Week #3 - Photo Sharing

I am totally new to the world of photo sharing and like others am reluctant to upload pictures of my family but see the benefits of these communities to public libraries. I can see from my searching on Flickr that some libraries have really embraced the world of photo sharing and are using it to promote events such as author talks and Library and Information Week activities.

I recently visited Boston and I just had a trip down memory lane searching using key words such as Red Sox, Back Bay, the Boston Common, Faneuil Hall and Harvard University. There are some beautiful historical photographs of Boston Public Library on Flickr, just search for Boston Public Library in the search field.

Here is a photograph of Central Park, New York, that I uploaded on Flickr, http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrnnhr/5780027767/in/photostream. I can’t remember its exact location within the park but the picture reminds me of the great time that I had in New York and the beauty of the park in Winter. Although it was such a cold day, the sky is blue and there were many joggers, walkers and tourists enjoying the park.

Off I go to do more exploring on Flickr…
