Thing 4 Flickr



Sometimes learning new technology creates a feeling of "jello brain" but Flickr is just plain fun and so easy to use as a shared resource as this photo by hurleygurley demonstrates. In the past Flickr has been helpful to add pictures to several blogs but I haven't loaded any photos into it yet. In the past we've posted photos to our password protected web page for friends to view and Flickr would be easier. Most friends who share photographs do it within Kodak Photo Sharing or one of the other commercial photo sharing and purchasing sites. I like the noncommercial aspect of Flickr and the ability to organize the photos with tags, create private and public files and to create sharing groups.

Pondering digital text has been a recent focus so I put those words into a tag search and digital produced some fun but copyrighted entries. The logos by Herman Jesus fit the creative concept of digital text with his great graphic of a computer with the screen being flipped like the pages of a book.

This summer I started a photo collection of wildflowers; it's time to put them in Flickr once I get done editing.
