I became a member of Flickr nineteen years ago, in 2006. Since then, I have uploaded a total of 25,810 photographs and images.
In 2009, I began to curate a selection of those photos, choosing one per week as something that, in my mind, evinced special merit. I called it the Pic(k) of the Week, totaling fifty-two images, of course, for the year. Since 2023, I have also paired each selected photo with a musical selection, typically jazz.
Here's a recapitulation of the fifty-two I selected for 2025. Clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the original blog post.

DATA
When I began to use Flickr, I employed the platform as a photo-journal of family, friends, and 'good fermentables.' Beginnning in about 2000, it transmogrifed into a photography portfolio and a cloud backup.
Here is a category breakdown of the fifty-two selections in 2025:
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landscapes | 24 (46%) | 18 (35%) | 21 (40%) |
| Flora | 9 (17%) | 16 (31%) | 15 (28%) |
| Fauna | 6 (11.5%) | 4 (7%) | 9 (17%) |
| Street photography / Portraiture | 12 (23%) | 15 (28%) | 14 (26%) |
| Sky / Astronomy | 2 (4%) | 4 (7%) | 5 (9%) |
| Food/Drink | 1 (2%) | 3 (6%) | 6 (11%) |
| Culture | 7 (13%) | 4 (7%) | 2 (3%) |
| Black & white | 1 (2%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) |
In an upcoming post, I will detail the camera and lenses I used in 2025. (Spoiler alert: 99% of the time I shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 II.)
