A cool way to view your photos on Flickr. TagGalaxy will make a planet out of your photos or any tag that you type into their page.
When you arrive at TagGalaxy simply type in a tag (keyword) to watch the creation of your photo galaxy. Related tags will be shown as neighboring planets. If you see a related keyword you like better, simply click on it to have it take center stage. Click on the central planet, and TagGalaxy will begin to assemble photos in the shape of a planet that are related to your tag word.
One click on a photography will enlarge it and give you the title. A second click, enlarges it further, gives you the photographer and other information about the photo if available, and shows a link to the photo's Flickr page.
Our view of the world is sometimes changed by the way we view it, and viewing a particular thought, such as "school" in TagGalaxy can give you a much different view than perhaps you expected. I not only found children in a classic American school, I also found a young ballet dancer, Amish children leaving in a buggy, Orthodox Jewish students playing around, Middle Eastern students in the door of their classroom and much more. Expand your horizons and pick a tag to explore.
If you'd like a planet of your own Flickr photos, simply type in your Flickr screen name. Suzanne Whisler brought this to my attention and her photography can be found by typing in [necc09] without the brackets.
