There's been some interest in our Shacknews Flickr group. This is a great chance to show us your work as well as get some critique from your peers. So be sure to join up! Once you're approved, go through the pool and leave comments on other Shackers' pictures. I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when someone leaves me some comments.

While you're at it, don't forget to join our Assignment Group. This is an excellent way to improve your photography. I'm pretty sure we're going to be doing these bi-weekly. The current assignment is self-portrait. So go and take a self portrait of any kind and post it to the assignment group. Be creative!

I'm going to link a few of my favorites from the pool here. I'm using their flickr account names so if you have no idea who some of them are...neither do I.
