Flickr is amazing!

I've never seen so many impressive photos in the same place. I think it would be a great site to create a photo stream of library activities, and link to it on our webpage. And I am toying with the idea of creating a family photo sharing stream, restricted to family and close friends of course. Here is a favorite picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulngan/112434565/in/set-1077818/.

Concerns that came to mind were the amount of time it took to find exactly what I was looking for. Also finding pictures that are available to use. Every picture I looked at had rights reserved. I understand there is a way to search for creative commons but did not find anything about it in my perusal of the site. And I saw many pictures of beautiful women and precious children there for anyone to misuse. At least I did not see personal identifying information that would lead anyone to those children.

It would be easy to spend hours looking at some amazing photography!
