I'd just like to use this space to say how I thoroughly dislike the new profile page foisted on us by the Flickrbook® from Yahoo!® designers.

The inclusion of My Favorites in the profile is another ridiculous idea. Surely it makes more sense that a profile should refer principally to that person's photos, and not photos scattered around Flickrbook® from Yahoo!®?

Just a dog on the InterWebNets.. yep, that's me

with toy cams, that is.

We all need to use more FILM, Eh?

Quote of the Day: Hey, hey, hey — don't be mean. No need to be mean. 'Cause, remember: no matter where you go... [pause] there you are.

    ""She has that eye for the great shot, her photos show just how much she enjoys her friends..
    Jakes is a one of a kind person filled with humor and passion and she is easy on the eyes as well. Put a check mark in the awesome column next to the young ladies name!"

    Mars Observer (back and catching up) says:

    "'Jakes World' For anyone who knows Jakes, these two words are synonymous with the words 'What If'

    What if... you were to take elements of the 2001 cult classic movie 'Donnie Darko' and combine them with 'Elmo's Word', with Elmo being played by Donnie Darko actor Jake Gyllenhaal?

    This is the no-less-than-ambitious, thought provoking, moral and philosophical question raised by Jakes, through her compelling and sometimes controversial photostream 'Jakes World'. Unquestionably the most important work of this era!"

    ""Better late, than a dead rabbit." That was the instruction manual for Carla's first camera/lunchbox. Jakey has shown me that it's harder than it looks when it comes to the world of LoMo photography. Any buffoon can snap a 100 shots with a P+S and get lucky, and maybe even end up with a decent image, but it takes someone like my pal here, to reverse the process. Please do yourself a favor and visit the land of this lovely lady and friend. One of these days, my dog is gonna sniff your dog's, butt."

    "Jakes may not know this. But (s)he's one of my main reasons for logging on to this place every day.
    Jakes is a funny soul and very few people notice this while looking at her photos. I bet she doesn't even notice herself.
    Actually I think that I might be the only one who noticest this.
    Jakes' photos are stuffed with little details that make me laugh inside. When there's very little sunshine in my life, I only have to sift through Jakes' photostream. Then I'm as good as new.
    But does that make her a good photographer? (Which apparently is a very important thing to be)
    Some might say no and some might say yes.
    Since I've allready forgotten what the question was, I join the "yes-side"."

Holga? Check. Dogs? Double check. Mr. Jakes World? I'm pretty sure that dude's a troll, but triple check.

    "Jakes is the sister my mother forgot to tell me about. Obviously the product of love, hidden away until I found her on flickr... She makes me laugh, she makes me scream, she makes me wish I lived much further West - no, I mean East. She has an amazing sense of humour, puts the big F in fun and just when you think you have her figured out she rips off her blond wig and body slams you into next week. Oh and fo-toes are her passion especially the ultra expensive Shark Cam and cam phone ones. She has raised fuzzy to an art form and years from now folk will be speaking of this era as the time of Jake's Blur. I will be able to brag that I knew her when... :-)) Always the peace maker and the lover she can be found putting men in their places all across the flickr universe. I would like to write more but there is a man with nutella in his pants who I have to find."

    Jakes_World is one of few proponants of LoRez i have had the good fortune to have met (well not IRL), and she quotes Confucious / Buckaroo Banzai / Thomas a Kempis and Pigkiller from Beyond Thunderdome all at once.

    Whether its her wit or wonderful camera shots Jakes does it all with a lady's touch. She has a firm foundation of connections on flickr and rightfully so. She has a friendly demeanor and is one of the most welcoming people I have ever met on flickr, unless you get on her bad side ;)

    In all seriousness though, she is a great photographer who isn't afraid to take chances especially on film *gasp* . I hope that mah cameraphone skillz can improve and catch up to hers one day.
