flickring images

At my previous employer I used google images a lot. It was a good place to quickly grab product images. Though it was never perfect. Google’s indexing grabs images from everywhere, which is nice but also not nice when you are looking for quality.

Thank God for my wife, she suggested I use flickr recently. It isn’t as though I didn’t know about the site. Everyone has a flickr account, you can upload your images to share with all your friends. I even had seen it used by artists. But for some reason, probably out of habit, I never thought of using it a resource for searching for certain types of images.

I have been trying to put an image in with every post, over on FUMCclass.com. I have quickly learned the power of using flickr instead of google for this type of work. What is most satisfying is the use of the creative commons licensing on flickr. I like to see that people are sharing images openly.

One day, when I get the time and energy I will love to start uploading a lot of my photography which just sits on my hard drive not being used.
