My LOC Favorites

bridgetmckenz says:

Here are my favourites. I didn't do an extensive search through and haven't had time to explain my choices. I knew if I didn't do this straightaway I wouldn't have done it. One small thing is that anyone responding from UK would use English spelling to write Favorites/Favourites, and as you haven't asked people to send you the links to their galleries you might not find them all by a search.
My choices of photos were all to do with interests in how people alter their and interpret their environments, and also interests in children and indigenous peoples.

Hi Bridget,

Thanks so much for sending through the link to your gallery - it's a fascinating selection of photographs and very interesting to find out more about the reasons for your choices. Thanks also for pointing out the spelling issue - I'll make sure we look for both types of spelling when searching the galleries.

Thanks again!

Oops, looks like my multiple comments didn't save or get posted.
Oh well.
The comments were mainly about my surprise at finding only a limited number of images within these LoC sets.
Perhaps I looked in the wrong places.
Perhaps more are waiting on digitization and subsequent inclusion.

(Anyway, my interests and motivations in participating in this co-curating project were pretty much incorporated into the comments made alongside each of the images I selected)

My favourites below. Like Bridget, I knew if I didn't do it quickly, I would never get around to doing it. I looked into most of the sets, and opened anything that stood out into a new tab.

I guessed most of my favourites would come from the travel views as I studied geography, love landscape photography and travel. I was a bit daunted by the 1,286 photos. I didn't think I'd look through them all, but I was through them all before I knew it. It's a shame Flickr don't have a way to search within a set (...that I could find, anyway).

My favourites have beautiful, stunning landscapes with geometrical compositions - that's the type of photography I enjoy.

Thanks for asking me to take part - look forward to hearing about the research results, and it's been interesting to look through others' favourites too.

Wow, it's so hard to pick ten pictures. Most of mine are portraits, although not all. I love getting a sense of someone's personality through the years:

It's here. www.flickr.com/photos/lifeasdaddy/galleries/7215763107511...

First I went to my favourites page, and searched within for LOC. That brought up 60. I filled a tentative gallery, and easily reached 18. That left an overflow of another 6 contenders. Eventually I eliminated 14 to get my final 10.

I did not intend any particular theme of selection, but blow me down, it turns out my gallery comprises a couple of sub-themes of its' own.

Thanks so much to everyone who has created a gallery so far. There are some really fascinating choices and it's been wonderful reading through the reasons for your selections.

Thanks also for posting links to your galleries here so others can see what you have selected.

Just made the deadline!! I had to wait to explain my choices until my grandchildren who spent most of August with us had headed home.

Since the detective work is what I have enjoyed, I started by searching the web for my ID (and Flickr and LOC) to remind myself of pictures that had led to intriguing and appealing searches. I certainly don't claim that they are a "top" ten, but I picked about twenty from the web search results and then whittled down. I didn't deliberately pick themes, but personal stories of individuals in portraits is certainly one.

PS Another set of favorites will be found with the tag "crowd of hats".

I hope I still made it. That task was almost too hard.

My LOC Favorites

Terry Browne says:

Hi Bronwen, and all

In order to get the photos in the logical order I wanted, I have had to set up a new set.

Please see : www.flickr.com/photos/67908005@N02/galleries/721576314161... , and ignore the earlier one, as this became workings.

Currently, text nearly complete, though a little more research to do on photos 8 &10.

Thanks for all the views on the old one though!

Bronwen Colquhoun says:

Thanks so much to everyone for contributing their galleries for the LOC co-curation project. We now have the wonderful task of going through them all and finding out which images are of particular significance and why ( tough job but someone's gotta do it!). Once we have looked at everyone's selections we will post a new set of 'Favorites' to the LOC Flickr account and I'll be in touch with more info on when this is likely to be.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for taking the time to contribute to this project. I realise it was not a quick or easy task and I'm so grateful for your efforts and enthusiasm. I must admit it has been a wonderful experience to go through the galleries and read all about your selections. As expected, there have been a real variety of choices which never fails to remind me of the diverse interests and expertise of the Flickr community.

Thanks again!

Editing Galleries (Order of Photos, etc)

I read a couple of comments from folks who wanted to edit the order of the photos in their gallery.

With your Gallery open, in the upper right of your screen you will see the word "Actions ▾ " with a little ▾ (caron, or a háček) mark to the right of it.

Click on the caron mark and you can change the order of the photos in your gallery, or change the "featured" thumbnail, or delete your gallery.

So Bronwen, I wonder if, once you're done with your academic work, we get to see your top ten as well? Or does scientific impartiality prevent you from forming a subjective opinion? :)

I never did find 10 in the LOC, my favourites are elsewhere in the Commons.
