Since I got this new burst of interest in photography I’ve been hanging in flickr quite a lot. I think it’s great. Great that there is place for people to let their work out into the world to be seen without unbearable costs of exhibition in some gallery or publishing of a book or some other old times way. Which, after all, usually reached quite a small audience. And there seems to be lots of persons who really do interestin and inspiring things. (Of course, it must be noticed that flickr is just on of many platforms with quite similar possibilities.)

But very often I also get a kind of bloating feeling. Therre is so much of stuff!

I have collected my own photos into two sets. One is 30 images another now 42. And I think the later is even now a bit too big. I’ve analyzed my own behavior and noticed that when a set or gallery or whatever term we use grows much over 25 I tend to pick one or two images to closer look and then surf to somewhere else. Over 35 and I very seldom look through the set as a whole.

Don’t burst, don’t flood, be critical, be calm. Too much is not just right. My rules to myself.
