Baby Squid Angel

Ranked #531 in Squidoo Community, #73,784 overall | Donates to BuckHawk Center Animal Rescue

My journey as Baby Squid Angel


Few weeks after I joined Squidoo, I received a notification that my lens got blessed by a Squid Angel. As a Squid newbie, I was blessed and encouraged that an Angel read my lens and sprinkled an angel blessing.

From that day, I promised to myself that I will be a Squid Angel one day to look for well-deserved lenses and leave my angel dust there.

My first Angel stunt was in January 2011 and my priority is to discover lenses that are not in top 100 and give them the boost they truly need. I dig deep searching for worthy lenses which are yet to be discovered and it's sad to see well-written lenses sunk down in ranking above 100,000.

Why a baby Squid Angel?

I still consider myself as a Squidoo newbie, so I also consider myself as a baby Squid Angel. A baby who's on her journey to discover the wonderful Squidoo world & community and spread her angel dust on much deserved lenses.

Here you'll find my journey as a Squid Angel, the criteria I use to bless them and list of lenses which receive my blessing.

Photography Angel

Early February 2011, I'm honored to be chosen as a Photography Neighborhood Angel and I will do my best to reward photography lenses the recognition they truly deserve

What is a Squid Angel?

Gift of Love by Dona Gelsinger

If you are new to Squidoo, you may be wondering, what is a Squid Angel?

Squid Angel is group of lensmasters which are chosen to "bless" Squidoo lenses.

In the past, there were around 50 Squid Angels per month and it is their responsibility to find great lenses and "bless" them. When your lens received an angel blessing, it will boost its lens rank.

Squid Angel can also "ding" lenses which they think violate Squidoo Terms and Conditions, but our main responsibility is to find great lenses.

Since February 2011, there has been changes in the Squid Angel program and now, there is one Squid Angel responsible in one particular sub-topic.

My Criteria of Blessed Lenses for Photography Sub-Topic

These are the criteria which I used to photography lenses:

1. A low lens rank well-informative lens. I've found that many low lens rank (rank <85,000) has great content, but unfortunately low traffic. I aim to bless these lenses and give the boost they deserve.

2. A well-written photography tips & tricks, preferably with their own pictures. Or if you use other people's pictures, I expect an attribution to the owner / artist of the picture.

3. Lens which engages the reader with beautiful pictures and the story behind these pictures.

4. A clear step-by-step photo editing software tutorials

5. A well-structured, comprehensive product review lens which will help the readers to choose the best camera & camera accessories for their photography journey

Blessed Photography Lenses

I have yet to discover all great photography lenses. So the list below will be updated every time I found a lens worthy to receive Angel blessing.

Thank you for visiting Baby Squid Angel

Hope this lens inspires you to grab your camera and apply the tips / tricks from the other lensmasters above. I remember my friend once said that "a photograph captures one second of our lives, but a picture (which speaks a thousand word) will stay on our memory for a lifetime"

So I encourage everyone to take your camera wherever you go, capture the beautiful moment in your life and treasure the memory for the rest of your life.

As for me, I love flowers and here are some of the flowers pictures I took over the past year:

    Thanks for featuring my lens here! Quite a surprise for me, and, of course a blessing. I love your idea.. "give and it will be given to you." I also appreciate your list of resources for free images and graphics. Way too many of us are using others' work without the proper authority or credit. Kudos to you!!!
