A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is Flickr Still Useful? (alien.top)

I would like to post photos on a site that is accessible to others but that is A) somewhat respectful of personal information (i.e. nothing owned by Facebook); and B) is not too silly looking (Imgur). Is there any good option, or is Flickr still worthwhile? I don't mind if the site charges a reasonable fee. Thank you.

I love Flickr, it just does what other sites don't do, allows me to share my photos in a way that makes sense to me. I think people using it as file space for all their photos rather than carefully curated content contributed to its initial downfall, and I was completely annoyed by Yahoo forcing me to have a Yahoo account. When it was bought by Verizon I pulled all my content and deleted my account. I've come back to it since it was purchased by the SmugMug people and am considering paying for a pro account but am managing with a free one at the moment.
