The folks from 123flickr have released a new service at host.123.flickr.com that takes your Flickr account and gives it a “dynamic, functional, cool interface”. All you need to do is go to host.123flickr.com, enter the URL to your Flickr account, then it will generate a page for you complete with a URL you can give out or link to. Its a great way to show off your Flickr photos as a gallery. You can see my page here. A few drawbacks I’ve seen so far is that it will only show the first 30 pictures from any of your sets, it will not show pictures that are not in sets and there is no way to go from one picture to another without going back to the main page. Otherwise its a nice way to show off your portfolio to friends, family or potential clients.

I’m sure you have all seen the videos on YouTube of people who took a picture a day for a year and compiled it into a video. Well now thanks to Flickaday you too can have faceblog of yourself from the comfort of your own home. Flickaday takes the idea and makes it super simple. Go to their website, enter your login and password and click Take my Picture. Bam! your picture is taken and its added to your collection. It uses Flash to access your webcam so no additional software is needed. They generate a widget that you can embed anywhere you’d would like, just like the one above. Even add some music. The webpage will email you if you haven’t taken a picture for the day yet so you don’t forget. You can only take one picture a day so make it count. I decided against this kinda project when I started my Project 365 but the website makes it super simple so I’ll be uploading my picture each day until I get tired of it.

Some of my photos from the Lost Planet Release Party in San Francisco were recently featured in the e-zine Science Fiction/San Francisco issue #38. That issue is now available for free download.

Back in July, i bought a new FujiFilm V10 digital camera to replace my aging HP Photosmart 315. I wanted to get into photography a little but never found the time. Well, with the start of the New Year, I’m going to start my own Project 365 by taking a photo every day. This will help me learn more about photography and just help document my life in a whole new way.

I’ve already started and you can view my Photoset on Flickr.
