Thomas Hawk, a pseudonym, writes a really interesting blog about technology and photography, but mostly photography. I’ve stumbled on his blog a while back and have enjoyed his writing immensely, linking to his posts on occasion. I was surprised to read that he is joining Zooomr, the digital photo site created by Kris Tate. Actually, given his interest in digital photography I wasn’t that surprised to see that he was joining one of the more interesting digital image sharing sites but I would encourage you to read about it in his own words because his passion for it is contagious and gives one reason to believe that all this web 2.0 hoo-hah is a trend with legs, that these services have substance and a capacity to actually impact peoples lives in a positive way.

Thomas Hawk’s Digital Connection: Going to Work for Zooomr This decision to join Zooomr, by the way, is in no way meant to imply that Flickr is not great. On the contrary. I spent a bit of time last night talking on the phone with Stewart Butterfield from Flickr about my decision to join Zooomr. How it represents for me personally a unique opportunity to jump into the tech startup world hands on. How working with Kris will give me an opportunity to influence many more of the great features that I feel ought to be developed from a photogeek perspective. Why I felt it an exciting opportunity and one I ought to pursue.
