Steve Minutillo :: messy-78messy things

I’ve started posting pictures from our trip to flickr. I’m still getting used to their system, so they way I’ve arranged the photos might change. For now I’ve created one set, China – Day 1 – Beijing arrival.

If you’ve never heard of flickr before, it’s yet another online photo posting/sharing thing. Those sites are a dime a dozen, right? Flickr is different. I think it does for photos what Gmail did for email. They have a reasonably useful free service, and a practically unlimited “pro” service, which I signed up for after messing around for just a few minutes. I’ve been listening to the little kids on the internet rave about flickr for a long time now, and it turns out they were right!

The one problem is that you can’t order prints, but they’re working on that. But they aren’t greedy with the photos like some of those other sites. Want to print one of my photos? You can just download the full resolution originals and print away! Try that with Ofoto. They are also super geeky, with an open API and tons of other options. You can even associate a license with all your pictures. I’ve chosen this one.
