Take a Tour with Nancy

Greetings!

This is the first photo in a set of 8 that will take you on a tour of the library and show you some of the ideas I have for using Flickr on my blog and on the library website. In some of the photos Nancy shows off a new program ( our Random Acts of Popcorn) and some new technology (the Wii unit that just arrived). Her photos also use the library as background and could be used to show off some of the architectural features of the building. Using the Nancy Perl doll allows me to avoid the problems of permission to use images of real people and also lets my sense of humor loose (Okay, I think some of the photos are funny. Maybe you don't and that's fine too!) and this way I can state categorically that no humans (or any other animals -- although I did find a dead asian beetle adhering to my knee after I took a low angle shot, but I think it was already dead because the insides weren't squishy (they were all dried up) were harmed in the production of this photo sequence. Flickr has been easy to use and if I've had difficulties, the help areas have been very good. One drawback -- besides having proper manners and asking people if you intend to publish their picture ( or getting a more legal release signed) is that you can't just link to a slide show (or at least I haven't figured out how to do it). But now, for your entertainment and amusement follow this link to my photo page and view the slide show.

Enjoy!
