My most popular image on Flickr is a scan of a photograph taken back in the mid-90s. It features my cat Jack sitting rather casually in the bathroom sink.

Flickr has a love/hate relationship with cat pictures. So much so that they’ve had to factor in special calculations of the ‘Interestingness’ algorhythm to downplay the interestingness of cat pictures. So I removed all the cat-related tags and removed the photo from cat-related pools, then overnight it rose from #295 to #2. A few comments later, it rose to #1.

The date of the #1 spot is the date the photo was originally uploaded: 15 May, 2005.

I am heading home after a fantastic week in Paris. A variety of activities was planned by a committee of members from the Flickr@Paris group - but it should be noted the main mastermind behind the event was the charming Philippe LeRoyer.

It will take me a while to sift through all the photos and post them online. Watch this space…

NB: if you see any typos, it’s because I’m on a French azerty keyboard. If I didn’t know the ASCII code for the apostrophe, I’d have been stuffed!

I’m quite chuffed that this photo was chosen as the primary image for the Lift Festival site who helped organise ‘The Sultan’s Elephant’ spectacle.
