What do you want to see?

OK, so we might as well ask....these are all sections of our Goodyear Collection that are ready-to-go, but currently cloaked on our profile. We can't release all this material at once or we have issues with traffic and workload, so we need to go slow. Moving forward, what are you interested in seeing? What should we de-cloak first? Anything here that sparks an interest or has cross-collection Commons relevance?

Tell us what you think - we are looking forward to hearing from you.

Of those categories I'd say the Egyptian stuff and the Street Scenes & Panoramas sound the most interesting right off. Southern & Western Europe: Ruins, Middle East & African Ruins next, and then the Museums set. And then the rest in any order.

Frankly I wish it wasn't an issue for traffic and workload they all appear rather interesting, quite a teaser you've given us!

Brooklyn Museum says:

ha! sorry about that - i wondered if it would be too much of a total tease, but am happy we can try and go this route and set some priority based on what you'd like to see. going slow helps us keep our workload a bit more manageable (if we release too much and get too many questions...it can get kind of hard because we like to respond). our hope is that eventually we can do it all! -s

I can totally understand how and why the workload would be overwhelming and would impact the viewer's experience. I'd rather the tease, and have the images delivered and "managed" well than a flood and unhappiness.

Street Scenes and Panoramas if you please.

How about throwing in Egyptian Images & then Pompeii?

Question - how do you make them appear in people's recently posted from contacts if they've been posted and you un-private them, given that this doesn't change the posted date + time?

French or Belgium Churches or Cathedrals! I agree that these all look exciting, however. Would be more in theme to go with Egyptian.

Brooklyn Museum says:

hey 'ju:femaiz - i think we can batch change the posted date and time and that will push them up to the top of the feed. that helps us a little because often we have chunks of time to upload things all at once, but we don't want to release at the same time.

wow - have to say it's great to see familiar faces here (luluinnyc, the hills are alive) and new ones (madame, no trams, quero:, mystroh). thanks everyone!

(Full disclosure: I do data entry at the Museum and I did the grouping on these photos.)

I think the Pompeii group is the best--a wide variety of objects. I really wish there were more street scenes and panoramas.

It would be great to write a description of Goodyear's architectural research in conjunction with all these photos. His writings are in the public domain after all. In fact, Google Books has some of his work up already!
Roman and Medieval Art
Renaissance and Modern Art
Greek Refinements
A Renaissance Leaning Façade at Genoa

I remember being in art history class and hearing the arguments regarding Classical and Gothic architecture adjusting for perspective. I thought that was so cool. Then I got to look through the research photos of one of the guys behind the theory! Very cool.

"Street Scenes and Panoramas" and "Museums, Galleries and Art" are the only subjects that truly interest me.

I would be thrilled to see Middle Eastern Ruins; Context is less available than for Egyptian work (& I'm desperately curious). Of course, I'd also love to see Museums, Galleries and Art.

"Street Scenes and Panoramas" would be great.
Really...any of the sets would rock but since you asked. :)

Any of these would be awesome - they all look like hours of browsing, so bring it on!

A request: Any natural history stuff in the archives? I'm partial to plants but anything documenting the natural world from the Victorian era would be spectacular.

Brooklyn Museum says:

Hi Eric in SF, Goodyear was more of an architecture person, so most of his shots are more along those lines. Our head Librarian, Deirdre, is going to blog a bit more about his history next week...and we are going to release a couple of sets, so stay tuned. ~Shelley

Brooklyn Museum says:

Hi everyone!

Got a set announcement for you! First off, some explanation. We've been collecting feedback from three locations: the Flickr Commons group thread, the thread in the Brooklyn Museum group and the on this pic. Many thanks for all the feedback - it surprised us and helps us move forward.

Most people wanted to see the Street Scenes and Panoramas, followed by the Museums and Art set, followed almost equally by Turkey and Pompeii sets. Turns out, when we looked - Street Scenes and Panoramas are all street scenes of Turkey, so that set is has been renamed and will be released today.

Next, we carefully looked at Museums and Art and realized there are still a few things we have to talk about internally before we release that material. Goodyear was shooting when he visited other museums and, while it is fascinating, the institutions in the shots probably need a heads up before we release that set - we are working on it, but it may be a while (sorry for the tease).

Since we are releasing Turkey: Street Scenes, we decided to release the related Turkey: Mosques, given that it was also pretty high on your list.

So, with that:

Turkey: Street Scenes
Turkey: Mosques

Many thanks to dopiaza for giving us a tool to batch move all these cloaked images to the top of our feed!

Also, be sure to check out Deirdre's post in the Brooklyn Museum blog - she just posted today about some additional history related to Goodyear.

Thanks,

Shelley
