Browse photos taken by yourself or a Flickr contact:
Unfortunately, the
Apple TV doesn't support logging in to your Flickr account, so you can't auto-
matically see your friends' photos. You must enter contacts manually; to do so,
select Add Flickr Contact and enter a username. That account is added to the
Flickr Contacts list, located in the main Flickr screen (
Figure 81
). Select a con-
tact from the main menu to view that person's albums and contacts.
Figure 81:
In the Flickr app, you can add Flickr accounts and search for
photos. In this figure, you can see that I've added my own Flickr account
so that I can view my own photos.

Search for photos:
Select Search to hunt for pictures of a specific thing. For
instance, search for
flower
to bring up a grid of flower pictures.
Warning!
Be careful with Flickr searches while others are in the room. Flickr has a
number of
risqué
images. In theory, they should be flagged as such and not pop up
unexpectedly, but it can happen.
