7 Ways To Search The Photosphere
Image searching can be sensory overload. Depending on the nature of your search, you’ll want to use a different image search engine. Timeframe. Location. Topic. Style. Quality. CC license. Everyone has their own angle. Here’s seven ways to switch up your photo search.
Music+Location Mashup: CitySounds.FM
Free streaming music sorted by urban scene? Powered by SoundCloud and packaged in a slick UI, CitySounds—dubbed ‘the music of cities’—is just that. Uploads are pushed to CitySounds in realtime—the music is fresh. Flickr adds style to the mix by displaying related photos. Listeners can see the most active cities and the most popular genres in each.
Flickr Search Fail
Is water polo related to digital music? Flickr thinks so. It also can’t tell the difference between a house and a person. Can anyone make sense of this and/or provide insight into Flickr’s search algorithm? I’m using the Recent tab, because I’m often most interested in more recent photos. The Recent search results should still be relevant. I’m a huge Flickr fan, but this isn’t the first time the search has me asking what the Flickr? Anyone else?

Music Photography: Quality vs. Memory [Poll]
Last week, with the help of photographer Adam Jackson, I posted a photoset from the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. UMF was a sellout event, but only a few photographers seemed to capture it. Adam voiced his frustration that for such a huge event like UMF, only a relatively small amount of decent media makes it to Flickr and YouTube.
Visualjournal (Updated)
We’ll be running a new image series, called Photo Journal, where we showcase live music photos, deviations, and digital artwork relating to music, arts, virtuality, and technology.
