Time for a quick recap of what we’ve been up to over the last month at Flickr. There are so many things in the works so ICYMI, get caught up here!
Yesterday we asked you to find out your best shot of #Traffic for the #TwitterTuesday theme this week. We’ve got great shares from all of you. Whether the textile made by lights of cars in the evening, or the shadows of stopped bikes projected on the road, or people and creatures waiting for crossing the road or train, they all remind us the moment when we are moving.
Lewis Hine was a New York City school teacher and social documentary photographer. In 1911, he was hired by the National Child Labor Committee to document child labor abuses in America. His heart-wrenching images of children at work helped lead to the passage of new labor laws in the United States.
We introduced our Wildlife Wednesday weekly series last week. And to our delight, you shared a nice batch of photography of wild animals.
At the break of dawn, many of you are already up and busy shooting landscapes bathed in dramatic sunlight. There’s a staggering abundance of exceptional pictures from a “morning” image search.
Around 350 million years ago, the sedimentary rock domes of the Bungle Bungle Range in Australia were formed. Their layering of orange and grey bands in beehive-like shapes make up a distinctive landscape in Purnululu National Park, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 2003.
To participate in Mono Monday each week, tweet @flickr with the #MonoMonday hashtag or leave us a comment on our Facebook page. Thank you as always for sharing your inspiration with us!
Eva Merry could not imagine life without a camera in her hands. This 19-year old photographer from Austria started taking her photography seriously when she joined Flickr in 2011. Asked what she’s learned here, Eva replied, “Mostly that art doesn’t have to be pretty. It should make you feel something.”
Our last Flickr Friday theme was #HighNoon.
These days, it’s hard not to come across parents begging for our attention online by posting photos of their kids. But when you take a look at photographer Dave Engledow’s photostream, it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t have to beg for our attention — he already has it!
