If you didn’t already, I recommend you check out the Your Best Shot 2007 thread on the Flickr Central group message board.

There are some really amazing photos – all taken by Flickr members in the last 12 months.

My entry, called ‘Primal Scream’ (below), was included in today’s Flickr blog selections, which is pretty cool. :-)

Choosing my best shot of the year was easy. This photo was taken just a few seconds after the arrival of #2 in April, so I was lucky that the best photo I happened to snap coincided with the best thing to happen during the year.

I originally called the photo ‘Feet Still In’ but decided that was in bad taste. :-(

I’ve added some others that I like to my favourites on Flickr, including these:

It was a few years ago now, but I remember it really vividly. We were at a mall and a mum (I assume) was laying into a small kid, who was crying hard. Loudly she said, one word per smack, “how … many … times … have … I … told … you … not … to … hit … your … brother”.

The irony!

Along the same lines, Lance has a Christmas Day post about the lies we tell little kids around this time of year.

Finding out the truth about Santa was a pretty painful experience for me, not helped by the fact that my parents knew the old guy who played the role at James Smith (a big department store in Wellington when I was growing up). So, each year I would go and tell him what I wanted and be completely blown away by how he seemed to know all about me, and even remembered what I asked for last year. He must be real.

All my friends at school thought it was hilarious, but I would meticulously lay out the evidence in favour.

As we all know, only the kids who have been good all year get presents.

Santa knows if you tell lies!

Do as I say not as I do, I suppose.
