THING #11 Flickring Sailboats

Well I am Flickred out! I have been working on this Thing for 3 nights now..and I still am a little confused. Ok..more than a little confused. I see that you can upload your own photos. I understand that you can use other peoples photos with creative commons. I guess what is overwhelming is what do you do with all these photos. More importantly how do you do it. So I still need to research that end of it.

I chose sailboats as my subject because I am in the mood to just sail away. These photos were just so very peaceful and calming. I just imagine myself on each and everyone of them just floating away..ahhhh! Especially after this assignment haha! One of my favorite photographers is Wisdoc. His stuff is beautiful!

The only way I could think to download each photo was to save them into "my pictures". Then I cut and pasted them into my sandbox...but I could only paste 2 for some reason. No matter how many times I tried, the third one would replace the second and the second would disappear into cyberspace somewhere???

I really want to try some flickr toys. In my travels I have seen links to websites such as bighugelabs.com, and and krazydad.com for picking photos all in the same color story..oh yeah and deviousgelatin.com for creating a montage of mini flickr images. I'll just have to save these projects for all my spare time...

So on that note..I am off to investigate krazydad's website. He is a pretty cool guy. He not only is a great photographer, he is very tech savvy and he creates puzzles like Sudoku..my absolute favorite!!
I'm out.
