I use Flickr to share photos of stuff I've done and things I see. Occasionally my images cross the line and become what I consider actual Art (YMMV).
Most of my images are Creative Commons licensed. I'm a believer. You don't have to ask my permission for acceptable use, but I like being told about it. For any use that somehow involves somebody paying somebody for something, you must contact me for permission.
I appreciate comments of almost any kind, but NOT:
• anything with sparkly GIFs in it.
• links to your own page just for the sake of self-promotion.
Spare yourself the seconds it takes to post these, and spare me the seconds it takes to delete them.
Note, however: I actually kinda like it if you include a thumbnail/link to your own photo if it's relevant to the conversation.
I am also pretty active in groups. I enjoy participating in groups with similar, sometimes half-baked, ideas of what makes for worthwhile subject matter. I am currently and formerly in some very old, large, and well-known groups, and some downright tiny and obscure ones.
Some of the groups I've created:
I am an administrator, co-admin, or moderator for dozens more, including some of the most venerable groups on Flickr:
In Numerical Order 2 and INO 3 and INO 4 and ... so far we're up to INO 13!

Testimonials
Beautiful shots. I'm enthusiast. You make very good professional photos. LG. Ingrid!
As far as testimonials go, Tom is way underappreciated. Tom is such a good guy, helpful/knowledgeable Flickrite and excellent group admin colleague that I am predicting - right here and now - that my very writing of this testimonial will "loosen the jar" as they say, and the floodgates will open.

As far as testimonials go, Tom is way underappreciated. Tom is such a good guy, helpful/knowledgeable Flickrite and excellent group admin colleague that I am predicting - right here and now - that my very writing of this testimonial will "loosen the jar" as they say, and the floodgates will open. Flickr's testimonials feature will undergo such extreme strain from the abundance of testimonials written for Tom that Flickr's main servers will crash, causing Tom additional work in the Help Forum to alleviate nervous Flickr users' fears of Flickr shutting down. Get ready, Tom.
