Friday Foto Flog

Welcome to Friday Foto Flogging, a place to share your photos and photography news. We were inspired by the folks at European Tribune who post a regular Friday Photoblog series to try the same on this side of the virtual Atlantic. We also thought foto folks would enjoy seeing some other websites so each week we’ll introduce a different photo website.

This Month’s Theme: Summer in the City is the Light in August: photos that suggest song/book/movie/whatever summer titles.

Link of the Month: ‘I was gutted that I’d been such a coward’: photographers who didn’t step in to help. (Note: potentially NSFW images in article.)

olivia’s Summer Title

All summer I made friends
with the creatures nearby–
they flowed through the fields
and under the tent walls,
or padded through the door,
grinning through their many teeth,
looking for seeds,
suet, sugar; muttering and humming. . .

– Excerpt from Mary Oliver’s poem The Chance to Love Everything
