About HelloBo

Unlike many other members with German Yahoo!-ID,
Bo is neither a Flickr refugee nor is he truly unhappy
with Flickr. Actually Flickr is still his favourite photo community, but he sees a lot potential in Ipernity if they manage to find their own way (instead of mainly stealing, err, "lending" codes and looks & feels from Flickr). ;-)

[July '07]

What is it all about on Bo's Flickr pages?
It's about playing with ideas!

It's definitely "not" about technical perfection. But technical perfection can be easily achieved by putting more time and money into photography.

Most photos were made with a cheap digital snapshot camera. For processing the pictures Bo uses either GIMP (Linux) or Photoshop (Mac).

PS:
Okay, the square thing... Bo grew up (photographically) with a 6 x 6 TLR camera and used to see the world in square format. Old habits die hard.

And it is because Bo loves LP covers!
