one seventy two: booyah! - a photo on Flickriver

            It's a 365/SP right of passage...the shot that says "Explore This!" in order to convey how over the magic donkey we really are. This is a copycat of a copycat of a copycat. It's like lipstick on a mirror, getting naked on day two-hundred-something while saying "I'm exposing my soul to YOU!" or doing the oh-so-loved hair flip shot. 

I can tell you now, I will never get naked on here...so fuhget it. 

Seriously, I like it when my shots are in Explore. I love it, actually, because I know people are seeing my work. But, I'm confused by the Explore algorithm, and how so many FANTASTIC shots are excluded every day, and so much crap is seen as "interestingness." I know a lot of it's random, but still - it doesn't seem entirely fair. 

"Well, Anna, life just isn't fair..." 

I will never take that as an answer. 

Happy Thursday, Flickr. Booyah!
