Urban Grind
Once upon a time there was a girl from Tennessee who took a picture of paint cans in La Paz, Costa Rica, which made it to the website of a coffee shop called “Urban Grind” in Brisbane, Australia. It’s amazing how Flickr can bring people and photos together from around the world. I’m glad I could contribute to Morgs Daly’s Urban Grind!

Flickr Friday: Video! Video! Video!
Wow! Flickr now shares videos! What a week. On April 9, Flickr announced and started its video sharing program. Video on Flickr! Video! Video! Video! The rumours are true and “soon” is now. We’re thrilled to introduce video on Flickr. If you’re a pro member, you can now share videos up to 90 glorious seconds in your photostream. 90 seconds? While this might seem like an arbitrary limit, we thought long and hard about how video would complement... Read More
Flickr Friday: MOO-liciousness on Flickr
I’ve been on a Moo kick all week. So I’ll just continue it through Flickr Friday. Like I’ve said before, I give full credit to Flickr for introducing me to Moo. (I also send Flickr my gratitude for showing me the wondrousness of Blurb.) But I’m definitely not the only one to feel that way. Thousands of people have shown their Moo love on the Moo Flickr group, of which I’m a part. Read More SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:... Read More
Flickr Friday: Tilt-Shift Photography
This week on Flickr, I’ve been browsing photographers’ tilt-shift images (I think the “fake miniature” effect is really neat). And above is my first attempt at trying to create a tilt-shift image using Adobe Photoshop and a few simple steps (which I’ll explain below). What is tilt-shift photography? Tilt-shift photography is exactly that. It’s the technique of tilting the lens relative to the camera to create... Read More
Flickr Friday: Picnik, anyone?
One of the neat things about Flickr is that not only do you have a great place to share your photos, but Flickr also offers you ways to do neat things with your images. Flickr has partnered with several great companies to deliver amazing photo products, and recently, Flickr has teamed up with Picnik—a free online photo editor. (You can pay for a premium version of Picnik, which costs $24.99 a year. The premium version is ad-free and offers a lot... Read More
Flickr Friday: Fortunes!
For yesterday’s Project 365 photo, I photographed this crazy fortune cookie that I got at work. It’s a fortune cookie covered with white chocolate and sprinkles—and it’s a marketing piece for a public relations management company. Clever. Because inside the cookie was not a fortune, but an ad. But anyway… The cookie itself tasted pretty darn good, and the company can keep sending these to sell their services if they want... Read More

Dear February: I Need More Photo Inspiration
It’s the second month of Project 365, and the challenge of taking one photograph a day is getting more difficult. I think I’ve exhausted the photos of my animals, and I know I’ve already taken photos of all my trinkets at home. And I’m not sure how many more selfies I can take (the bathroom mirror has been part of my photos for at least three days of Project 365). I go through Flickr’s Explore pages all the time to...

MOOs Rock!
Hi, my name is Lia, and I’m a MOO-aholic. Flickr has completely taken over my life. And now, I have a new addiction thanks to Flickr. I’m addicted to Moo minicards. Yes, I am. And I can’t quit ‘em. Moo minicards are high quality, heavyweight cards that are 22mm x 78mm (they’re based in London, so they’re metric measurements). They can be used for anything: business cards, gift tags, product tags, tiny art pieces,... Read More
