Do you have a flickr gallery??

I have a Flickr account - under the name mongrelnomad (link below).

My relationship with it is kinda love-hate. I've found some amazing photographers that post there, but 99% is just tat. Because there are so many people, it is an invaluable research tool (wanna know how a certain film is pushed? Want to see what a given lense can produce?), but you also tend to get completely lost. Also, most of the groups tend to be dumping grounds for images, either that or ridiculous "write a comment on mine and I'll do the same for yours" which produces such enlightening criticism and comment as "Wow. So great!" Sheesh. The worthwhile groups tend to have very harsh inclusion standards - me, bitter? Never!

That being said, it can be quite addictive. So if anyone wants to give me a little constructive criticism (or adoration), I wouldn't say no ;-)

Yes in my sig. I have put in most of you as a contact, however the ones who use different names here will be hard to recognise for me as a contact.
In the past I used pbase, but as said by others, it is not worth the effort, one can not communicate and uploading is awfull.
I use flckr also to have contacts about gear and selling some stuff.
 
I rather like Flickr - you get a much larger audience for your photos than you would normally expect if you simply had your own website, for much less work. To be honest, though, as I only really take photos for my own viewing pleasure I mainly use it as a research tool - what sort of photos work, what locations there are near me to shoot, discussions etc. I'm never too proud to say that I don't need a little help improving my photos.
