Louisville: How to Achieve Virtually Instant Fame

Artistic Greatness: Three Easy Steps
1. Decide to be a successful and popular photographer.
One of the truly awesome things about Louisville is that it’s possible to be almost anything creatively. From a uniquely Gonzo-esque author to the creator of the world’s most-sung song, all you need is a little passion and the willingness to make it happen. In Louisville, you can experience a wealth of opportunities to express yourself artistically — it’s simply up to you.

2. Share your photos with other successful photographers just like you.
Get your hands on a digital camera and shoot some pictures that show Why Louisville Is Possibility City.

In case that sounds a bit too artsy-fartsy, we really only want to see some shots that depict how cool Louisville is. Go on. Just get out there. Get shutter-happy.

Then upload them by clicking HERE.

3. Wait for the royalty checks and celebrity dates to come rolling in.
In the meantime, and as inspiration, we’ve attached a few shots to this email for you to check out. If you want to see more (and there are already over 600), go to the Possibility City Flickr group and look at them all in their collective glory.

So how does this whole clickety-upload-intertube-thing work?
How do I upload my photos?
First, you need to have a Flickr account. It’s very simple. In fact, just CLICK HERE if you want to set one up.

If you’d rather not install Flickr’s tools, you can use their Web form to upload on the upload page. To use the form, look in the navigation menu at the top of the page under “You.”

What the heck is “tagging” and why do I care?
Make sure you add the tags “Louisville” and “Possibility City” to your photo. This helps people search for and find your images.

Tell me about file sizes and file types.
With a free account, you can upload photos up to 10MB in size. That’s plenty big, my friend.

Flickr officially supports JPEGs, non-animated GIFs, and PNGs. You can also upload TIFFs and some other file types, but they’ll automatically be converted to and stored in JPEG format.
