The Colts have won the Super Bowl. Sports Illustrated has published there best photos from the bowl. These are spectacular.
On the other hand, have you ever wondered where all the Bears “Super Bowl Champs” apparel goes?

As you probably know I post a lot of my pictures on flickr. Today I saw this link which is a slide show of the best of flickr. I highly recommend flickr and would tell everyone to check it out. Buy the flickr pro, it’s worth it.

Flickr.com released a new functionality this week for there users, GeoTagging. This is a very cool function. It allows you to place your images on a map so that you can virtually see where the picture was taken from. As of now Flickr is the only company out there using this functionality, and it has been a success so far. TechCrunch is reporting that with in the first 24 hours of allowing users to geotag, they have had 1.2 million images placed on a map. However, Fickr will not be the only company getting into this arena. Google’s Picasa is in the works of adding geotagging and will be available to place images on Google earth application. This is still in the beta stages so Flickr will have a pretty good gathering of users before Google can get there application released.
I like the idea of geotagging because it allows a person to search for pictures based on a particular location. Though, I thought it was very time consuming to add images to the map. Flickr allows you to drag and drop an image or a set of images that you want to be geotagged. Hopefully in the future camera makers will add a small GPS chip to the camera which will add metadata to the photo with the latitude and longitude of the picture when it was shot. This would then allow you to easily be able to geotag your photos.
Many people are talking about Flickr’s Geotagging and I would call this a success for yahoo in the web2.0 (if that’s what you want to call it) war. Yahoo has beaten Google in picture geotagging.

I have decided that I am going to start to share some of my favorite photos that I have taken. All of my pictures are available on my flicker site so feel free to look around. I have just started to get into taking lots of pictures. I enjoy trying to capture that best moments, but most of the time I will take 300 photos with only 3 good ones. However, my photo eyes are getting better! All my photos are taken with a Canon Digital Rebel on a 1 gig memory card.
Here is one of my favorites. Davis Anthony Farrell enjoying his pacifier after his baptism.
Chief flower man in the District of Colombia has set the day and now thousands of visitors are trying to reserve rooms to visit. The cherry blossoms will be best seen on March 30 at 10:46 a.m.! And that’s no joke. Based on this horticultural equation “If Y is the actual bloom date,” he said, then “Y = .37X + 34.11″ this will be the best time to see the blossoms.
I used to live in DC for just under a year and never got to see the blossoms. I saw about everything else but these the city has to offer but the blossoms in bloom. I hear they are great and really changes the way that city looks. I might try to see if I can venture down and take some pictures, but ill have to decide soon if I want a room. Some of the pictures on flickr look awesome. I guess it’s not only about the flowers but there is a whole Japanese (since they gave us the trees) culture fest with food and parades. It might be a good mini vacation.
Additional Information: I found a great site about the cherry blossoms and the events that go on at the washington post
