Off Topic Flickr 101: viewing private pics even if not Friends and Family

If you're looking for nudes on Flickr, you're not there for some random dude's poorly organized collection of random porn. You're probably not there for some photographer's curated portfolio of tasteful artistic nudes, either. You're looking for nudes of real women, taken by their husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. The thing is, a lot of the best pics are private, meaning you can't see them unless that user accepts you as a Friend or Family contact. Unless you have pics of your own lady to share, they're not going to accept you. For this exercise, you will need a signed-in Flickr account, and make sure Viewing Restricted photos (that is, nudes) is enabled. Here's an example: D0n and C0c0, a couple at 1449@N07/ (copy the URL and remove the 2 spaces). The wife is pretty cute, but about the most you'll see of her is this: Now, I could ask them to be Friends or Family, but they would check out my photostream to see what I have. Since I have no pics of my own, they'll probably decline. (I would if I were them.) If I had only porn pics from the web, or stolen from other accounts, they'd probably block me, because I'm a lurking pic thief. So I won't ask them for F&F. I won't even add them as a contact. It doesn't help, and all it does is get their attention. So, without F&F, I can't see any private pics like this. You might be thinking, "you just you can't see those pics, what the fuck". But there is a way. It doesn't work all the time, but it does work a lot of the time. Here's the key: Flickr says this is not a bug; so it's a loophole that will stay up. Here's how to work with it. Go to their profile and see the groups they've joined. Those are the best bets for finding more pics. (You can also see which groups their other pics have been added to.) For now, go to "Asian Dreams" at and join the group. Click on "Photos" and then you'll see a "Contributors" dropdown near the upper right. This lets you pick one of the top 5 users (most pics in the group) and see group pics from only that user. If you select "ladysun84", this brings you to -- the URL to show pics in the group (688974@N21) for ladysun84's user ID (186203008@N06). Even though D0n and C0c0 is not one of the choices in the Contributors dropdown, you can edit the URL to show groups pics from only their user ID: kr.com/groups/688974@N21/pool/3909 1449@N07 (again, paste in the URL and remove spaces). Right now, there's about 16 pics that you couldn't see before. Try this with other groups they've joined and you'll find even more pics. This doesn't work for every user: sometimes they haven't joined any groups, or added their pics to any groups. Then it's kind of a dead end. Or, sometimes there are pics, but it's disappointing. When it does work, though, it's pretty cool. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
