Have you seen this one?

How many digital pictures do you have stored on your hard drive? I have over 25,000! And those are just in the directory that they're supposed to be in --not the ones that have managed to stay hidden elsewhere on the drive. They're not all award winners, but there are some really good shots in there.

No multiply that 25,000 by the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Flickr users and there's no way you can catch all the good ones. Even if you tried... Flickr helps a little by indicating a number of images are "interesting" each day. Their algorithm is their own secret sauce, but sometimes the secret recipes are the best ones...

A Daily Dose of Interesting Photographic Inspiration from Flickr provides an entire, artistically delivered screen of these "interesting" Flickr images. It's interesting [pun intended] to just site back and watch as the images flicker before your eyes. Like other photo gallery sites, a simple click on the image will enlarge to show more detail and citations. The images change daily (or by a randomize button) so enjoy a changing glimpse into the world through other's lenses.
