… categorize my posts. I will do that soon enough.
There is a lot of focus these days on Yahoo’s Flickr photo sharing service. I have my reservations about them however, and it is not due to the fact that I support the family owned and operated Smugmug.com (which I still think as a photographer, is much better than the rest). I love the fact that the world has embraced photography and the idea of photography is that much more accessible to nearly everyone. My reservation is the fact that Flickr combined with the revolutionary effect of digital cameras, there is an over-excess amount of photographs floating around.
Perhaps it is because I view photographs in a very “holy grail” kind of way, but on the other hand, there are some things that do not need to be photographed, while others need a little more contemplation than “off the top of the head” perspectives. I am not criticizing or implying that all those who use Flickr perpetuate this act, however photoblogs and photo sharing communities are inadvertantly creating that effect and state of mind. I am all about freedom of expression, however as with all freedoms … there is almost always a need for moderation.
