Flickr is a great image hosting site. http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com/2006/08/5-discover-flickr.html It contains an easy way to store, sort, edit (photoshop type thing), send, and manipulate images. For library applications, think about students sharing images on certain research topics or components in the school. For librarians, there is a really fun part that is called "Librarian trading cards." Librarians can create their own trading cards that include photos/images, plus facts about the librarian and/or his/her library. Librarians in trading cards?! It puts us right up there with sports stars and super heros! Check it out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/librariantradingcard/clusters/ I haven't completed one yet because I am still getting used to the idea of trading part of myself with strangers, but it is a fun idea.
Another fun idea is the Montager. It reminds me of something my daughter would get into. She is always creating art out of unlikely objects and images. It allows the user to create montages out of a collection of photos in the database. The user can search for the correct images by using color, image, or density as the requirement. The link shows a great example: http://www.deviousgelatin.com/montager/image.php
