How to be a Flickr Rockstar:

You want to be a rockstar, but your friend know you aren't?
The people on flickr do not know you..so here is a quick guide on how to be a flickr rockstar!

Step #1 Lock the doors...last thing you want is for moms to walk in.
Step #2 Position the camera down low so it is not so obvious that you took the photo.
Step #3 Grab an instrument. Obviously you do not have an electric guitar (since you are not really a rockstar). In my case I used a hardcore mandoline.
Step #4 Make sure you have some visable tattoos. As you can see I have my kids names...I hear that is really "Gansta". No tattoos....that's what photoshop is for!
Step #5 Hold your instrument really low. Fact: The lower the more rock you look. Too high and it screams high school jazz band.
Step #6 Use a high ISO when taking the photo. ISO has a direct relation to what type of rocker you are. ISO 100 = Jonas Brothers, ISO 1600 = Radiohead, ISO3200+ = Some death metal band
Step #7 Last and probably the most important step, in being a flickr rockstar, is make sure you have lights behind you to get that really nice bokeh effect flickr loves!

There you have it..before you know it you will be fighting off the groupies!

and last....YOOOOUURRR WEEELLCOOOMMMME
