#9 Flickr

Picture Australia have an initiative where you can download public domain images and mash them up and submit to a flickr group. This is interesting, and I check that out further to see what they've come up with and if any SLV images have been used...

Rossco ( Image Focus Australia )

I have found on the desk already that when searching PictureAustralia, images from flickr appear. It can be useful to demonstrate more contemporary documentary images, as opposed to the historical archived images.

The most fun to be had on flickr is the drawing tool where you use something like MS Paint and do a drawing or just mark some colour and then flickr matches its results to your drawing. Have not thought of a real life use for this apart from fun.
