Thing 6 and Thing 7 Flickr

Virginia Beach Sunrise
I chose this photo because we vacationed here last year and I most certainly never saw a sunrise.

I can't imagine uploading any of my photos to Flickr. I have used Shutterfly for years to share and store my photos and for the most part am happy with the service. I have no desire for the world to look at my photos because I almost never take photos of scenery, etc., without "my people" in the shot. I consider it a job well done when I upload them to a folder while deleting the not so good ones. I would never take the time to tag each photo which is the point in Flicker. I think its a good idea, but for me, not so much.

After wracking my brain I remembered I had taken photos of food at my grandson's Halloween party that didn't have any "faces", and therefore no possible objections to posting. This is an issue I have run into countless times, and not just in the school setting. I know the point is being "social," but how much thought are people putting into this. Maybe the default shouldn't be "any Flickr member."
I found the process very easy except I thought I had capitalized "Halloween", yet it came up with a lower case "h." I didn't find an easy way to correct this. (I obsess over things like this.) I'm also not sure about the process of making my photos totally free, joining the Creative Commons "set," and whatever other options are available. I understand how to search in Creative Commons only, but haven't figured out how to search in LOC only. This is something I think would be useful for the classroom because searching on the LOC site is not particularly user friendly, especially for students.
