I like (liked?) farktography because it was fun, and a community of great people, and while each theme is a contest there really isn’t any need for competition.

As I sit out the downpour, I remembered this guy. Would another version of this be in the theme spirit?

Yeah! I remember your story with that guy. That was one of my earliest inspirations for being more outgoing with photography. I think about it every time I’m laying down shooting something.
