Flickr doesn't make it easy to move photos from one account to another. However, you could combine feeds from all three kids into one and set up email notification for her so she'd always be alert when there are new photos. Another option is to use this tool to copy all your photos into her account: http://www.callingshotgun.net/about/migratr/ ...but that won't KEEP her account updated with new photos from the Flickr accounts of the three kids.

We just got my mom a wireless picture frame for Christmas. We three kids have access to her Flickr and we just post the pictures in there for her. She wanted something like Flickr so she could print off a picture if she wanted. Is it possible to get your nifty Pipes thing to do the dumping for all of us into her Flickr account? Love the idea!

We may have to upgrade Grandma's frame and do some coordination with the non-geek siblings because Grandma can't figure out how to upload the new photos we email her.
