I have a couple of friends who are doing cool visual blogging. Mike Lee spends most of his time moblogging these days with his Sidekick, but he is an amazingly talented photographer/digital artist. Mark Carpenter is a business guy by day, but Flick addict/moblogger by night. For a guy with an MBA, he seems to have a good eye for composition (when he’s not trying to compose a photo with squirming toddlers :-).

Anyways, I love a good photo. Courtesy of Margott’s recommendation, I’ve recently become a fan of Flickr’s interesting photos in the last 7 days. While poking around there, I found an invitation-only group for quality photos…and yee-hah, it has an RSS feed! Photos in this group have to have had at least 25 views and tagged by someone who has already been invited to the group.

These days, I can use all the inspiration I can get!

Starting July 31st, I’m going to be taking a five-week break from work. It’s part vacation, part sabbatical. One of the things I’m going to do is take a photography class, and spend some time just being creative. I can’t wait!
