Thing #6 : More Flickr fun


I looked at the some of the mashups and they were interesting and ok time-killers, but most of them I wouldn't make a point to revisit. I did like http://www.search-cube.com/. I think I first saw this concept used to organize pc desktops. When I searched for "origami" it came up with some interesting hits that I hadn't seen before.

I used a Rinehart photo with Trading Card Maker to make this image. Tobacco companies used to make trading cards, and pictures of Native American was a popular theme.

I learned about Flickr when I set up an account for the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Historical Association (TMEHA). During the Expo Centennial TMEHA took photos of Expo souvenirs from member collections and elsewhere. I thought uploading the images to Flickr would be a good way to have those who know more about souvenir spoons, glassware, etc, to add tags and descriptions. I got as far as moving about 2/3 of the images into collections and sets then let the project slide. I used this geek assignment to finish moving the images into sets, inviting 2 OPL and 2 TMEHA members to visit the site. The site is non-public for now, but I've made one image public to test posting to this blog.
