Not because my photos are in anyway professional, but because of the wonderful things Flickr does. Flickr allows me to store and organise my photos. I can look at pictures by friends, acquaintances and all sorts of groups.
Most importantly Flickr curates and organises creative commons licensed and public domain photos. These are searchable and Flickr give access to them via an API that is useful and usable by non-professionals. I’ve had an amazing amount of fun and use (professionally as a teacher). To me Flickr is an important part of the web, I have a pro account to support that.
If you use Flickr and don’t have a pro account you can get 25% off with the code 25in2019 or use this link.
@johnjohnston me too though I’m struggling with auto upload these day’s since macOS app stopped working and iOS app can’t keep up / catch up. Need to look at again as I’ll always renew.
@johnjohnston So, you got the same email as me this morning!
@adamprocter it was a pity Apple removed the Flickr upload from photos. I just keep a folder on my desktop, export there and drag to browser. Then delete. Klunky but workable.
@johnjohnston yes indeed, that what I have been doing too but not often enough all original photos are on a Mac mini I rarely touch as it was all automated.
@adders yup. I do think Flickr is worth it. hope the new owners can keep it afloat.
Maybe I should
