Flickr, the photography site that I have been an avid user of since 2009, even though it’s been sort of overlooked and forgotten by most of the social media and photography universe, is going to celebrate it’s 20th birthday next month. The big day is a few days after my wife’s birthday, and a week-ish after my step son’s birthday, which is also my nephew’s birthday.

I guess Threads embeds still don’t work with wordpress.com. Hmmm…
This might work better… friggin’ zuckerberg…
Anyway, they have a bunch of things planned including some photowalks. I don’t see anything scheduled for Boston and even if they do schedule something it’s 99.9999% guaranteed that I would not join in, even from a social distance. Still… it would be nice, right? Granted, not nice enough for me to try to get something started. No way in hell would Mr Introvert do something crazy like that. No thank you.
Anyway, Flickr’s birthday is February 10th. Take some pictures to celebrate.
Inside the Red Head's Head 
I got on Flickr back in ’05 or so, before Yahoo bought it, and loved the platform. I was a pro user, but once Yahoo purchased it, they just kept doing stupid things that made me hate it. They started with the eternal scroll – it was 2012, I think, and while that may have been fine in San Francisco, living up in northern Idaho, it was far from ideal. They also completely changed their pro structure to where they scrapped the $25 pro level and made it $200 yearly to be a pro user, and here I was with hundreds of photos over several years posted there. I think they eventually backed off of that, but I don’t think I’ve logged in since then, which is sad, because I really had a good time with it. Maybe someday I’ll check it out again.
