Pulling the centroid photos

After taking photos and adding them to my Flickr page, I use this script to pull location information, title, and URL from my photos. From there, I create a .csv of the photo information. Then, using ArcGIS Online, I create a shapefile of the picture locations. Once added to the map, I pull the photos' locations using the URL atribute to present the photograph in the intereactive pop-up window.
