I thought these flowers by Mikaku are a bit like my learning experience so far...prickly and uncomfortable at the beginning but as soon as the information is embedded they start to head upwards towards the sky, blooming into beautiful colours as they go.
It surprised me to realise that I actually had heard of 'Flickr' prior to undertaking this new experience. (Not that I knew what it could do exactly). I am still coming to terms with the whole concept of wanting to share all your photos to the whole world - are people really that interested? Do they really have enough time to be interested? (I know for sure that I don't!) I am obviously not much of a photographer to start with.
