Urban Grind

By Lia ⋅ March 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Flickr Friday: Video! Video! Video!

By Lia ⋅ April 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Wow! Flickr now shares videos! What a week. On April 9, Flickr announced and started its video sharing program. So where do you start? Flickr has a great FAQ page set up with quick instructions and explanations about the new service.

Flickr Friday: MOO-liciousness on Flickr

By Lia ⋅ March 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Flickr Friday: Tilt-Shift Photography

By Lia ⋅ March 22, 2008 ⋅ One comment

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).

Flickr Friday: Picnik, anyone?

By Lia ⋅ March 14, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

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 [...]

Flickr Friday: Fortunes!

By Lia ⋅ March 8, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Flickr Friday

By Lia ⋅ February 22, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to start my Flickr Friday postings. I had the wonderful surprise of being able to access the Flickr website at work, which had been banned by our IT department for a few months now. I noticed that it was back when I opened up iGoogle and my Flickr gadget actually had images displayed instead of little red Xs all over the place. It was like Christmas.

47 Days

By Lia ⋅ February 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Wow. I’ve made it 47 days into Project 365. That’s awesome, and I’m really proud of myself. Above is a mosaic of the last 12 days. I’m really loving my most recent photo of my red flats; and of course, the fortune cookie photo says a lot about this project and who I am.

Dear February: I Need More Photo Inspiration

By Lia ⋅ February 4, 2008 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

MOOs Rock!

By Lia ⋅ January 23, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

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.
