    Flickr Treats

    November 12, 2008

    There’s a bad Halloween-related pun in that headline. But since this latest roundup of Flickr photo finds is almost all Halloween-related, who could resist turning “trick or treat” into “Flickr Treats”? Not me.

    Anyhoo … looks like several blogs found and liked my Halloween candy photo from two years ago. Here it is on Slashfood, an AOL blog:

    That same photo (a personal fave of mine) was used in two other Halloween-related blog posts:

    And the last photo find is from an article called Save $1000 in 30 days, on YBP Guide, which used my semi-recent photo of the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace Jr. set we’re using to teach the kids about money management.

    Another Round of Flickr Photos Found

    October 18, 2008

    Plenty of my Flickr photos have been used on blogs and web sites, but I can say with certainty that this is the first time my son has appeared in one of those photos:

    That photo appeared a few days ago on the HTNet blog. I’m guessing Sean will be happy to see himself on the web like this. 🙂

    Here are some other places I’ve recently found my photos in use:

    Another Set of Flickr Photos Found

    September 16, 2008

    Some photos you remember exactly when and where and what it was like when you pushed the button on your camera. A blog called Wide Open Wallet recently found and used one of those photos:

    That was taken on a flight from home to Atlanta, and it was snowing in Denver and the fact that there were three inches of snow on the ground didn’t slow anyone down. I remember looking out the airplane window as we landed and taxied and I’m sure I was shaking my head that we’d just landed on a snowy runway.

    Here are three other places my photos have been used lately:

    • My rural mailbox photo is on the Simple Makes contact page.
    • My baseball-in-the-grass photo remains a popular choice — it was used on the Deuce of Davenport blog. That’s three months in a row that someone found and used that one.
    • And finally, a new one — first time I know of this Snow Patrol CD photo being used, as it was recently on Create Digital Music.

    Four Flickr Photos Found in the Wild

    August 12, 2008

    Wired screenshotIs this the first time one of my U2 pictures has been picked up somewhere? I think so. I have “U2” as a Google (and Yahoo) news alert, and it was very strange to click through to this Wired story and see my own flippin’ photo used as the illustration!

    Meanwhile, Wired has so much real estate from its header down to the actual content, that I have to shrink the whole image down to this mini version. It looks much better in actual size. 🙂

    And here are some other folks happily using my Flickr pix:

    Latest Flickr Photos Found in the Wild

    July 26, 2008

    I usually don’t think of London and baseball going together, so this seems a bit out of the ordinary: The Popular blog Londonist used a baseball photo of mine on a recent post about “International Baseball”:

    Looks nice, doesn’t it? I think so. And here are a couple other places people have been using my photos:

    Flickr Pix in the Wild

    July 10, 2008

    Been a while, but recently found a few of my Flickr pix in use on the Internetz. One of my best night shots is on a blog called the Silicon Florist:

    And then a couple others:

    • My totally awesome vanilla-ice-cream-with-caramel-and-pink-and-purple-sprinkles photo was used on a Consumerist.com “Top Posts” post. So there. Take that all you who didn’t think that bowl of ice cream looked amazing. TouchĂ©! Matt FTW!
    • And lastly, one of my many American flag photos found a nice home on The Reasons I Think America Is A Great Country, a post from a blog called My Super-Charged Life.

    All very cool, n’est-ce pas?
