Well, I got 3 months of FREE flickr pro because I shifted from the now defunct yahoo photos and so I decided to give it a super tough test run. I must say it really exceeds all my expectations. One thing I’m apprehensive about is compartmentalising my life’s journey into two places. I used to think I could keep it all on one hosting account but it seems like thats not going to be possible..

After my 320GB HDD crashed.. I realised I am doing recovery for all my photos and generally, other stuff that has sentimental value. My photos are about 20gb in total so I guess.. uploading htem to flickr seems to be the most sensible solution. At $35SGD a year, which is ultra cheap, I have a double solution. I get to backup my photos with unlimited space, and at the same time share it with everyone. Of course, there are really tons of photos I still keep private cos its just too unglam, or I dowan ppl to see la. But most of it is really open and I’m sure some of you would be quite interested.

Well, I’m still waiting on my HDD. If the recovery is successful, I’ll be $1300 poorer, and you’ll see all the photos up here in about a month after I painstakingly tag, rotate, and group them into collections and sets. I realise flickr is not really a good system to do things chronologically. So I might have to change teh way I store my photos.

One thing I am interested to do, is to tag every single photo with everybody inside it. Cool right? like.. search for yh then all my photos would come out (I wonder who would do that). And, when you search for a pretty girl like YX, her photos would all come out too. Well, I’ve been wondering if that makes it too easy for stalkers. hahaha.. And I’ll think about the usefulness of that once I totally redesign my site from the ground up. I’m not even going to use any existing theme.. Its going to be from scratch.

So without further ado, here is my flickr account. There are about 1500, only scratched the surface la.. I hope all my photos are recoverable. If they are, they are all going up! No more worries of losing my photos!
