Steven Curtis Chapman on Flickriver

Working on all the photos I took :D. Todd Agnew and Stellar Kart were last night - great concert!! Have to give a shout out to Azure Grove Design Studio. At this point last week we were told my Grandfather was dying and would more than likely be gone by now. In order to prepare for the worst, I did what any self-respecting girl with two major concerts in one weekend would do: I Flickrmailed one of my contacts (whom I've never met before!!) and asked them to photograph my concerts in case I couldn't be there! Joe actually believed me and totally rocked it out! The good news is my grandfather is still with us and I was able to go, so I sat back, relaxed, and fired off a few shots for fun. Can't wait to see all of Joe's photos - thank you Joe for your help!!!

About Flickriver

Flickriver is a web-based image viewer that provides a new way to explore and view Flickr photos.

It's a personal project of Alex Sirota (aka iosart).

Flickriver enhances your photo browsing experience in several ways:

River of photos - the photographs are always displayed as one continuous stream - you can view thousands of photos without ever needing to hit 'next' and waiting for the next page to load! This is also known as "infinite scroll". Check out my most interesting photos for an example
Large images - size really matters when you truly want to appreciate the beauty of photography
Black background - most photographs just look better on black - won't you agree?
User most interesting photos - see other people's photos ordered by interestingness
Most interesting Pool photos - see photos in any Pool ordered by interestingness
Random order view - explore any user's or group's photos in random order
Photos of user's contacts - see recent photos from contacts of any user
Keyboard navigation - you can press j/k to go to next/previous photo. Hitting space also allows quickly jumping to the next photo. v opens the original Flickr page for the currently visible photo

Beyond the features above, Flickriver has many additional Flickr photo views - user recent photos, favorites, sets, user and everyone's photos by tag, everyone's most interesting and recent photos, group and pool photos and more. Also, Flickriver follows the Flickr URL structure as much as possible, so you can easily go back and forth between the two.

Important

Question: Why am I seeing my photos on Flickriver?

Answer: Flickriver is simply an alternative Flickr viewer, and as such it displays all public Flickr photos using the official Flickr API - similarly to hundreds of other alternative Flickr viewers and tools. Flickriver doesn't host any photos and doesn't reference any photos specifically - it is merely a viewer that reflects whatever Flickr provides it when you ask it to.

Flickr have specific guidelines for viewers such as Flickriver and other applications that use their API - for example, once a viewer displays a public Flickr photo, the photo must link back to its original Flickr page - so there can be no misunderstanding about the image origin, author or copyright. As you can see, Flickriver is absolutely compliant with this guideline. You can read the official Flickr FAQ about this here and here.

Flickr allows you to opt out from third party services having access to your photos using Flickr API. You can opt out on this page by selecting both:

Hide your photostream from searches on 3rd party sites that use the API
Your profile - hide me from searches

Once you opt out on Flickr, your photos should no longer be viewable on Flickriver.

Note: Flickriver uses the Flickr API but is not endorsed or certified by Flickr.
