Help! I’m addicted to Flikr and I can’t stop. I find myself checking on it several times a day. Have people been looking at my stuff? Are my new shots anyone’s favorites? Hours will go by as I link from one person’s images to another. The amount of photographs is staggering. Out of curiosity I searched for groups that have the word “sunset” in their description or title. The result was over 62,000 groups each with thousands of images. I’m thrilled that people all over the world are looking at my work and I get to see theirs. The new developments in photo, whatever they may be, are going to happen in relation to the internet. I submitted to a call for entries done entirely on Flikr. Ironically it was an exhibition showcasing artists working with light sensitive material (not digital). The long term effects of The Web on photo will certainly merit further thought.
