Follow us on Pinterest!
And finally, we invite you all to head on over to the official Flickr Pinterest account if you’d like to see more of our favorite Flickr photos. We’ve created a new Winter mood board along with one featuring some of last month’s Film Explore Takeover beauties. If you love creating boards and saving Flickr photos that inspire you, don’t forget to use our built in share modal. It comes with its very own share to Pinterest button, which makes building a board on Pinterest from Flickr a breeze.
That’s all for this month’s recap. Keep an eye on the Flickr blog for updates and more Flickr news as it’s announced. See you next month!
