This is cool

Just got this message in my Flickr mailbox:

Naturally, I had to grab a screenshot of the site displaying my photo:

You know, it’s strange: the photos I tend to be most proud of tend not to be the photos that elicit this sort of response from people. More often than not, in fact, it’s the photos that I tend to regard as B-grade that people seem to identify with. But then, I suppose that’s a lesson in and of itself: if I have been given any gift for photography, it’s not mine to dictate to others what they see as a beautiful photo. It’s mine only to take what photos I will; people will find meaning in those that they will.

And that’s what’s really cool.

Comments Policy: As is generally the case with the contact form, any submitted comments are fair game for blog post content. So don't say anything you wouldn't want repeated, and try to be nice about it.

Also, I take no responsibility for the contents of comments; they are the responsibility and opinions of the commentator alone.

Finally, beginning November 2009, I will be sending test emails to some of the provided email addresses. I've decided I'm under no obligation to post comments by people too cowardly to submit a legitimate address (my atheist commentators are overwhelmingly guilty of this). That's not to say that I absolutely won't post a comment with a false address...but neither will I feel bad about treating it as spam.
