Top Ten Tuesday: Flickr Edition, Part 2

Another busy week and I needed a quick topic--so I'm resorting to my other favorite pastime, Flickr. I was introduced to Flickr by Julie of Fricknits and it was my "gateway drug" which led me deep into the depths of blogging and the Internet knitting world. Although I have new loves now (reading and writing blogs), I still love my first. So here it is, this week's Top Ten Tuesday Topic:

My Top Ten Favorite Flickr Contacts

For those of you who are not yet Flickr members, you can choose to make other Flickr members your "contacts." Which I like because then their photos appear on a page of your Flickr homepage and it's a fun, easy way to keep up with people and see their great photos.

Sorry for the lack of photos, but I didn't want to steal anyoneelse's intellectual property. Please follow some links and check out these great people and their amazing photos.

10. lillybeth05 (A knitter and a mom, I actually met her through Flickr and now read her blog as well. She made the top ten for being totally fearless about modeling her knits for the world.)

9. knitkid (A male knitter of mostly hats. The pose is the same each time, but the stream of different hats is endless and very entertaining. He's making a book. Very interesting.)

8. nikki nimble needles (A knitter, lover of the Wonderful Wallaby, and maker of gorgeous yarns. I love her for sharing her "yarn porn" on a regular basis--and it's for sale.)

7. soto softies (I read Maritza's blog first, but then discovered her on Flickr. On Flickr, you can see even more great photos of her phenomenal softies. Love them!)

6. doggedknits (Another one who's blog I read first, but have since found on Flickr. Ashley takes gorgeous photos--knitting, crafts, nature, her dog--and I've really enjoyed seeing more of her work on Flickr.)

5. mintyfresh flavor (I discovered Erin first through her blog, but am highly entertained by her Flickr photos. Erin is famous for her daily self-portraits. She has something called a gorillapod which allows her to set up her camera pretty much anywhere. She's fearless and the results are amazing.)

4. Alex Guerra (I don't know anything about this guy, but he invited me to put a photo in a group called the Anti Penguin Domination League so I decided to check out his photos. They are amazing. Love all the black and white! By the way, if you like humor, go check out the APDL group. The rules alone are worth a trip to read them.)

3. ~~Walter~~ (A friend from college who also does a great photoblog called Wayne's New York. Walter has an amazing way with capturing beauty in everyday objects. He's in NYC and takes a lot of graffiti pics. My two favorites.)

2. JulieFrick (My first Flickr contact--and my first blog--and still one of my favorites. I love her knitting photos, her fiberlicious yarn photos and the great photos of her family. )

1. fragglejill and mobstaj (Two more complete strangers with gorgeous photos. Lots of macro nature shots and adorable animal shots. Gorgeous! I can always count on a lovely photo from these two.)
