I can only really speak for myself here but recently I have been beginning to re-think my love affair with Facebook. The problem for me is that Facebook doesn't really care about my photography, it's just a huge blotter sucking up images like ink never to be seen again after a day or two. And it's not just me, it does the exact same thing to countless of other photographers. Even the very best of my photos drift into obscurity within a few days unless a Facebook Memory pops up in a year or two and I share it. I have to ask myself, am I so engrossed with likes as to not think it's important to do more with my images? is it really enough just to have five minutes of fame?

I've know Stuart Chapman for about 4 years now and his sheer enthusiasm for photography never ceases to amaze me. This image is just one reason why I love his work

I am amazed that many photographers still don't know about Flickr or perhaps they simply don't want to use it. For me, it's a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration plus of course, a place to find and share some great photos. It's also a place to share my photos and because it integrates so perfectly with Pixtures, it's how we prefer to pull content from our members in order to populate their photo portfolios. It's also free for the first 1000 images so another good reason to use it it to store your best or most interesting images. Even the Pro version is relatively inexpensive, currently just £4.66/m on the annual plan with unlimited storage and loads of freebies and low cost offers.
