It took me for forever, but I finally uploaded something to Flickr. I don’t think that I had anything against the site itself but more against those who used it as their portfolio image storage. That hasn’t changed, but I’ve definitely found myself on the site more and more.

I’ll admit that I’m partially getting involved w/ the Flickr community in order to gain some traffic to my portfolio and blog site, but to also gain some exposure for my images. The audience is much broader on Flickr so that shouldn’t be too hard. In fact it took less than 24 hours for someone to favorite one of the 8 or so images that I uploaded. Pretty cool.

Something that helped ease my hard heart was a simple shift in thinking. Many people are using it to share their lives on another level. To me it’s another look into people’s day to day existence similar to blogs, and especially Twitter. I’m not sure when I decided it was a good idea to share myself, but here I am.
