Do you have an interesting Flickr story?

I’m back, looking for some interesting stories about photo sharing on the Web. The goal is to interview people doing unique things in the world of web photo sharing. Like before, the focus is going to be on Flickr, but that doesn’t have to be exclusive.

If you’re interested in being interviewed for the podcast, or you know someone I should approach, please go to the contact page and send me a note.

The revised Photo Share Podcast is going to be a bit different. Right now Sandra isn’t going to be co-hosting, though I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s a guest sometimes. We’re going to talk about photos that people contribute to the Flickr group, but I’m not sure if we’ll have a formalized photo of the week.

There will be a greater focus on interesting interviews. That’s what I enjoy most: talking to people about things they’re doing.

So, who should I be talking to?!

Photo Share Podcast #25: Using Flickr To Archive Pictures

Bill Hector Weye — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:51:06 +0000

Thanks for joining us again on the Photo Share Podcast. We especially want to thank everybody that has been contributing photos and answering the question of the week on the Flickr group. This week our photo was contributed by The Great God Pan (Zak). Is that a mime or a “living statue”? We couldn’t figure it out.

Our interview this week is with Dboo (Steve), who is the photo archivist for the collection of photos that Nick DeWolf took before he passed. This isn’t just any collection of photos . . . in terms of volume we’re talking about thousands and thousands of photos (by the way Steve was talking, maybe hundreds of thousands!). And most of these photos are from film cameras, so Steve is scanning negatives and photos all the time. Anyhow, Nick DeWolf was an interesting guy, so most of our conversation is about Nick, his photography, his life and times. Part 2 of the interview will be up in a couple of weeks.

Speaking of a couple of weeks . . . based on our erratic schedule of late you might have guessed that Sandra and I have been pretty busy. We’ve both got things going on right now, so for the foreseeable future we’re going to an ever other week schedule. We don’t want to stop because we enjoy talking to Flickr members so much, but it’s tough to find the balance we need.

Anyhow . . . our question of the week . . . What is your personal favorite style of photography? And Why? You can answer that question and also contribute photos to the group at the PSP Flickr group.

Thanks for listening and talk to you in a couple of weeks!

Photo Share Podcast #22: Billboards and News

Bill Hector Weye — Tue, 27 May 2008 18:43:18 +0000

There have been a lot of great things happening with the podcast lately; we’ve got a bunch of dedicate administrators looking around for intriguing photos to invite to the group, and the number of members is steadily growing. Sandra and I would like to thank everyone of listening and submitting their photos.

Take a look at that photo there, submitted by Demi-Brooke. It’s another great photo by one of our younger members that really shines. Thanks being for submitting the latest photo of the week!

And we present part two of the interview with Helena Zinkham from the Library of Congress. Speaking of which, there was an article in the Boston Globe last weekend about the LOC Flickr project, and it quotes Helena.

Finally, we’d like you to tell us what interests you. What kind of question of the week should we be asking? Hey, we’re not too proud to say we’re not doing a good job of creating questions that would appeal to people! You can answer that question, as always, on the PSP Flickr group.

Have a good week.

Photo Share Podcast #21: Flowers, Prizes and The LOC

Bill Hector Weye — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:00:38 +0000

We’re baaaaaack! Hard to believe that we’re 21 episodes into this thing . . . did you know that most podcasts are discontinued after just 4 or 5 episodes?

On to the show . . . our photo of the week comes from Basher’s Batey, and we’d like to thank her very much for contributing her work to the group.

Our interview this week, part one of two, is with Helena Zinkham from the Library of Congress. She is one of the team that’s working on the LOC Flickr project. You might have noticed their profile and the photos they’ve uploaded so far. Right now they’re uploading 50 photos a week from the Bain News Service collection, but they’ve already uploaded over 3600 photos. The idea is to make this photos available for people to tag and contribute comments that further contextualize the photos. Stay tuned for the second part next week.

Our question of the week was inspired by some of our interviews. “People often experience life changes which may or may not effect their photography. With or without details, would you like to share how your photography has been effected by these changes?” You can answer the question at the PSP Flickr Group.

While I have you here, I’d like to point you to a new resource on the Web that interacts with Flickr: PhotoShop Express. It’s a Web based tool that allows you to edit and store your photos, plus upload them back to Flickr. Oh, and it’s free.

Speaking of free, we’re having a contest. The purpose of the contest is to promote the podcast — total self interest, I know — but there is some over all benefit: the more popular we become, the better interviews we can get. In that light, I’m giving away 3 domain names that I own. How can you participate in the contest?

You need to promote the podcast on the Web or any other method you can, asking people to come to the Photo Share Podcast and subscribe to the feed. That means you can talk the podcast up on your blog, in your photo stream, on your Flickr profile . . . or any other idea I haven’t thought of. Using our stats package I can tell exactly where our traffic is coming from, so it’ll be pretty easy for me to determine the winner. If you’re doing something interesting you think might not be reflected in our stats, let me know.

To get them you need to either have a Godaddy account or start one (they’re free too). When we announce the winners on the June 16th podcast the first people to contact me will get first choice of the domain name they want. Here are the domains I’ll be giving away:

http://www.thebestpodcasts.com

http://www.theslowshow.com

http://www.whomadewho.org

Just to let you know, next month I’ll probably be having another contest.

Thanks for listening; we’ll talk to you next week!

Photo Share Podcast #20: Our Erotic Side

Bill Hector Weye — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:16:32 +0000

I know there’s some clever quote from a Prince song about being erotic that I could use here, but I can’t think of it . . . oh, well. Really our interview with Alejandra Guerrero (Corporate Vampire) isn’t about being erotic, but that’s the type of photography she does for work. The interview is about her being put on “restriction” by Flickr even though she was following the community guidelines. In many ways the guidelines are pretty vague, and her restriction seems to be arbitrary because I see pornography all over Flickr (photos that were not taken by the poster –Â which is against the guidelines), and these people don’t have their accounts (most often free ones) shut down. Why?

On another subject . . . we have our photo of the week, submitted by Yyellowbird and voted on by people that visited the Photo Share Podcast website. I’m serious, to me that photo doesn’t look like she has a bunch of props around her; do you think that photo’s staged? Anyhow, thanks for the submission and to all the people that voted for the photo. Check out the site to vote on a new set of photos.

Finally, our new question of the week (back to the erotic!): What are your feelings and thoughts about erotic photography on flickr? How do you think Flickr should make the distinction between erotic photography and pornography? You can answer the new question at the PSP Flickr group.

Thanks for listening and have a great weekÂ . . . alright, here are those Prince lyrics to “Erotic City”. ;)

Photo Share Podcast #19: Cinco de Mayo

Bill Hector Weye — Tue, 06 May 2008 12:24:27 +0000

Hellooo! That right there is our photo of the week, chosen by people that come to the Photo Share Podcast website. You too can participate by coming to the website to vote. The photo this week was contributed by Andy Sunley. Thanks for this and all your contributions!

This week we had part two of our interview with Chris Seufert, who is a regular contributor to the PSP Flickr group and a professional photographer (really, an all around media creator). One thing that’s interesting is how hard it’s to follow the Flickr community guidelines, that in many ways these are contradicted by some of their own policies found on other pages.

Stay tuned for next week when we have an interview like you’ve never heard on the PSP, when we talk to someone who was put on restriction for not following the guidelines . . . even though she was.

Our question of the week, which you can answer on the PSP Flickr group, is Do you ever use your cell phone for taking photos, and if so how do you share these photos?

Thanks to everyone for listening, we’ll talk to you next week!

Photo Share Podcast #17: We’re Demanding Donuts!

Bill Hector Weye — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:43:17 +0000

Sorry we’re a little late, but we’re making fine audio products here! We have a great interview with Barbara, the young photographer that won photo of the week last week. It’s a great interview, especially for us old folks who don’t really know how young people are using Flickr.

This week our photo of the week comes from MilwaukeeJohn, who takes some really cool photos. And please vote for our photos of the week; we really want to get a better turn out in support of the photographers nice enough to submit photos to the PSP group.

Why are we demanding donuts? Because, that was this group is doing, which is sort of poking fun at all of the protest groups that seem to pop up whenever something changes at Flickr, which has recently happened with the introduction of Flickr video.

And the question of the week, which I think is a good one, is ” If you could take a photo of any historical event, what would it be?” You can answer that at the Flickr group.

Thanks for listening everybody, and we’ll talk with you in two weeks.
