reminds me of the phenomonon of flickr tag poetry, in which photos uploaded to Flickr get tagged purposefully (and often playfully) in such a way to aesthetically compliment the imagery with text. sometimes it's the poetry that gets foregrounded
Thx for asking for specifics, I started to comb through my own comments and images in Flickr, having had a lot of fun commenting on and writing tag poetry. Fun to look through my Flickr history, but difficult to find good examples of what I called a "phenomenon."

re: flickr tag poetry
Love this concept, too, John. We should talk - perhaps you could work up a Digital Is resource on the phenomenon.

"phenomenon"
Howdy Paul Oh,
Would love to talk more, and dig further on flickr taggery, but as you can see from the above I might have "overphenomed" personal experience.
