Expedition photos
After a bit of a rethink, I've decided to upload all of my expedition photos to Flickr. You can see the pics here and you can subscribe to my photostream's RSS feed here.
A few things prompted my volte-face. First up, one of my geek heroes, Matt Haughey (the founder of MetaFilter) blogged about what I was up to. Secondly, I noticed that an even bigger geek hero, Pierre Omidyar (the founder of eBay) had posted a photo of me speaking at TED in his Flickr stream. Next, John pointed out that I could subscribe to a 'recent activity' RSS feed so I didn't need to keep going online to read comments, and that a few people had found a nice way of stiplulating licence/attribution details for their photos.
Last up, I discovered Fraser Speirs' *brilliant* Flickr Export Plugin for iPhoto (it's quietly uploading 185 photos as I type this). Ain't the internet brill'?
More uploading tomorrow…
(NB - the photos are straight from the camera, completely un-photoshopped. I might tart a few of them up if I have the time.)

I didn't know about that "recent activity" rss feed option. Thanks for that, Ben! Very useful…

Geez. I had just assumed you already knew about the Flickr plugin for iPhoto or I would have mentioned that too. Makes a world of difference!

Awesome news Ben, great to hear. I was going to mention the iPhoto plugin when you said your uploads were taking forever… I've found that both the mac and pc uploading tools make it pretty easy to contribute a ton of shots to flickr.
