Jean Burgess (Queensland University of Technology, Australia)' work on vernacular creativity and Flickr. Look at CreativityMachine http://creativitymachine.net/ for some of her work, including a significant part of her dissertation project that focused on Flickr. Mor Naaman studies it. A list of his publications in which you can find a few about Flickr is avaleble at: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~mor/research.html Liza Potts <odu.edu> conducted research on Flickr.
