Elevate myself

Last week I signed up for my third year of Flickr. It's been two years since I got my first digital camera and I've been pretty happy with it, but I use it a lot less than I initially thought I would. I've got to work on that in 2008!

To celebrate, here are my favorites of the past two years from my own Flickr stream:

↺ In the meadow (again) Window to the sky The Way Lovers over Lake Annecy Red T Sunset on Saint-Michel bay (2) Rock on rock You lookin' at me? Wireless Ce ciel à mes pieds Shine on me Minikaribu on the train back to France Street light as fairground, second try Angel Green There are heroes in the seaweed Glass ball (1) Sand, wind and sunlight

Out of curiosity: how did you extract your own favorites from flickr? I've been a subscribed myself for the last 2 years, but last time I checked I was unable to mark as favorites my own photo.

However, what I would really like is indeed the ability of mark my favorites photo and have a badge of that.

I was thinking at using a "favorite" tag or something, but maybe you've a better solution ...

TIA

Zack: since this was a one-time thing I just went through my archives (the detailed view) and collected bits of HTML (using the 'All sizes' button) which I copied/pasted into the blog post. Pretty easy.

Obviously if I wanted to do that on a regular basis I'd script it; I've seen other people use a set to group all their favorites. Extracting all the thumbnails from a set should be pretty straightforward using the Flickr API.

In fact I think I'll go create a 'My faves' set right now, with the photos shown in this post. :)
