I just want to say I like social networking service such as cyworld or flickr. I am a big fan of flickr since 2005 I remember. I love taking photos and actually I had no space to put my photos rather than putting them into my external hard disk or i-photo on my computer.

one of my images from my flickr (click the image then it goes to my flickr account directly)

After I use flickr I can store my photos in it and also I can share my photos with others who love photography. Also I can see others’ works and even I can join some groups that I am interested in such as I Shoot Film. I love new technologies and I use internet everyday but I don’t like digital camera. Well, I’ve got my DSLR and I know it is easy to import photos to computer and it is easy to shoot. I don’t have to worry about developing, film cost and etc. But I love film camera and I am using from 35mm to 120mm film cameras. Even though I am not a professional photographer and also I am not a photography student, I love photography as my hobby.
Anyway, so I shoot film all the time and I put them into my flickr account. I can see others photos and we can communicate with each other through making comments about ourselves’ photos.
Sometimes I get good comments and sometimes not. But I can say that I can improve my photography skill and even creativity for photography through flickr. THIS IS SO TRUE!
I can learn from some professional’s photography and I can even ask them some questions about the photography. Yes, they are not my lecturer or friends but we are ‘CONTACT’ in flickr world.

Also I’ve got very good opportunities from some websites and even ABC online news. My photo is used on ABC online news! and one of my photo was used for children’s book in UK as well. Some of my photos about Melbourne were also used for one of the travel websites in US. This is amazing and very interesting.
I didn’t approach to them but they sent email to ask me whether they can use my photos or not. Then I could get the amazing outcome such as ABC online news. Even though my photo is just small part of the report but where can I get the opportunity like this?

I love flickr and other social networking services because I can actually communicate with people from all different spaces and time. When I think about only good things of social networking service, I can totally say that I am a social networking service lover but I can see some bad points of social networking services.
I will talk about this later.
