Thing Four: My friend Flickr

I'm having a great time looking through all the excited library people posting and messing with Flickr tags. I immediately want to start posting photos of what people are reading in my neighborhood. However, sitting at my computer thinking about this and walking around with my camera are two different things. If I master my cell phone camera, I think I could do more damage.

Do cameras and libraries mix well? I like the idea of creating presence, and I think this is a great way to do it. Minnesota History Center's pics of gallery displays and distinctive features is great. If anything, thinking about Flickr providess an entrance to thinking about the visual aspects of our spaces, and leveraging any marketing skills we might have to advertise our wonderful stuff.

Yes, we are word people who need to be picture people, too.
