It started with a Flickr.com discussion thread titled, “Photowalk anyone?†Ever since, the Flickr group has shot and posted photos exclusively of Lincoln. They’ve shot UNL’s Maxwell Arboretum, the Haymarket, the Nebraska State Capitol and, most recently, Sunken Gardens.
In two years of shooting, the group has an archive of nearly 5,000 photos of all things Lincoln, serving as a big, loving, knowing tribute to our city.
One thing the Lincoln Flickr group strives for, said group administrator and co-founder Sarah Rosenau, is to be welcoming to all ages and skill levels.
From little kids to old men. From novices to pros. But most of the members fall into the gray area.
“I think what Flickr does is it gets people that would have never considered either amateur photography or semipro photography to pick up a camera,†Rosenau said. “People can get inspired by a really talented and artistic photographer, and then they’re challenged to imitate. People are exposed to a higher level of photography in some people’s photo streams.â€
