Thing 7 (Explore flickr)

Cedar porch project





The photos above are just a few shots of a screened-in porch that I recently installed solid cedar plank siding.  I got the wood from a friend who has a saw mill, then I planed one side, cut to size, and routed the edges for aesthetics.  My friend and I are considering a little side business where he cuts and mills the trees and do my part and install solid cedar paneling to customize closets. I was thinking that flickr might be a good place to store examples of the work I do as a form of advertisement.

I enjoyed this activity, as it was easy, straight forward, and I can see using it for personal photos, the reason I mentioned above, and possibly for school, as well.  For school, I could see using it for images that may relate to a lesson or storing pictures that I may embed into a lesson powerpoint.

For non-personal photos, I don't have any concerns about my photos being public.  For personal photos, even private, I worry about a little about security.  I am not a normally paranoid person, but in lieu of CMCSS's databases recently being hacked, it does remind you that nothing on the net is 100% safe.  I do like that I was able to use the flickr app on my ipod to download pics, so I can see this as a good place to store my pics.
