100 Images – Plus 70

Whew! Because I can’t rely on Internet access for my presentation I just spent the last couple hours retracing my process of finding the TagGraph software and making numerous (70!) screen shots, 46 of which are within TagGraph’s navigation of my ‘100 Images’ on Flickr. Of course, the screen shot process results in a lot of images named ‘Picture 1.png’, ‘Picture 2.png’, ‘Picture 3.png’, etc. so I found myself absorbed in a sub-archival endeavour naming and organizing these images meaningfully.

Now I just have to summarize key points of my process thus far and squeeze it all into a presentation that will only take ten minutes.

Edit (2008/11/13 1:45AM): Oops, make that ‘Plus 104′ – I forgot to grab images from the Taglines app, which was the first Flickr image tag visualization example I came across. I made (and cropped) 34 screen shots to give an impression of its (non-interactive) time-line format. I’m probably doing way more than I need to but I want a lot of visuals. I have also been making point-form notes of the various stages I have gone through in this process so far.

    Thanks for the TagGraph shoutout! I’m always interested to see how people are using it.

    You’re welcome! Thank *you* for having developed just what I needed to realize the vision I had for this assignment and for making it freely accessible (student budgets are grateful). My ‘100 Images’ project presentation went well and the prof asked for a link to TagGraph (which I gave).
