Images online: What is out there??

It is likely that while you are on the Internet and looking around you will find a photo of yourself or someone you know.  This photo is likely not put up by you or that person, this is because there are a lot of photo's online and many different organisations and groups now post online. They also have put up old photos and  archive materials online for easy of access.

Now that people have digital camera's, it is easier to put their photo's online as they are already on the computer.  There is also a growing trend for people to storing their digital photos in their own 'photo libraries' on the web so they can have access anywhere they want and to share their photos. This can be also linked to be part of people's social networking pages (facebook and LJ) or their own web page that they have created.  Some of the Photos can be on things that you think are fun, different or stranger as teh photo below.

It is getting easier and easier to to get photos online so don't be to suprised when you are surfing the web you come across a picture of yourself.  A picture that may be one you don't expect to see or in some cases what to see.  Your library could put up photos of what the library looks like so people can see before they go or if it is the outside recognise what they are look for when going to the library for the first time.
