Our member gallery is in the form of a Flickr group, called 2PeasRefugees Gallery. You can always find a link (called Gallery) in the top menu bar here, which will open the group page in a new tab.
To add photos to the gallery, you will need to have a Flickr account. Accounts are free, and come with 1TB of storage. To create an account, click here.
Once you have an account, you need to join the group. There are two ways to do that:
1 (the easiest way!)

Once you have sent your request, please be patient if you are not added/invited immediately. It will be done ASAP but the admins may not be online at the same time as you so you may have to wait up to 24 hours.

You can add existing photos from your Flickr account to the group, or upload new photos to add.

To upload a new photo or photos to the group:
There is currently a limit of 25 photos per person per day, so that the group doesn't get overwhelmed by a small number of posters. If this proves unnecessary it may be removed or increased at a later date.
