Through their blog, Flickr has announced a new feature they’re simply calling “galleries.” Using Flickr’s galleries option, anyone can assemble a gallery of up to eighteen images. You can arrange galleries around a theme or idea and add your own commentary about the collection. Galleries can be made from images you’ve uploaded to Flickr or you can use public images found on Flickr.

Applications for Education
Flickr’s new galleries option could be used by photography students to create galleries of their work with an explanation of the theme they were trying to capture in their images.
