Flickr’s Grand Entrance into the World of Art

Congratulations to Flickr for breaking into the world of art.

Despite the traditional slower in-take of technology of the art world, Flickr has successfully entered into some very interesting, mainstream projects, including The Grand Tour and How We Are: Photographing Britain.

It’s one thing to see my favourite photo sharing web site getting more popular by the day; it’s another to see the sense of community fading due to people’s disrespect for the rules. It’s a fine idea to share your family photos with friends and family on Flickr, but it really annoys me when people ignore the rules and post random photos in irrelevant groups. For example, why would anyone want to know about your pet in a travel group?

I will stop moaning now.
