23 Things Project: Thing 4 Photo Sharing via Flickr

So Thing 4's assignment is to learn about photo sharing via Flickr or another photo sharing site. I chose Flickr because I use it to upload pictures to my Ravelry account of all my knitting projects. If you are a knitter or crocheter, check out Ravelry at http://www.ravelry.com/ and sign up for a free account. My screen name is iceprincess. Check out my project page to see what I've knitted.

I was browsing the Flickr website and came upon several unique gallery pictures of knitting that were part of an art exhibit. It was part of an exhibit at the National Institute of Health (though I don't know what city this museum is in). The picture was entitled Knit Circle II. Check it out at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/goshdarnknit/6093279456/ .  The picture made me feel like we were all connected in this big world by the threads that knit our lives together. Corny I know, but I was impressed by the exhibit photos. What can I say.

I wish I had discovered the power of Flickr for saving your photos before I lost all my photos from my smart phone's SIM card when something just wiped it out. They were all there one evening and gone by morning. All my captured memories of my family, our visit to Disneyworld, my cats...gone in an instant. Now I know, so it won't happen again!

Au revoir,
Debra Y.
