The walls of San Francisco's 111 Minna Gallery were plastered tonight with more than 2,800 photos taken by Flickr devotees -- about as many as are uploaded to Flickr per minute on your average Saturday night. They were hand-selected from the pool created in honor of Flickr's 4th birthday, which the faithful were out in force to celebrate.
There were photos of newborns, wombats, hedgehogs, Vietnam, the Alps, Groucho impersonators, numbers, shoes, coffee, the Batmobile, libraries, suck-ups, and, my favorite, rubber duckies. Printed by Photoworks San Francisco, they created a stunning backdrop as Flickerites wolfed down catering by Say Cheese and 400 cupcakes from Kara's Cupcakes. Never was there a party with more cameras in tow.
All walks of Flickr life were on hand, including a dozen thrift-store brides from the Brides of March, adding a Flickrly appropriate dose of iconoclasm to the evening.
Check out our photos, along with the bevy taken by fellow guests here. Happy Birthday, Flickr.
