Downstage using Flickr for backstage photos

Have a look at show pic­tures and behind the scenes at Flick­râ„¢

Ever wondered what a theatre show looks like behind the scenes? Or you want to have a look at some images from a show before you buy your tick­ets? Or simply drift away in memor­ies when watch­ing shots from a pro­duc­tion you’ve recently seen? Have a look at our newly estab­lished photo gal­lery at Flickr. From now on you can have a look at pic­tures from shows, rehears­als and behind the scenes at http://www.flickr.com/photos/downstage/ We hope you enjoy them!

Flickr: Wellington is more than just a Group

Huh? “Flickr … Group” … what are you blither­ing about man!?!? It’s okay, you’re not alone as I had to have the whip­per-snap­pers sit me down in my bath-chair and explain what the jolly Moses they were talk­ing about. It seems that using this newly fan­dangled Inter­net we don’t have to store all our pho­tos in a card­board box under the spare bed any more. No, we can “post” them up to the Web and let the world* see our hol­i­day snaps.

Flickr is one such place that lets you post your pho­tos.

And, you can tell the world where the pic­tures came from by either pop­ping them onto a map or adding the place name as a tag/label.

You can even join up with like minded folks and share your pho­tos in “com­munity photo albums” (groups) on any sub­ject you care to dream up.

Aha, you prob­ably saw where this was going a lot quick­er than I did when the young uns were explain­ing it to me with the use of short words, dia­grams and plenty of naps in the sun to recov­er.

Online to On the Wall

We all know that Wel­ling­ton is a great place to take pho­tos: its nat­ur­al beauty, pub­lic art, lively street life and eclect­ic archi­tec­ture all con­trib­ute to a visu­ally stim­u­lat­ing city. The busy Flickr-ers of the Wel­ling­ton Flickr group know this, and they’ve decided to take their best pho­tos into the real world.
