It's photosharing day in the We Are Media toolbox festival!

Does your organization run any events?  Do you hire a photographer?  We used to.  Now, each year at the NTC, we ask our colleagues to upload any digital photos they take into Flickr, and to tag those photos with 07NTC / 08NTC / etc. (and NTEN). 

The major down side is that we don't always get the high resolution images we might want for a printed piece of collateral. 

But there are many more up sides than down sides.  I can't think of a better way to show the energy and enthusiasm of our community than through their own photos!  Also, we get a much broader range of photos than we would from a single photographer.  Finally, when the photos are in a service like Flickr, we can use them in a multitude of ways.  

Take a look at the images in the header of our web site.  Those are all images on Flickr tagged "NTEN". 

Or, say you're working on a blog post about the Golden Gate Bridge. You can embed a slide show of photos right in your post:

If you use photo sharing, we want to know what tools you're using, and why.  Give us examples! Share those ideas in comments or on the wiki!
