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.
