Thousands of photos in flickr (and really good ones). Later that summer, I had the honor of being interviewed by Ponzi at BlogHer. I learned a lot, I met fabulous people, and it felt great to be part of an awesome community. They key takeaway for me is that photos without a story in them are less powerful.
