I love taking photographs and have joined Flickr where photographers (professional to amateur i.e. me) upload their photos and share in techniques on how to take the best photos. I also hold Flickr meet ups where everyone comes to Sweet Mandarin armed with the latest kit and big lenses. Wow there are some powerful beasts roaming the streets of Manchester. The king of the pack is Tootdood. Check out his profile and his pictures – click here . The guy puts so much passion and energy and love into each photo that he inspires me and makes it onto my Sweet Nothing List as #965. Go Toot Go!

Reminder. We are holding the next Flickr Meet Up – keep in touch with us by joining us on Flickr.

Twitterers (T) (photo 1) Meet the Flickrs (F) (photo 2) could be come Jazz Hands Extravaganza (photo 3)

I Tweet (a lot), I Flickr (quite a lot), I Eat (all the time). I host Tweet Up meetings for Twitterers and Flickr Up meetings for Flickr, so I’ve decide to link up these two groups. It could be a smash hit with splattering of photographic evidence (check out the third photo with the aptly named Jazz hands effect lol). Or it could be a bit like the first school disco where each group cliches to their own – the Ts verses the Fs. Its worth the experiment. So here is its my friends, I’m hosting the first ever Twitter Meets the Flickr Tweet Up @sweetmandarin.
