Thing #7

I can see the usefulness of using flickr to store and post photos.  Posting class projects and familiar areas of the classroom or school may prove useful.  I will remain open as to, what I am sure is a wide variety of uses.  I would always be cautious on publicly posting personal photos. 

In my first semester here, I took Astronomy and since have liked looking at stars as well as pictures of stars.  Also, growing up as a child, I had a fascination with cameras (no flickr back then, so most of the pictures are gone) I used to try to take pictures like this one posted using different shutter speeds and settings.  I never really got it perfected.
So now that I have this sort of figured out, I decided to add a photo that I have from one of my tours in Afghanistan.  This is a howitzer 155 on a fire mission.  The artillery guys called this "puff the magic dragon" or the "bow tie".  Pretty cool photo, scares the living crap out of you if they fire when you don't expect it.

  1. Daniel, I really liked the pictures that you shared! Not only are they unique, they also tell a story! I especially liked your military picture. Since my husband is in the military, it's interesting to see other military pictures and know that my husband goes through the same thing!
