The red and blue was created by using two flashes, one with a red filter and one with a blue filter. They were fired at different times so the water would be in different places when each flash fired.
Press L key to see on black.
