@samwilson Yes, it is that library! Thanks for linking it to the Wikidata item!

Taking a photo for Wikipedia sometimes means you have to go back to a place multiple times. I shot the Bayliss Carnegie Library for the first time last year. It was early in the season and the weather wasn't particularly pleasing. In cases like that, I wait for the next opportunity. Last Sunday morning, I drove to the library and saw that the flowers were blooming and the lawn looked fresh and green. The resulting shot shows the building in all its beauty! #wikipedia #california #libraries

The Museum of Northern #California Art is running an exhibit "Northern California on #Wikipedia", with photos taken by Frank Schulenburg aka @wikiphotographer (you should follow him!)

It's "believed to be the first-ever solo art museum exhibit of a Wikipedia photographer."

There's a good chance you've already seen Frank's work in major media outlets or even Air France's in-flight entertainment system!

It runs through May 14 in #Chico, CA.

@juhele Yes, absolutely. Flickr is a better place for photographers anyway

@southpark Dankeschön! Ich bin schon ganz gespannt! Am Freitagabend geht es los.

As an image creator for #Wikipedia, I find it extremely satisfying to be aware of the history of #photography. It helps me appreciate the art form better and learn from other photographers‘ techniques and styles. Studying the works of other photographers also inspires me to experiment with my own photography.

@maccruiskeen San Francisco, Sansome St. and Sutter St.

Wikipedia's coverage of different photography genres is uneven. Take contemporary street photography as an example. We've only got images from a handful of cities:

Now, there must be street photographers in other cities who are willing to share their work under a free license…

Here's my contribution from last night. Let's get this going!

An easy way of improving #Wikipedia as a photographer is to take pictures of current events in your local area. Here's an image of the flooding in a Butte County walnut orchard after some back-to-back atmospheric rivers hit California over the course of the past couple of weeks. I took this image this morning near the Sacramento River southwest of Chico and it's already up on Wikipedia…
