About Home (understand yours by seeing ours)

Compare cultures by seeing images of the same thing taken in different countries. Photos in this group need two tags: the word that the photo represents, and the name of the country where the photo was taken.

The photos will be displayed side by side in an online art installation at www.dandelion.org/projects/programs/homeflickr
NOTE: The application is in development, but a good version is working now. But note, that it does not yet automatically integrate new photos. If you add photos to the group, then send an email to topherz AT dandelion DOT org.

So, photos added to this pool will be used in the installation. We hope that you will be interested in participating.

RULES:
Photographs should represent one word or idea, this pool is something like a visual dictionary.
Photos need to have 2 special tags:
1. The country where the photograph was taken. The tag key is "country"
i.e. "country=italy"
2. The one word that the photograph represents. The tag key is "oneword"
i.e. "oneword=bicycle"
3. A third optional tag, "mycountry" if the photo is of your own country.

We welcome photos of all things, but keep in mind that we want to build an 'image' of each country.

The comparison will work best if we have the same words represented in many countries. So here is a list of 50 words that we would like to focus on first. Again we welcome all submissions, but if you have any for these words that would be excellent.
