What do your favorites say about you?

May 16th, 2010
There was a thread a while back that posed the question "What does your calendar say about you?" I found it interesting, and obviously you can tell something about the artist through their work, if they let you. I also find it very telling to look through someones favorites. Not sure if I'm the only one.

I'm curious, what do you think YOUR favorites say about you?

I've thought that too! Mine say I love bugs and animals :D

Hmmm, just looked through mine and definitely see a theme of washed out colours and desolation! I'm also quite picky it seems as i only have a few.
You are surely a portrait lover Jenn?

Mine say I love incredibly detailed macro shots, as well as shots that are creative, e.g. interesting long-exposures, or shots where it's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into composing and making the shot. And that I like bokeh, and bright/bold colours, and cats. :D

I like color, texture, pattern, details. And my family members :)

I think mine would say I am a detail person. It is always the little things that make me go from really liking to loving a photo.

@ Craigy, I actually looked at yours a day or two ago and I noticed the same theme! hehe.

I didn't notice the portrait theme with mine, but I just looked and I'm like "yeah whoa I do have a bunch of those..." heh. Subconsciously, perhaps?

I can however tell you exactly in detail why I favorited each and every one of the photo's I favorited. I consider myself fairly choosy too....but not a perfectionist. :)

Apparently I have a thing for pets, trees, and booze....not necessarily in that order.

I love flowers and nature. Clouds and the sea. Sweetness and silliness and symmetry. Oh, and PVA!!! http://365project.org/petervanallen/365/

No specific subject. I seem to like photos which are clear, simple, happy and not too much edited.

i love romance and creativity in the photos i pick as favourites
May 16th, 2010
I love photographing history and nature.

I doubt that there's anyone more OCD than I am...I see it...I love it...I nab it! So much of what you all do I don't want to lose, but now my folder's so big, I may never get to the bottom of it again!

ROSS: is it possible to have a page of about 25-30 small thumbnails to go with what we have already? I love to reference the pictures & share with friends, but sometimes I'm scrolling through 20 pages to find one I know is there... Possibly everyone is more judicious than I am...It's just that I love what you all do so very much!

I definitely love cats...vintage items...shabby chic/chippy paint...victorian...flowers...dogs, birds, animals...squirrels, of course...and your selfies, my many friends!

Hi Louise, not sure I'm following, my fav's page http://365project.org/Scrivna/favourites has 24 thumbnails on it, is that the page you mean?
May 16th, 2010
my favs consist of night time urban shots, humour, long exposure, the odd sunset and a great pair of boobs ;-)

What does it say about you if you have never selected any favorites?
May 16th, 2010
I've been forgetting to add favourites so I guess its saying that i'm nothing? :)
May 16th, 2010
Mine say I have a good eye for gorgeous photos -- especially those with a good story attached.
May 17th, 2010
I seem to like details, views, deserted places and food! :D
May 17th, 2010
Hmm,..."Perspective",....I think that is the common thread among my favs. Not sure about anything else!
May 17th, 2010
I like ducks, and sunsets, and mountains...

I don't know what my favorites say about me, because sometimes I fave a picture because of the quality of the shot, and sometimes because of the subject...
May 17th, 2010
this is quite interesting. I never really thought about it. i just "fav" the photos I fell in love with. but now that you mentioned it, I looked at my favs, they are mostly the nature scenery shots and some portraits: things that i know I either don't have the good enough camera to shoot (awesome macro shots)or i don't get to see ( nature shots), or i'm just not good at it (portraits for one thing). they are completely different from the stuff I like to take photos the most. very interesting indeed. does the "opposite attraction" rule applies here too, at least in my case, i guess? :)

Mine say that I like colour, vibrancy, people, children, babies, friends, family, animals, architecture, art, flowers, water, nature, new perspectives and newbies to 365, creativity, anything that I wouldn't have thought of myself, anything that I can't do with my little point and shoot, anything that inspires me and/or strikes my fancy, anything that I can personally relate to, and anything that makes me stop and take a first, second, third look, and more.

Love nature, colourful things, sunsets, old buildings and textural shots!

i'm a sucker for silhouettes & sunsets. particularly fond of those that incorporate tree branches.
