Before you get insanely bored of Top in 2011 lists here are my most viewed Flickr photos of 2011. I am getting in ealry before the rot sets in! ;-) These are not necessarily my favorite photos that I have taken this year, in fact some are not even mine, however by views these are the most popular photos on my Flickr photo stream this year. If I find the time I think I shall go through and pick out my favorites from this past year as well.
The first, above, seems appropriate. In the early 1980's Nintendo Game and Watches were really the first introduction I had to any form of mobile technology. These are the collection that I have left. I don't have batteries at the moment but they are still a nice collectible.
Steve Jobs comes in at second. Clearly not my photo but at the time I questioned if he was launching the iPad2, his last product launch, or whether or not he was in fact launching a very old Ericsson mobile. After all this is what he is holding in his right hand! Click through to the flickr photo if you want to see his latest mobile. It's in the comments ;-)
Then it seems as though the English Cricket team managed to break the Ashes urn in their wild celebrations after beating Australia in the last Ashes test match series in Australia. Something to celebrate for sure, but breaking the Ashes urn seems wildly inappropriate!
My next most viewed photo is on corporate message! I posted theis just after T-Mobile in the UK launched their iPhone Customer Care App. Amazing what interest a single person can generate by posting a photo. Imagine what interest you could create if you used Social Media to engage with all of your Customers on all of your products. The options are limitless.
Finally some photos of value! :-) This was the first photo I posted of Peter after his birth. This is probably Peter at 2 hours old. He looks a little tired!
Peter at 1 day old. Pretty gorgeous! Him not me! ;-) Dad looks rather chuffed though! :-)
This is a picture of Martin Cooper, the inventor of the mobile phone, with one of his first creations. As far as I am aware the choice of apps on this phone is limited. Apparently they have been used to build houses though. After all they are the size and weight of bricks!
This is Peter striking his first Blue Steel pose. Quality! ;-)
And the finally, Mon meeting Peter for the first time!
A very momentous year for us really! :-)
Anyway, thats the most viewed. In the next week or so I will try to post my favorites. Some might be on both lists ;-)
Cheers

I have to say I love the ones of Peter the most. I showed my son your game collection. He thought it was interesting those that play a single game are larger than his phone he uses Skype on while playing games like minecraft.
ReplyDeleteYeah the Peter ones are my favourites as well. Those games were from the early 1980s so pretty compact for the time. I seriously loved them!
