There are so many, many interesting, artistic pictures on Flickr! Photographic talent abounds on this website! It's an extremely easy site to navigate, but it offers so many options that it could take a while to explore all of them and learn how they all work.
I started my exploration of the site by clicking on the travel tag and looking there for awhile. Then I got sidetracked by doing a location search for geotagged pictures of the Columbia River Gorge. After that, I checked out a few groups, and the oxymoron "Lovey Eyesores" caught my eye. I had to browse that category to see how an eyesore could be lovely, and I discovered a photo with a juxtaposition of elements which appeals to me. Unfortunately, after spending a considerable and frustrating amount of time trying to figure out how to upload it, I discovered that the photographer had disabled downloading of their photo. After browsing flicker for another considerable amount of time I finally found a travel photo that I could LEGALLY post and figured out how to do it. The photo showed up as goobledegoop in the edit tab and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. I finally realized that I had to be on the compose tab for the actual photo to show up. The photo above is just a picture that I thought was pretty. It was taken by leeyu_flickr. The link to the photo is http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4092/5021314721_50614fcef7_z_d.jpg
I can see how using this site would be useful; however, this entire exercise has been a time-consuming and extremely frustrating ordeal for me.
