A Universe of Photos

I'm sure you've been on Flickr before, if not to upload your own photos, then maybe to take a look at what others have posted.

Tag Galaxy is a unique way to look at Flickr photos using the tags assigned by the posters.  It's easy - enter a starting tag (I went with flowers) and the program brings up a 'sun' with various planets circling it.  Each planet has it's own tag - you can select as many as you want, each planet / tag acts as a filter on the photos that will be displayed.  I selected gardens and then macro.  I have no idea what macro means.

When you're ready to view photos, click on the sun.  The image above is what I got back.  You can  then click on any of the photos to get a larger view, use your cursor to spin the globe or click on the arrow at the top of the screen to bring a fresh set of photos.  It's like making your own kalaidescope of photos - much cooler than the image looks above.  Check it out - Tag Galaxy
