Photos of Events
March 26, 2007
You can track down photos of your favorite running events in Flickr, the user-driven free online photo organizing resource. Users post their photos and tag them with categories. Search some logical category names and you're likely to stumble upon photos of your favorite events. I recommend using PDX instead of Portland to ensure you're not getting photos of those East Coasters. Flickr users tend to tag images as PDX.
I did this quick search and got tons of great pictures of the Marathon. You never know what you're going to get, but it's a fun way to share images of the event with friends, even if you didn't take any pictures yourself. Best of all, it's totally free.
Over in the bike world, Portland Flickr users are swapping tag titles, trying to get people to use a standard set of tags so that their images are universally searchable. It's a great idea and it is resulting in huge photo banks - from just regular people who are out there taking often great photos.
