Fluidr presents a new way of exploring Flickr photos and videos.
It was designed to allow you, the viewer, to discover and interact with Flickr photos and videos with as little distraction as possible. This is achieved by:
Fluidr is a hobby project of Sidath Senanayake (haelio on Flickr) and was initially developed as a way to share photos with friends and family without them having to wait for page loads each time they moved from one large-size image to the next. They soon found that they would get a lot further into a photostream before moving onto something else when they used early versions of Fluidr.
In light of this it was decided to offer Fluidr to a wider audience as a way to give something back to the wonderful Flickr community. Fluidr will always remain free to use and ad-free. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do! If you like Fluidr, please tell your friends about it.
Fluidr relies on 3rd party open source software and has been inspired by other websites. Please see the credits page for more information and attributions.
The idea behind Fluidr was borne the first time I used Bing's image search. I was taken aback with the feature that allowed you to keep on scrolling through the search results without needing to click on a 'next' link. Being a heavy Flickr user, I thought of putting the two together, and learn some web programming and design while I was at it.
Fluidr would like to thank the following:
Fluidr received useful feedback from john weiss, aaronwitte, Sal Petruzelli Marino, Sergiu Bacioiu, Paulie W, Pseudorandom, Chinsen and Serious Dr. Please provide feedback, it really helps and you might get credited too!
Fluidr is currently in alpha and is a closed project. I intend to open source the code at some point once it is cleaned up. In the meantime, you can track it's progress and provide change requests and issues at Fluidr's project page.
Fluidr was designed in the hope that it would be as easy to use as possible. If you are having issues perhaps the following will help answer your question. If not, please try providing feedback and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Fluidr uses the official Flickr API and so can display whatever results it returns. Many other Flickr viewers and tools exist and will also be able to access your photos through the same means.
If you would not like Fluidr display your pictures in general searches, you will have to make a few changes to your Flickr settings. Please follow the following steps:
Note that this doesn't work if someone specifically searches for you in the user box above; it only prevents your photos appearing in general searches.
Many of the keyboard shortcuts only work when you are in slideshow mode. To enter slideshow mode, simply hit spacebar, j or k. Keyboard shortcuts should then work fine.
The easiest way is to follow Fluidr on Twitter.
Firstly, apologies for this! This can be solved by setting the Safe Search settings in your Flickr account. Head on over to this page and select the option that suits you best. Please note that unless you have signed in, you can only view 'safe' content.
Currently Fluidr is a closed project, but the plan is to open source everything at some point in the not-to-distant-future. If you would like to contribute to Fluidr in a technical or design capacity, please submit a question via the feedback page.
Thank you! Fluidr was designed as a way for me to share my photos with my family and friends and so is entirely a personal project and so if you enjoy using it that's enough :) If you really like Fluidr, consider telling your friends to give it a spin or adding it to your favorite Flickr Apps here. If you feel like sending me money—I'm flattered—but no thanks! Please add whatever contribution you had in mind to your next donation to charity instead.
Fluidr would like to be as useful as possible to all its viewers so please feel free to suggest features, request changes and report problems.
This is an older shot I took last summer (back when my Super Ricohflex TLR was still functional). I miss having a working TLR... And with the latest addition to my camera family (the Leica D-Lux 4), I may have a difficult time convincing Anita that I need another camera. But hot damn, what I wouldn't give right now to be shooting a medium format rig like a Mamiya C330, or even better, some Russian knockoff like a Kiev 88. I can only keep dreaming...
Sorry if I haven't visited your streams lately, I haven't been feeling well, and I've also been busy with a bunch of volunteering ventures I've taken on. Maybe I'll get around to blogging about those adventures sometime. Stay tuned.

I've been tagged by 3_little_birds, so I'm posting a rare photo of myself to my stream. I'm struggling to come up with 10 interesting things about myself, so if there's nothing listed here when you visit, uh... come back later and hopefully it'll be fully filled out.
1) I'm Chinese, but Canadian born - which means unlike the rest of my kin, I suck at math. And I can actually write a grammatically correct sentence when necessary (but if you take a quick read of my blog, you'd probably disagree).
2) I grew up poor, and always pitied myself when Christmas came every year without any cool presents. This is my excuse for being so piss poor at saving money - I'm making up for all those deprived years. Plus, I'm supporting our fragile economic recovery. :)
3) I tend to be an introvert, and so it can be hard to get to know me as a friend. But if you dig a little deeper, I have a lot more to offer than you'd think from looking at me.
4) Adventure is my favourite word - I like to think of everything in life as an adventure, and am willing to try just about anything at least once.
5) Narrow minded folks who can't look at both sides of any given topic annoy the shizzat out of me.
6) I don't like pizza. When I tell people this, they tend to give me a look like I just said I eat children for breakfast. I just had an overabundance of pizza during my youth. Too much of a good thing...
7) Vanilla is my favourite ice cream flavour. Even if I had a choice of 100 different flavours spread out before me, vanilla would still be one of my top picks.
8) I have man-crushes on Gael Garcia Bernal and Ryan Gosling. These dudes are just the most incredible young actors. I've seen 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and 'Half Nelson' close to a combined dozen times.
9) I love scrambling mountains - the higher the mountain, the steeper the drop offs, and the more dangerous/ difficult the route, the more I want to do it...
10) ... but yet, spiders literally scare the shit out of me. I can traipse along an exposed cliff face without fear, but the sight of a tiny spider makes me want to whimper like a little girl. It's quite pathetic, actually.
Gosh, that was painful. I think that took me 40 minutes to come up with. Blegh. And now you know a little more about me. And don't be a stranger - drop me a flickr mail and introduce yourself if I haven't already done so with you.

Just a plain old tree silhouette that I thought looked really pretty when I saw it. The sun was setting and was just this incredible halo of light behind the tree's trunk on the left.

This was one of my first rolls run through the Holga with the frame mask pulled out. Note the heavier vignetting, softer edges, and the yummy light leak in the top right corner. You can also clearly see that I didn't do a very good tape job inside - I used electrical tape on the inside rails to try and reduce scratches on the film, but the tape didn't stick very well, hence the very angular black strip down the right side of this shot.

Apparently my wife and I lost our minds simultaneously today. There is no other way to explain how we managed to impulse buy this Leica D-Lux 4 Safari Limited Edition this afternoon. Anyone familiar with Leica will know that they command premium $$$... so you can only imagine what a limited edition version costs...
But hot damn, did this little olive green cam and it's silver lens sucker us both immediately. So much sexier than the regular black edition.
More shots of this wallet emptying camera on my blog.
