It’s a Lurvely day in the App Garden!

Lurvely Home

A great way to find new favorites on Flickr is to see what your friends are favoriting!

Developer Scott Mongrain is growing a fun application in the App Garden called Lurvely. It fetches Flickr photos you’ve added as favorites, brings you photo recommendations from your friends that they’ve favorited, and allows you to favorite new images you’ve noticed there. It’s a great way to explore parts of Flickr you’ve not yet seen and a cool way to see what your contacts enjoy, too.

lurvely

Here’s an example of how it works. Last night, I saw Kevin’s photograph of the full moon over the Bay Bridge and added it to my faves. Using Lurvely, I can see what other images have been favorited by the people who also faved his photo. I can also see what he’s added to his favorites recently.

Why not check out the other fun apps in the App Garden that allow you to take a walk down the path of favorites and see where your trail of discovery leads you.

Your Best Shot 2009

Also available in: 繁體中文, Deutsch, Italiano

your best shot 2009

It’s become somewhat of a tradition within the Flickrverse to look back over the last year and share a “best shot”. We hope that you’ll review the last year and share a photo in Your Best Shot 2009.

It can be the photo or video that most expresses your growth as a photographer, captures that special moment, or just plain rocks your socks off. It’s as simple as that.

We’ll be featuring a few of our favourites over the coming weeks here on FlickrBlog. Check out these two discussion topics within Flickr Central for a look back at 2007 and 2008.

Photochrom Travel

Photochrom prints are produced from black and white negatives through a colorization process and were popular in the latter 19th through early 20th centuries. The Library of Congress has a wonderful collection, and have shared more in some recent uploads with a lovely mix of urban and pastoral views of Holland, included in the Photochrom Travel Views set.
