It looks like our New York event will be scheduled for early August. Given that we have more time on the back end, we've extended the submission period for The Blink of an Eye until July 5th.
If you haven't jumped into the pool, you're missing some fabulous photos, like the one above from mayize (George has nixed my pooch posting, but she hasn't come down on bunnies yet!)
ONE is the campaign to make poverty history.
ONE believes in the best American tradition of helping other help themselves.
ONE believes it is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty.
ONE believes in fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruptions and directing additional resources for basic needs - education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans.
ONE person. ONE face. ONE voice. ONE vote at a time. ONE better, safer world for all.
You are ONE.
The Flickr Team is very pleased to support ONE.org by powering "Who is ONE". You too can show your support for ONE by adding your photo to the Faces of ONE Group.

The San Francisco Chronicle has added a new feature to their 96 Hours section published each Thursday, Flickr Pickr:
"...we'll feature some Flickr work that catches our eye. The preference will be for Bay Area photographers, and/or work that has a Bay Area theme, but we won't be overly dogmatic about that. Want us to check out your pictures? Tag them SF Chronicle 96 Hours."
