our flickr similarities & differences

Clearly all of our lives are dominated by technology, books, and the places we work at work and home, and while I pretty much expected the consistencies, I think there are far fewer of the ones like those that seem to dominate flickr more generally - the friends, the meals, birthdays and travels....the images of the minutiae and monumental of our selves and days that are added naturally as those events occur, unrestricted by the confines of a semester and with a luxury of time few of us have. Whether it's due to the newness of the concept and habit of photo sharing, or overwhelming schedules and demands, I think the predefined theme sets suggest more in common than actually exists in our multi-faceted and busy lives.
