being an interesting person.

Next month, i'm excited to being going to Interesting 2007, a little conference that Russell Davies (kind of a big deal in adland) has organised. There are loads of speakers, whose only premise is that they will talk about "interesting things". I really like the fact that being interesting and interested is held in such high regard here and that a whole day's worth of gabbing on will revolve around it! Fantastic! There's more info here, here and here.

This post, actually, wasn't meant to be a straight up boast "I'm going and you're not, nah, nah, n-nah, nah!", but more of a link to a baby project that i've started, a long with my 'a gallery per day' thing.

Months ago, Russell (yes, that same Russell) posted a list about how to be interesting (and consequently, interested) and a lot of it centred around sharing. One of the ideas was to take a photo per day and upload it to flickr. I quite liked this idea, as the random images I capture can say something about what I'm looking at in the world and encourage others to the same. So, on my flickr account, i set up a monthly set called 'happysnaps'. April was a bit haphazard. May has been a little more frequent and I'm hoping that i finally get into the groove of it by June :) I haven't quite worked out how to organise them well on a free account, so at the moment they're all in one. Once I figure that out, I'll post another one of these lame posts! Yay!

So, basically, this was a very long-winded post to say - hey, check out what i'm looking at. Sorry about that.

UPDATE: My gorgeous friend, super-talented artist and fellow flickr fiend, jade pegler felt sorry for me and bought me a flickr pro account. so, now my happysnaps (and other art pics) are organised and pretty easy to navigate. everyone say thank you to jade. thanks jade!!
