The inception of OpenPhoto was a desire to liberate our photos and take back control. Like you, our photos are the most valuable digital files we have. Also like you, we've used Flickr, Picasa and Smugmug and wound up with our photos scattered across numerous sites on the web.
We knew there had to be a better way to take, share and archive photos while retaining ownership. It didn't seem like anyone else was going to build it so we took it upon ourselves to solve this problem for everyone.
The last photowalk (at least that I know of) was back on April 10th. Anyone up for another? Perhaps through College Park? Perhaps October 1st? October 6th? Just asking...
Earlier this month, I tooled around Paris with Mike, Marc, Erik, John and about 800 other guys and gals for a big hippie free-software love fest. It was tons of fun, and I fully intend to keep bumping into these kids as often as possible.
I had a great time doing a real art show last night... some great people came by, and even one real puppeteer got a chance to try out with my creation!
There were several photographers there, some from Metromix, and 2 representatives of The Daily City.
My First Video on Flickr fit the new requirements perfectly: less than 90 seconds, and less than 150MB. That's fantastic, and the streaming in good, embed codes, tagging, fits right into my flickr photo/video stream, awesome.
