Since downloading the SquarePik app on the first day of its launch, I have been using the app as a way to get more creative with my Foursquare check-ins at various venues. Instead of focusing on the Foursquare points I rack up on a weekly basis, I look for ways to take a creative photo at each venue. Each check-in photo or video is then immediately added to my Pikchur profile.

To keep track of my days at the Comet Branding office, I check-in with a different photo each day and then also add it to the same album within my Flickr account.

Today I decided to mix things up a bit and begin featuring a @SquarePik #FeaturedPhoto of the day. The first #featuredphoto was taken by Valo Photography’s @JakeDavidRohde. Jake Rohde is an amazing photographer who also finds creative ways to capture simple objects around Milwaukee, using various iPhone camera applications, and posts them as Twitpics on a daily basis. I highly recommend you check out the Valo Photography Website to view more of his work.

So starting today, I will be showcasing a favorite blog photo, Twitpic or Flickr photo that I find creative and interesting, and will feature them through one of my daily SquarePik/Foursquare check-ins at various venues.

Do you have a photo you recommend that I use as one of my upcoming @SquarePik #FeaturedPhoto of the day? I would love to see them and get to know more talented professional and creative social media photographers.
