Centrum's dear friend Julie Marston has sent over a batch of photos from the 2007 Waterworld program.
You can view them here.
Don't forget to view photos from the Oasis school in the Tri-Cities area.
And Keven's photos are here.
Sometimes it helps to read the manual!
It looks like Flickr--the website that we are using to share photos--has a 10-day review period when you set up a photo-sharing group. Therefore, it looks like anyone wanting to upload photos will have to wait until next week to do that. I'll make sure to let everyone know. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
In the meantime, you can see a selection of the photos I took here.
The photos from Oasis school are here.
On the lower right of the site, you will see a random selection of photos from the 2007 Waterworld program. By clicking on one of them, you'll be able to see that photo, and all of the other photos that we've loaded onto www.flickr.com. Flickr is a popular photo sharing website that makes it easy to upload and share photos.
We created a special "photo pool" for Waterworld. To join the pool and upload your own photos from this year, go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/centrumwaterworld/ and start posting!
If you shot video during the week, we hope you'll share that too. We've created a similar sort of group on Youtube where you can upload your Waterworld videos. Go to http://www.youtube.com/group/centrumwaterworld, post your videos, and we'll be sure to let the other participants know!
