I arrived to Flickr almost by chance. It was summer 2006 and a friend told me to take part in the Strobistbootcamp by David Hobby. For starters I found its Graphic User Interface very unfriendly. As I have used other photogalleries in the past (pbase, etc...), I decided to use it only for that experience and forget it.
The Strobistbootcamp was a very challenging experience. Since then I'm addicted to DH blog, I check it daily to find advice and inspiration... But my relationship with Flickr did not followed the same way!
Later I have readen this interesting "essay" by Petteri Sulonen: Why Flickr Is Better (For You)
I have readen most of Petteri's "pontifications" and I agree with a lot of them... But his oppinions on that point did not convice me... At this time.
But one day I became bored with the "social dynamics" that grew in the photography forums and photogalleries and I decided to give Flickr a second chance.
And I became addicted.
As Petteri says in his essay Flickr "adds up to a social dynamic that encourages creativity and individuality rather than conformity and uniformity."
If you haven't tried it yet... Give it a chance, it's free ;-)

It is addicting for sure! I love to see the diversity of people's work. Some is so professional but I tend to like the spontaneous pictures the best.
