Provided an updated patch. The description about this patch can be found here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iilj8_xapqJZlRWYKatBqbIpwRBjXSuhGXWshLYcsNg/edit>. This achieves Flickr Integration. As suggested by Luciano, UI will be designed according to Prabhath's new design.
It should also be noted that since Flickr's Old Auth method is being deprecated, I have made the authentication using OAuth 1.0 which is the new standard at Flickr.
