Photography, photoblogs, photos….
I cannot complains anymore that flickr is not responding to my mad barkings… as the last attempt got a response in just a few hours. Yay! But the contents or just more of the same… “We think Second Life photos are screen shots, you are still NIPSA”: From: “Flickr Support” <ase103599@support.flickr.com> Date: June 13, 2006 […]
flickr foto Cactifittiavailable on flickr This is a photo from last year’s trip to Hawaii, but someone found another one from this same place and invited me to share it in a flickr pool devoted to grafitti on plants (who woulda thunk?). This is near the top of Makapu’u point on Oahu. I usually wax […]
Gulp. After telling everyone today about the virtues of using flickr creative commons images, I got caught. I my haste last night to find a banner image for our keynote tag cloud page, I located a nice San Francisco Peaks profile via a creative commons search in Flickrlilli. I did not even register that the […]
I have oft professed my deep love for flickr. I have been a user of it since March 2004, when it had that hokey black flash interface. I have uploaded almost 1400 photos, not nearly prolific as some. But recently I was slapped by one of their policies regarding a new way I was using […]
It only took like 2+ years, a big Yahoo buy out, and finally they have gotten enough kinks out of flickr to drop the “beta” form the logo– now they are “gamma”: It caught my eye as soon as I loaded my photos. The changes are subtle (more previews per page, drop down menus to […]

Twice this week I’ve gotten requests to use some of my flickr photos (and ironically both photos were taken in San Diego, but on different trips) for use on other web sites. The first was asking to use my Gaslamp photos (1 and 2) for a San Diego tourist guide site (sorry, I lost track […]
For what its worth, I decided to give the Englaze Flickr Backup to DVD service a try. Ordering was pretty easy- pick one of the last 200 photos to be printed on the label (I chose my hammock perspective), enter a title, etc, and provide a credit card. I had a shade under 1000 photos, […]
Just randomly clicking the new feature links at the bottom of my flickr collection brought me to something I should get around top doing- getting a backup. Hey, what if Yahoo falls into the ocean? Englaze Archive will create a data DVD backup of your original flickr photos, the original uploaded sizes, and preserve titles […]
For some unknown reason, I was cleaning up my browser bookmark tools. I cannot even remember where I found this, but I had forgotten about one that grabs images from any web page in view, and allows you to then upload any of them to your own flickr account. Going beyond the knee jerk fear/reaction […]
