Who’s afraid of photographs?

Dotriderblog posts a link to the dotbike flickr site here and on several bicycle sites. Some were unsolicited, but others were in response to questions from the site for photos of a certain installation. The photos are plain representations of what is there. There is no artistic merit or attempt to be more than just a visual reporting service. Of course our editorial comments and questions might put a little ‘edge’ to the photos, especially when it is obvious what’s wrong. Well pardon dotriderblog’s enthusiasm but someone on facebook has marked the flickr site as abusive! At first I was a little angry, but as I’m writing that I’m beginning to be increasingly amused. Did we hit a nerve somewhere? Why are we afraid of a few photographs of the painted streets of Dorchester? Good luck stopping me! Moves like that serve as INSPIRATION to dotriderblog…. Ask Bernie Lynch of the Boston Parks Department what happened to his vow to never plow the Glen Road section of Franklin Park. Thank you fb flagger! I was riding to the edge of the fading away alternative until now. Thanks for the inspiration! Your move will ilicit exactly the opposite reaction you had intended. Next I’ll learn how to get photos up on this site…
