We collected a lot of photos and screenshots as part of the 2019 reunion. The slideshow at the Saturday banquet was full of memories. With all those photos, it would be a shame to throw them away. Instead, we now have a SAHS/SJA Class of 1969 Memories group on Flickr.
If you aren’t familiar with Flickr, it is a photo management platform with some very impressive social networking features - one of those being groups. While each photo posted to Flickr has features for describing the photo and connecting with the person who posted it. It is a great place to post your favorite photographs - not only to share with others, but also as a protection against disasters.
I am using Flickr Groups as a great way to protect all the photos collected for the reunion and make those photos available to our classmates - those who attended the reunion and those who could not make it.
And there’s more . . .
Flickr’s social networking features make it possible to connect with other Flickr users for private conversations or via group discussions within a Flickr group. So, while it will be another ten years before the next reunion, we can easily stay in touch with our classmates through the photos, videos (yes, videos) and discussions on Flickr.
Flickr offers both a free and “Pro” subscription. The Pro option is necessary if you wish to post a large collection of photos to your account. Our Flickr group is being managed by Denise who has been a Flickr Pro user for years. To get connected, open your web browser and enter the group address - https://www.flickr.com/groups/sahs-sja-1969/. Flickr will take you to the group page but you will need to log in (if you already have a Flickr account) or sign up if you need to create your account. Once that’s done, follow the address to the group and start looking around. If you have any questions, you can contact me through Flickr.
