It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
- David Bailey
While I am emptying my camera, it is obvious that I am a real bad photographer. Such is life!
But I really appreciate Flickr, among other services allowing to share pics -- never tried to share video on Flickr.
From the site and via my mobile phone, for private and public photos, as part of my job or to share with friends and family.
I've just taken a look at my Flickr account and I am surprised to see that sometimes, it is visited even if it doesn't start great conversations!
My favorite picture is a missed one taken a couple of weeks ago during the Rouen Armada.
Mistakes are also sources of pretty pictures and I am a misunderstood genius: this picture has been viewed 7 times :)
Even if you aren't a great photographer, here are 3 ways to share and have fun on Flickr!
Be lucky -- is not easy

Viewed 197 times (around 100 the first 5 minutes)
And voila, usually my photo are viewed between 0 and 10 times, probably because I don't use tags and others Flickr's features as I should.
But I promise: when I made progress, I'll better promote my photos :-)
