In June, Cork was lucky enough to sample the delights of the Street Performance World Championships. This fella, unsurprisingly called The Piano Juggler, was one of the acts I really wanted to see having seen him perform on the final Late Late Show with Pat Kenny. He didn’t disappoint on the day; the act was thoroughly enjoyable in spite of the threat of rain which isn’t good for his piano apparently!
This was also the first time I used my Pix.ie account where you can see all the photos I took and all the best photos of all the Irish SPWC on Pix.ie by various photographers. Kudos to the strategy Pix.ie use to get photographers onto their site which allows you upload to a pre-defined group for the event. They seem to be doing this for other events which is very clever. And it’s quite a nice site too. So the problem now is, do I stick with Flickr or move onto Pix.ie?
What a question! Move to Pixie of course! 😉
[…] gets up close and personal with his balloon act at the recent SPWC festival in Cork. As with the Piano Juggler, I thoroughly enjoyed his show. Here’s hoping we get more great festivals like this in […]
I would be tempted to move but a bit of a conundrum when a few years worth of photos are on Flickr and I need to keep paying Flickr so that they can be viewed. Any transfer method to Pixie by any chance? With same urls so that I can change all the urls pointing to Flickr on my blogs in one go?
We are looking into an import from Flickr at the moment. Lots of people having been asking for it. Watch our blog for more info.
