Washington Post Magazine's Photo Editor Keith Jenkins is an avid blogger and user of the community photo sharing website Flickr. After seeing lots of good photography produced by D.C. photobloggers and members of the D.C. area Flickr group, he decided to create a feature in the magazine highlighting some of the online community's best work.

Good morning, Washington. We start with this photo on Flickr of L Street posted by Burnt Pixel, aka Keith Jenkins, the photo editor of The Washington Post Magazine. From the streetscape, we think that it was taken outside the Post's main office. Speaking of the Post, congrats to Steve Coll, who was the only person from the news organization to score a Pulitzer yesterday. As FishbowlDC puts it, the Post "got shut out" although Coll's book "got a nod" for best general nonfiction for "Ghost Wars." Although those in the newsroom may be peeved over the lack of wins this year, a Pulitzer is a Pulitzer, and congratulations are due to Mr. Coll.

Although D.C. has a growing group of dedicated photobloggers (see our list on the bottom left) there are many photographers who would like to share their photos online but who don't have the technical skills -- or the time -- to run a full time photoblog. For them there is the Washington DC/Metro Area photo sharing group on the popular photography website Flickr. Flickr can best be described as a super-charged Friendster (or TheFacebook) for photos, where users upload their photos to share with friends, browse photos by topic, and create or join thematic groups. Rumors have been flying lately about the site being purchased, perhaps by online titans Yahoo or Google.
