Flickr, mashups & Cooliris

I love Flickr and use it mainly to search for favorite artist drawings and paintings. I tried the montagr in Flicker to make a montage of Otto Dix's portrait of Anita Berber of 1925. It turned out pretty cool but one problem with the montagr is that it pulls pictures with tags that are actually not very related. When I tried to use the tag "Otto Dix German Painter" to help narrow the feild, montagr said there were no images related to that tag although Flickr actually has a bunch. A bit disappointing. I decided to try a new picture application called Cooliris. It's a unique application that allows 3D display of pictures on your computer, facebook, etc. Check it out at http://www.cooliris.com/ and it's free to download. Also check out my favorite artist, Otto Dix, and some related pictures on Flickr using the Cooliris application at http://www.cooliris.com/tab/#url=jsfeed%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fsearch%2F%3Fq%3Dotto%2520dix%2520german%2520painter%26w%3Dall
