Annotated travel photos [Dec. 31st, 2010|05:00 pm]
Hi All!

Welcome to my LiveJournal. I'll post here annotated photos from around the world.

What do I mean by saying "annotated photos"? Well, have you ever wanted to give some cultural or historical background or just other interesting information hidden behind the photo? I have. It's not so interesting for me just to shot, say, a statue. I want to know who is that and what's the story about this person. And I guess it can be also interesting for you...

All the pictures you see, I annotated and uploaded to LiveJournal by using a tool, called FotoTagger. This is an image annotation tool. It allows me to easily add comments to any little thing on a photo and even link it to somewhere in the web. It is free, easy, and cool. You can download it from here.
