fotki vs flickr

Which online photo sharing service do you prefer and why?

I’ve had a Fotki premium account for several years now and I’m very happy with it. I like that I can personalise it with different themes & colours, and comfortably organise my photos into easy-access folders and albums.

But then Flickr came along and, as far as I can tell, it’s become the Facebook of the photo sharing community. Meaning that to me it’s just ugly and confusing and extremely popular for reasons that escape me. Or maybe I’m missing something? I did try uploading a couple of albums to Flickr awhile ago and was then told that only the first 200 photos would be shown (wtf?).

Both Fotki and Flickr offer free accounts with a 100 MB space limit and advertising, as well as premium accounts with unlimited space and other features. Given these similarities, why is Flickr so popular? I mean, Fotki is waaay classier.

Today’s Photohunter theme is “tied”.

Since I don’t tie up my cats (though I sometimes have to bundle them in a towel to give them oral meds) my thoughts naturally moved on to tied-up food. Last winter I started making roasted chickens on a regular basis – wonderful comfort food. This was the first one.

You can see the untied version below …

Today’s Photohunter theme is … whatever we want!

A couple of weeks ago I made up a travel scrabble game showing the names of some of the places I have visited or lived. And today I thought I would show you some of them. I’ve had travelling on my mind quite a lot lately and am hoping to go to either London or Marrakesh. In this collage (click to enlarge) you can see…

  • Asilah
  • Gibraltar (as seen from San Roque)
  • Barcelona
  • Córdoba
  • Zahara de los Atunes
  • Tangier
  • Lisbon
  • Jerez
  • Málaga
  • Bolonia
  • Cádiz

You can see more of my travel pics over on my Fotki page.

Above you can see my two favourite “loll cats” (geddit?) slothing for Spain. And below, just check out the precision of their synchronized snoozing! Olympics here we come…
