FAQ: Accessing Photos from Flickr

Some of you have been wondering, how can I get to the original-size images that show up here on the blog?

Just as this blog is a closed environment, our online photo repository also has a layer of privacy to it. You'll be able to see the photos that I post to this blog, but if you want the full megapixel meal deal for downloading to your PC for printing or archiving, you'll need this log-in combo.

[If you have a Flickr account already, disregard this and send me an email with your account name -- I'll then invite you as a friend/family, which allows you full access to our photos.]

First, go to the Flickr sign-in page, and enter the following info:

Yahoo! ID: lemondrop_friend
Password: papaags

To make things really easy, check the box that will keep you signed in to subsequent visits for 2 weeks. After clicking the Log In button, you'll be sent to the intro page to the lemondrop_friend account, where you'll see a bucket for photos from the contacts for this account. I've set up our main Flicker account (bornflippy | flippyfacade) as the only contact, so you'll see a few of the latest photos there. To see all the bornflippy photos, simply click the bornflippy link under one of the highlighted photos.



When you click through to a photo, you'll see be presented with a row of icons, from which you can select All Sizes:



If you don't get automatically sent to the Original Size, click that selection and then click the link to Download the Original size.



Back out by clicking your browser's back button, or click the Back to Flickr photo page at the top of the page, then click the Bornflippy's Photostream link to see all photos in the collection.

Advanced Steps
If you've visited Sofian and snapped some pictures, you can upload them to the lemondrop_friend account for everyone to see. Simply click the Upload Photos link at the top of the page, then click the browse button to find individual photo files on your PC desktop. Before clicking the Upload button, please click the Private button as well as the Visible to Friends and Visible to Family checkboxes underneath.
