I realized today that I don’t spend enough time on Flickr. If you’re not familiar with it, try it today. It’s a wonderful free resource. You can upload picture files, invite comments and share your pictorial heritage. If you want unlimited uploads and storage, user statistics and more then upload to a Pro account. It’s only $24.95 a year.
So who’s on Flickr? Lots of folks including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian. Smaller public libraries and archives also use Flickr to showcase the images in their collection.
