Flickr Tutorials

Several video tutorials on how to upload photos, download photos and share photos with groups on Flickr.com have links posted on the clipperband.org FAQ. Hopefully these will help people to navigate Flickr more easily. Happy photo sharing!

Wanted - YOUR PHOTOS - for the PHS "Disney-Memories" Photostream on Flickr!

We have started a private Flickr group for Disney trip participants to share their photos in a group photo pool. Everyone making the trip is invited to share their photos and will be receiving an email with an invitation to join the group. The goal is to have a great set of photos that everybody can draw on to for great memories of the 2012 Disney trip, and to include as many people as possible in the photo collection. So, we are hoping that a lot of trip participants will want to join the group and share their photos while they are on the trip, or afterwards as we will keep the group open for new photos for a while after the trip is over.
If you have not received an invitation to join the Disney-Memories Flickr group, please email Suzanne and Marc Vogt, and we will send you an invitation to join the group.
