Remember when Flickr was a thing? Me neither. Its been a minute after all. But seriously, back when I was active on that early social media site, going on twenty years ago now, I was a member of any number of "wall photography" groups. And, people were engaged, and supportive. Art for art's sake, baby. I still remember the day a moderator invited me to submit one of my photographs to the "Motherwell" wall sub-group. You guessed it, wall shots that looked like Motherwell paintings. If I had persisted, perhaps I could have become Flickr famous. What I realize in retrospect was that I was getting my eye in, practicing my craft. With a dash of fun.
