Ron Parsons images on Flickr

Many of you may be familiar with the wonderful orchid images of Ron Parsons. He has been co-author on several orchid books including the fabulous two volume A Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species.

For many years he was posting his images on Picasa which didn't show up in search engines. He is slowly transferring his images to his page on Flickr. He started with his many trips to photograph orchids and other plants. Even before starting on his orchid images he has 37,000 photos on Flickr. He recently started uploading albums of orchids and expects to double the total number. As of today, he has uploaded Acampe through Anoectochilus.

Take a look. This is an incredible resource.

 

I wanted to ask if any of you have had trouble viewing Ron's albums. I have had issues. I have always been able to view the albums uploaded when I first posted this thread. The last album at that time was Anectochilus. He has since uploaded more albums. With my default settings and as a "non-follower", I was unable to view any of the newer uploads. As of today Barkeria uniflora is the newest. Once I "followed" him, I was able to see all of the albums, but everything after Anectochilus was greyed out (1st image). When I clicked on an album I got the "Adult Content" warning (2nd image). If choose to change my personal settings to show it all, I can see all of his albums.

His settings are on Safe. Has anyone had this problem? Is there some setting in his account that would flag some of his images as adult? And why only the newer albums? Is it normal to have limited access to people you don't follow? Both he and I have stumbled around in flickr and can't seem to find what the problem is. Any comments on problems or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for taking the time to comment. He and I have been trying to figure out if there is some setting in his account that makes it adult. They are just flowers.

If anyone understands what the problem might be, please speak up.

 

Thank you Dana and Naoki for you input. He has looked at his Safety settings, but I don' think he has tried the "batch" yet. I don't understand why I can see the earlier posts but not the later ones. Flickr doesn't seem to be reading his later posts as safe since I can only see them if I acknowledge that I am over 18 and take responsibility for myself. Even with the moderate setting I can't see them. We'll keep working on it.

 

Naoki, thank you very much!!!!

 

Again, a big thank you to Naoki and Dana for help solving this problem.

Dana, when you have a chance, take a look. You should be able to see them all once he finishes updating the setting. He is working on the albums that had "restricted" using the batch method you suggested. He is very relieved that he doesn't have to do the images one by one.
