\"now<\/p>\n

well, I’ve gone ahead and done it now, haven’t I! Yes, yes I have actually!<\/p>\n

I’ve been contemplating this for a loooooong time now, and finally went ahead and not only uploaded my first photo to Flickr<\/a>, but also bought a Pro account. Honestly, I’ve been waiting – and waiting… and waiting – for Google to develop their Picasa Web Albums<\/a> but they just haven’t moved with it much (they’re more interested in installing ‘buy & print’ services than in searching and commenting). I love Picasa on my local machine, but I need something that others can access, browse, tag, comment, etc. – I WANT THIS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Plus, increasingly so, I want to move lots and lots and lots of my personal archives online. I take lots and lots and lots of photos. I estimate somewhere around 22,000 in the past 3 years 1 month (that’s how long I’ve had my Sony DSC-V1 – at the time I bought it, a 5MP camera was one of the best on the consumer non-SLR market). I want to put larger works online, but don’t necessarily want to host everything on my own server\/s. and Flickr is incredibly<\/strong> user-friendly! It all adds up!<\/p>\n

As with my Normal Space<\/a> projects, I plan on investing the exhibition functions, archive capabilities, and other limitations of alternative social spaces – Flickr is as good a place as any to start. (And they offer desktop software now which means it’s reallllllly easy to upload!)<\/p>\n

This is all probably really obvious to hordes of other users (as in the 2+ million users already posting on Flickr!) but as an artist it’s always important to question – to suspend<\/em> – these motives, and their applications. I’ve finally come to terms with them and hopefully in the coming months and years we can put these spaces to the test!<\/p>\n
