Weekly Update: Flickr Favorites
Okay, I know, I know. This is supposed to be a Sunday edition post; however, since I was away from my computer most of the day, I am going to claim Juneau, Alaska time as my own and get it in just under the wire (with grammar and style-related edits surely to follow).
Most American (Hey...It's Baseball and Free Speech, after all!)
 "2005/03/05: Politics" by Urban Tiki.

Although, I typically leave the political commentary to my wise and articulate fellow Salon Bloggers, I just couldn't resist picking this photo as a favorite. I think my reason for picking the photo is self-explanatory. Please click on Urban Tiki's link to read some wonderful commentary about Detroit's political climate.
Most Unlikely Spot for a David Sedaris Book-Signing
 "Bus" by Aqui-Ali.

I chose this photo because I have never been able to pass by a bookstore without stopping to browse, and I sure as hell wouldn't pass this one up if I happened across it while driving through Nevada.
Most Introspective
 "Organized Chaos" by Kren
Protected by Creative Commons Agreement
I like this photo because it reminds me of just about every over-worked, over-stressed, artistically-confounded man I've ever dated. I think that there is a real universal quality to the expression in this man's face.
Most Lovely Family Shot
 "Sister & Little Sister" by Flixz
Protected by Creative Commons
I chose this lovely photo because of the richness of its subject-matter, the warmth of its tone, and the "content of its character." I think that it is simply amazing. I just discovered the photographer, Flixz, this week, and he has quickly risen in status to one of my favorite Flickr photographers.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the forethought to email the following photographers to ask them for permission to post their photographs. I wish I hadn't been remiss in doing so because the following photographs are very realized pieces of artistic expression. You can still view the photos by clicking on the following links.
