Photos and images (week 6)

#10 Lesson:

I used to have a yahoo photo account until yahoo photo service closed down, which left my photos in the hands of flickr and whom rearranged all my photos and made private ones into public, then to hear (and experience) you cannot download the photos you have previously uploaded was upsetting. although flickr has unlimited space for users, you have to question how long before flickr shuts down as well? Best to back up your precious photographs onto external hard drives and upload a copy online. I have picasa account and facebook photos where i share my photos with friends.

#11 lesson:

Mash up 3rd party softwares are okay and ability to link photos from you album on flickr is great for those with an artistic flare and want to display photos in non-conventional way or playful way.  perl/flash require coding application like dreamweaver to edit them and a ftp to upload it unless a website provide web based ftp for you.

Here's a picture of my cat, where the picture has been played around with image generator, a 3rd party mash up application call "bead it".
