Can photography be a kind of therapy? flakphoto.news/p/learning-to-…
Do you write about art or culture? Drop me a line so I can follow your feed. Thank you! 👋🎨✨
In case you missed it (and if you’re still interested in thinking about eclipses), this is a fun post — a historical look at eclipse photography. Enjoy! flakphoto.news/p/the-path-of-…
Book folks: I'm giving away 2 copies of Gordon Parks' AMERICAN GOTHIC on @FlakPhoto next week. Watch my newsletter for details. Stay tuned! @SteidlVerlag
Thanks for the feature Andy ✨🌾🌅
Oh look it's Flickr's interestingness algorithm.
I'm having a blast writing my newsletter on Substack. If you're considering a newsletter platform, definitely think about this one. I love it. Thanks, Chris!

Photographers, I’m still looking for Spring Pictures, and I’d love to see your work. You can read more about my call for springtime photos here. Please RT flakphoto.news/p/springtime-i…
Another app I couldn't live without: I use @Pocket every day and have for years. It's handy, nimble, and endlessly useful. I love it! This is not a promoted post just a genuine endorsement. Check it out!
Are you into photography? Please introduce yourself in the comments of this post. The @FlakPhoto community is so much fun, and there are so many interesting folks in the mix. Thanks for being here! flakphoto.news/p/tell-me-abou…
@MikePepi This is hard to quantify, but there are many, many smart and funny people who just don't post here anymore. The overall experience for me is way worse than it used to be just due to that lack.
Today we're publishing a new report, "20 Years of Flickr: Archiving the Living Environment" by @ashleymaerie. It focusses on the value of Flickr, risks to its longevity, and suggested practices to adopt as we move forward with our mission. Thanks Ash! flickr.org/report-archivi…

You should never pay to email posts to your subscribers. "Free to publish" is important. "We only make money when you make money" is important. It's the guarantee that the platform serves you, not the other way round.
People used to paying hundreds or thousands of dollars a month just to send emails are often shocked when they come to Substack and find out that it's totally free to publish to any audience size, and that we make money when you make money. Let me explain why we do it that way.
Thanks for the feature Andy ✨🌾🌅
Can photography be a kind of therapy? flakphoto.news/p/learning-to-…
Oh look it's Flickr's interestingness algorithm.
The thing that keeps me going is when people figure out how to make a living, a company, or a fortune doing work they deeply believe in on Substack. And for people who don't charge yet and just get a great platform to publish for free? I'm proud of that too.
Thats why we charge a % fee of subscription, meaning that we win by helping you grow and by providing more value than we ask in return. In fact, you come out way ahead even after the fee because today the Substack network drives over 25% of paid subscriptions on the platform.
We never wanted to find ourselves in a world where people were paying Substack in the hopes of realizing this dream, but weren't making money themselves. That's not what we set out to do, and those folks wouldn't stick around anyway. So we set up our business to make that…
On Substack you own your work, have complete editorial freedom, and connect directly with your audience. But most importantly, you can make real money doing the work that you believe in.
The tools we build for text, video, audio and community are in service of a larger mission: making a new economic engine for culture. A new first class network on the internet that returns power to the people who use it.
People used to paying hundreds or thousands of dollars a month just to send emails are often shocked when they come to Substack and find out that it's totally free to publish to any audience size, and that we make money when you make money. Let me explain why we do it that way.

@FlakPhoto Burnt into my consciousness as a young photographer in Brisbane in the 1980s - where scenes like this seemed impossible! Even with the big brown Brisbane river snaking through lots of it's suburbs.
