I don't know anything about Facebook, not being interested in all the triviality that goes with it, but Peter Turnley uses the network to great effect, and posts not only superb photographs but very wise and thoughtful comments too, full of feeling. It's never off my visiting list. He's not only a marvellous photographer but a civilised man of great sensibility as well.

I'm not sure if I am allowed to put a link to it here but just google 😛eter Turnley facebook: and you'll get to it.

Anthony, I just took your advice and am glad that I did. Not only a beautiful antidote to the cynical and weary view of FB being soley a place for inane comments on someones latest meal or photos of drunken friends but also a reminder that some of us (me, certainly) may need to work a little harder to keep their hearts and head open.

As I sit in a rain drenched town feeling damp in every way this has helped.

So thank you for that.

Thank you Anthony for the pointer to Peter Turnley's wonderful work, so well presented on Facebook. He has many photos there that I have not seen before, and they all impress me greatly.

O.M.I.T. - yes, a wonderful antidote indeed. Something with real meaning, that we should all aspire to. And when I look at Peter's work, so freely shared (and he's obviously not worried about people downloading and saving copies of the photos he shows there) I have to wonder about my own meagre efforts. I would have to be very petty and small-minded to think that I should worry about my own photos being "stolen".

ps. Chris that's a pretty amazing dark room you have set up !

Thanks Mike - my quiet place to escape to (and it warms up quickly in the middle of Canberra's cold winter).

I decided to delete my Facebook account. At first, it was interesting and others found it a way to, I guess, socialize on the internet. Then, after a year or so, it became less and less a place for me to visit. Then there is the snooping aspect of it that I didn't like. I suppose it could go on here. My wife, daughter and her family don't use Facebook. My son and his wife do but he said he doesn't frequent the place much anymore. We're all pretty busy w/o Facebook and a person can spend a lot of time on Facebook. Time is a precious resource!

My recommendation, try it out. See if it's a place you want to participate. For me I'd rather spend my time on other places.

Have you tried Picasa to put your photographs?

http://picasa.google.com/

Or a blog?

Some of the sites are more easily used by tablet computers and smart phones. Just a thought if you want more exposure with your photography.
