Welcome to Friday Foto Flogging, a place to share your photos and photography news.

This Month’s Theme: Go Outside

There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera.  
And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed.  
Don’t be bitter because you can’t record it.  Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!  ~DeGriff

Link of the Month: O.K…so there is no link this month…what gives? It looks like ImageShack is changing. There will no longer be a “free” service as the buisness model is changing to a more professional stlye advertising free subscription based model.
From the ImageShack Blog

ImageShack is moving from an advertising based business model to a subscription based model. This not only means a more beautiful site but one that is more secure, more cutting edge and has more features.
If you decide that you don’t want to pay for a subscription account, after your free thirty day trial, we will still host your images and you will be able to access them at anytime at no charge.
Our goal is to continue to support our loyal and faithful users.

I’ll give it a go for the next year and see how it works out.

Bob’s Go Outside

Next Theme: (Friday, March, 7th): Texture

Give us something we can feel. Is that even possible? We’ll find out…

This Month’s Theme: Pineapple Upside-down Cake

All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”
― Susan Sontag
