NCOGA Photo Gallery (click on this)
We created a brand new Yahoo Flickr account and corresponding Flickr Group to better manage the images contributed to this project.

Flickr is a great online photography community that allows people to do all sorts of things with their images including tagging/labeling the images with keywords like Ghana or Kwahu to allow everyone else a better chance at finding what they’re looking for. It is even possible to locate on an online map, the exact place on earth that a specific image was photographed (depending on the type of camera!).
We encourage everyone who has pictures to share to create their own Flickr account (it is free!) and upload their images. It is very important that you add the keyword description tags to the images so that everyone who uses Flickr (including us!) can find the specific images we’re looking for. In our case, it is important the every image include the following tags: “ncoga.org” ncoga ghana NYC “new york” africa community 2008
Of course, you add the additional tags relevant to the picture. Once your pictures are tagged, you can join the NCOGA Flickr group, and then add the images you want to share to the group’s pool of pictures where they are made available to everyone in the group.
Of course, you can just ask the NCOGA web development team to do all of this for you under their own Flickr account.
