my year as a whore
one year ago today, i uploaded my first picture onto flickr. little did i know then, as i clicked that upload button for the first time, how much that single act would affect my life. and here i am, more than a thousand pictures and 94,000 views later, and i am speechless. because none of this would have happened, and i wouldn't be sitting here typing this, if not for you.
fuck, i'm getting all teary as i write this, but that makes sense, cos i really can't convey how deeply i feel this -- this gratitude, this humility, this profound sense of joy at being a member of this amazing community. it's familial, it's tribal, it's REAL, ya know? you guys out there -- not screen names but real, living, breathing people -- have supported me, challenged me, taught me, lifted me, encouraged me, molded me, inspired me, pimped me out to within an inch of my whorish life.
yep, a year ago i had no idea what a whore i'd turn out to be. but it's true. over the last year i've fallen hopelessly in love with rich warm colors, crispy crusty texture, useless tags that tell the real story. i look at my original posts and realize i had no idea what lay in store for me. heh.
there's no way in hell i can say thank you in a way that conveys to my satisfaction the sentiment behind it. so instead, i'll put my whore hat on and tell you to get back out on your corners, and continue being your extraordinarily fabulous selves.
*smooch*
