Thing 5: More fun with flickr

Hockneyized Moppet

Here's my cat Moppet using the Hockneyizer at Big Huge Labs. I played around quite a bit with this "thing". It is definitely easy to waste a lot of time playing with flickr. I added a couple of things to my blog earlier. A link to a Splasr presentation on the left sidebar and a "Spell it with flickr" on the bottom. It kind of gets lost there, but I'm not sure how to insert it between posts. I guess we could find lots of ways to use this at the library. I might try using flickr to create signs for book displays. I think photo sharing is a great idea, but I was a bit reluctant to put myself out there. It took me a while to decide to let anyone see the photos in the first place, but I had to make them public if I wanted to blog about them! When I first got my digital camera, about 5 years ago, I signed up with Ofoto (now Kodak Gallery) and I have been using that as backup storage for my pictures. It's mostly a place to share with family and friends, and of course to buy prints and stuff. I haven't used it for anything but storage. I think flickr is more for public sharing and having fun with the pictures. I might consider adding more of my personal pictures here at some point, or just using it exclusively. It's easier to use, too.
