FLICKR POOL SATURDAYS! (Bumper Two Part Edition!)
This week I’ve decided to do a double feature for FPS. Barring any possible queueing issues, this post should go up at 4.35pm GMT and the second part with another three images should be hitting your dashboards a little over two hours later at 7pm.
I was wondering yesterday if I’d be lowering the standard of this post by doubling the amount of images I’d include but when I checked through the pool this morning, any worries I had instantly vanished. Great group of images this week, genuinely. Go check out the group page for even more solid shots if you have a free minute.

Easily my favourite shot of the week. Neither the shadows nor the highlights are exposed properly and it couldn’t be more interesting as a result. The chair texture combined with the muted yet very distinct colour palette holds my attention even longer. Wouldn’t put it past seeing this shot in a portfolio like Noah Kalina’s.LEFT: Jamie Shaw
Great diptych by Jamie. Normally I’m against titling photographs because the mass majority of the time it comes off as too immature but the title for this is “Winter Lows” and it’s perfect. Both shots could easily be, at first glance, mistaken for skyscapes. The dewy water covering reflections and the blues and oranges, they all ring out with night sky connotations.RIGHT: Carlos Garza
Though the yellow front number-plates on the cars suggest this was taken elsewhere, I think half of my love of this shot comes purely from the fact that I spent the past week in the US. This looks like a memory from that trip plucked straight from my head The distilled barrier that photos through windows create, the lack of pedestrians, the idea of quiet shop-corners and the bridge, of course, the bridge, it’s all too uncanny with American imagery.Submit to the DF Flickr Pool to maybe see your shots here next week!
