Flickr Account Reviews

I recently created an account on the Flickr photography website for a friend and uploaded a couple of their pictures (3 to be precise) to get them started. I tagged each picture appropriately but found that they were not coming through on the RSS feed for that tag (something which I use Flickr for quite extensively).

After some searching, I found out (via a Flickr Forum Article) that:

  1. All new Flickr accounts must be reviewed before being accessible via the Flickr RSS feeds
  2. In order for a new account to be reviewed, you must have uploaded at least 5 public photos.

Since I had only uploaded 3 photos initially, this looks like the chief suspect for the behaviour that I’m seeing. I’ve uploaded some more now so will post back if/when the issue is resolved.

Light on Leaf and Land

Light on Leaf and Land is the title of a new photography exhibition by John Mernin that will take place during November 2008. It will feature a collection of unique photographs from around County Waterford (Ireland) and beyond, each with the theme that inspired the title of the exhibition, Light.

The exhibition itself will be launched on Friday, 21st November at 9pm in Dowers Bar, Ballymacaw, Co. Waterford and will go on display at Fisherman’s Hall, Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 22nd and 29th of November 2008. Several mounted prints are available for purchase and are priced at €30 (with a €5 donation to the Carbally Community Centre).

So, if you fancy doing something different for an hour or so over the coming weeks, why not drop by and lend your support.
