My Friend Flickr (well, Photobucket...)

Well, must admit this is nothing new to me. I've uploaded well over 1000 photos (my main Photobucket account says currently 999 photos in the collection, but it's not my only one) since first discovering photo sharing sites several years ago. I found out about them totally by accident, when I was enjoying the first real blossoming of my internet experience beyond simple email and using search engines. In the course of discovering message boards and such, other helpful members explained just how easy it was to post photos to the internet.

And indeed, it was! As an enthusiastic photographer and now diehard internet addict (all in the support and celebration of my favorite Greek Idol, CM, whose name rhymes with Donstantine Faroulis :) ) I found this was an amazingly easy way for me to share my photographs with fans and followers all over the globe. In trying out Flickr for the very first time in the course of this exercise, I see how the tagging and comment options could serve to create little communities all on their own. But I think I'll stay with Photobucket. It works for me. And all my other 999 pictures are there already.

In the meantime, enjoy a fave photo I took when I saw Con in Virginia on tour this past February. :)
