Only Flickr addicts will understand the excitement.

Little Hands, Little Feet

This photo made the front page of explore and also #1 for 4-13-06 for interestingness.

Not many of my photos get recognized in Flickr, because there are so many incredibily talented photographers out there, and, well, you know, I'm not one of them. So, to say I was happy about the reaction to this picture is an understatement.

This is ALMOST as great as getting recognition from my Aerobic Dance Instructor.

But not quite. Because, like Sara said, THAT is the ULTIMATE.

You go momma! You should be very proud. It is a great photo. If I could get in the top ten for one of my photos I'd be happy! By the way, I've been reading for awhile. Great blog!

Congrats! I have yet to have any of my pictures make it on the interesting page, much less make it in the top 10. I think it's time for you to accept the fact that you are a good photographer. :)

I love that time right before the little dimples on baby hands turn into kiddie knuckles. What a lovely picture :)

I love your pictures! They are always great! You do have the nak of making photos ART, not just pictures. You put jelly on my face on how great you are! I love how crystal clear your water pics are. It's refreshing feeling. My fav of yours is your daughters little hands with the droplets of water. BEAUTIFUL!

Girl, I don't know what you are talking about! I was looking through the Theme Competition, Kids and Babies group that I just joined, and I was TOTALLY impressed with your entries. I think your pics are fantastic!

Your pictures are fantastic! Way more interesting than my standard poses of dogs...wooooo how interesting. :P

Get out! That is so freakin' awesome, Y! The Flickr holy grail in Y's hands! Wheeeee! :P You totally deserve it since that picture is the greatest. I'd like to think that I had a little something to do with it by favin' it immediately. I kid. It's all about your mAd sKiLLz, yO! LOL.

For real, you rock. Congrats!

Aside from hitting the Explore page, how do you find these things out? You mentioned in the comments to the pic that Robyn told you before. No one seemed to have responded.

Not like it matters for me since there's no way in hell I'd ever make the Explore page. YO!!! I just went to the Explore page one more time and you are on the front page again! The randomizer knows when to put out! Schwing!

I'm so jealous! Er... envious? Well, whichever it is, I am! Congrats, you deserve it, you have the greatest pictures!

Yay! i'm a flickr addict too, so yes I get it.

I had one of my stupid pictures...and I mean...stupid....showcased. I wish it were one of my better shots, but it's not. it's a stoooopid one.

Posted by: kristine at April 14, 2006 12:25 PM

Sweet! That so rocks. Precious baby bits.

Posted by: Aj at April 14, 2006 01:36 PM

i loooove Flickr, mostly because of Heather Champ, but that's really awesome and a fabulous shot.

Posted by: Heather B. at April 14, 2006 01:46 PM

It's a truly gorgeous photo... congratulations & happy Easter!

Posted by: Kristin at April 14, 2006 03:15 PM

I LOVE THIS PICTURE. And although I do not own a digital camera and haven't discovered the addiction of flickr YET, I can imagine how exciting this kind of WIN would be. I mean, the ULTIMATE Club is pretty exclusive, but once I understand Flickr Addiction, this type of recognition may have to be added (if all members of the committee are in agreeance. I might be drinking right now.).

Posted by: Sara at April 14, 2006 03:43 PM

That is an awesome pic! Congrats! Yes I got your note on the Flickr crack, I am officially addicted! ;)

Posted by: Kay at April 14, 2006 08:25 PM

Way to go, girlfriend!

*Snaps fingers and rocks head cuz I'm so very ghetto, yo*

I think I could go through your pictures and find, oh I don't know, maybe a THOUSAND that should have the same honor. You've got some seriously mad photo skillz. (Damn, I really AM all ghetto. Heh.)

Posted by: buzz at April 15, 2006 04:20 AM

the composition & content of that photo is *incredible*. it deserves to be recognized! =)

Posted by: Dawn at April 15, 2006 08:11 AM

Congrats! I'm a self-confessed Flickr whore, and I noticed your #1 position.

Posted by: marie b. at April 15, 2006 12:52 PM

You totally need to do something with that talent, Y. Not sure what, but even if it's just more posting on Flickr or whatever, but this stuff's too good to hide.

Posted by: Broad at April 15, 2006 01:47 PM

see? see? i told you that you had an eye for photography and you don't need some fancy shmancy camera! :) i'm so happy and excited for you. congrats on making it to flickr!

Posted by: girlplease at April 15, 2006 03:00 PM

YEAH! I'm so jealous. And you know what? That's awesome, because you aren't like all the other thousand people with the fancy ass cameras and all the bells and whistles to make things work.

You just have you and some talent.

Posted by: Sarcastic Journalist at April 15, 2006 10:32 PM

I am so doing the Monkey over here for you.

(and, sadly, there are no pictures of that)

Posted by: ben at April 17, 2006 06:15 AM

seriously, that's an achievement. rock on, lady!

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 16 year old son, a 12 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
