Well thank you all. I was hoping there would be more Flickr members who wanted to share their photos. Thank you for posting Suzanne. The really weird thing is I went to your page and realized I had looked at it the other day and didn't know it was you! I remember looking at the photo of the fallen barn...just a day or two ago! I like how your photos tell stories. The barbershop and the store...I liked the pinup/jeep photo too (plus your chihuahua really is the cutest). Suzanne's right about the groups. If you take a photo of something there is a group of people with a photo pool about it. I like the tagging aspects of the site. It lets you and others search easily for photos with certain 'tags' you give the work. If I take a photo of a circus scene I might tag it with -circus, clowns, fun, tent, trapeze, popcorn, etc... Sheila, I use a really simple point and shoot, a Kodak C875. If you click on someone's photo it brings up the technical information on the bottom right under Additional Information. I don't use a special lens. I'd love to use a digital SLR with variable lenses but it's not in the budget right now. Essentially I shoot the heck out of something. Usually there's a few shots with good focus. Then it's just a question of cropping.

I just posted this by grabbing the html code on Flicker and copy and pasting it into the text. You get to it on flicker now by clicking on the finger pointing at the box. I had a lot of problems with flicker last week with their constant changing. They pushed me into the new (sucky) BETA EXPERIENCE. Pictures are bigger but the comment space and tittle space are much small and the way to get to the HTML /BBC code is much more convoluted and enigmatic. But I couldn't get to them at all because when I clicked on the cute finger pointing at he box thing, it brought up a box but it was hidden behind the photo. I could just see its edge. I did complain to flicker and they did fix it. It took a couple of days. Now I go to that box and it pulls up a window with some weird symbols that make no sense but through experimentation and deductive reasoning I realize that the symbols mean html and bbc. One is a tac and I can't remember the other already. They are not intuitive examples of graffics. Yesterday I woke up and I found myself back in the old Flicker. So they got that part of the complaint tooâ¦..Or maybe it was all a bad dream. I went to frequently asked questions on their help line and described my problem in a email form that they had, and they did get to it. I can't remember how I found the help line. I get lost on sites and sometimes I get lost right but I would not know how to get back there. All these changes to the worse is making me anxious and down right beeetchy. I was thinking of going to Flickriver. Apple is doing this dumbing down action too. They are screwing up all their software.

I just have this link, where you can make your photo into a romance novel cover. I will look for other sites. Here is a link that might be useful: Romance

How about imgur.com? I don't have any real experience with it but think it's pretty no-frills. I know you can even upload a photo without registering. Of course you'd want to register if you wanted control over your uploads. One I did use a very long time ago is imageshack.us. It might be another candidate?
