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 Week’s Theme: Rails, Trails, Roads.
Website(s) of the Week: bloom magazine.

AndiF Rails, Trails, and Roads

	Rails (aka the best laid plans. When I came up with this theme I intended to take pictures of a railway bridge that I thought would be interesting with shadows and snow but by the time I got to it, there were neither so …) Click image for larger version
	Four Mile Ridge Road Click image for larger version
	Giddy on the Trail of Jim Click image for larger version

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 Week’s Theme: The return of “What is it?” This is a game invented by NorthDakotaDem. All you do is post a picture and have people guess what it is. It can be a close-up of something that makes it tricky to recognize or something unusual that people might not recognize or a different view of a known scene or place or anything else you can dream up that you think will be fun to guess. Note: for this diary, post a single picture per comment so people can put their guesses as replies to the comment.

Website(s) of the Week: Project 60 by Kevin Gonsalves. One subject, 60 ways.

Next Week’s Theme: Self-portrait. wilderness wench and KNUCKLEHEAD requested this theme idea in last week’s comments. If you don’t feel comfortable posting a self-portrait, pick a photo that represents you in some way.
