#UnpopularOpinion

As I note #Flickr’s #Flickrs20thBirthday and that I’ve used it for all except the first 1½ of those years, I realize it’s still a marvelous place to manage my photos. Sure the price has increased over the years but has always seemed like such a bargain that the current price feels on the mark for the value I find in it. Very extensible and a full/useful API that allowed me to create a custom front end: photos.albj.net

Now, time to really kick up the iOS app capabilities.

Flickr, the photography site that I have been an avid user of since 2009, even though it’s been sort of overlooked and forgotten by most of the social media and photography universe, is going to celebrate it’s 20th birthday next month. The big day is a few days after my wife’s birthday, and a week-ish after my step son’s birthday, which is also my nephew’s birthday.

I guess Threads embeds still don’t work with wordpress.com. Hmmm…

This might work better… friggin’ zuckerberg…

Anyway, they have a bunch of things planned including some photowalks. I don’t see anything scheduled for Boston and even if they do schedule something it’s 99.9999% guaranteed that I would not join in, even from a social distance. Still… it would be nice, right? Granted, not nice enough for me to try to get something started. No way in hell would Mr Introvert do something crazy like that. No thank you.

Anyway, Flickr’s birthday is February 10th. Take some pictures to celebrate.
