I was doing some searching on Flickr around mapping memory/cartography stuff and came across some really cool images. It was cool to link some classroom discussions to some thoughts on my thesis. I never really thought of flickr as an image research tool, but its just as an important tool for images as Art21 or other art search engines for teachers as well as for artist. Consequently, I don't assume to say that this is new info, there are a lot of folks out there that already know this stuff!
I really dig these three photos of maps. They were found in a group called Memory Maps.
Flickr as an aid to thesis

nice images rayshawn. flickr is a great resource for stuff like this, and the variety and number of images is great. you can always find something approximating what you're looking for. i've played around with just entering various keywords as well as exploring other users favorites to connect to other images that might be useful/interesting. try it out.
I heard from teachers that they sometimes integrate Flickr to presentations and slideshows, like PechaKucha (http://www.pecha-kucha.org/). I've also used it in the past to get some design ideas for color and layout arrangements. It's a great resource tool for designers as well as art educators.
