pedestrian diversion

An arch comment.

See my latest pictures on Flickr. I have reached my upload limit on Ipernity for this month.

Then why not give up on that other site and join Ipernity? So much better.

Not enough exposure.

New flickr has falsely elevated view counts, whilst visits to Ipernity often do not show up on the viewing figures at all, as the large-size option allows people to view photos quite adequately without clicking on.

Are you more interested in false glory than with displaying your pictures nicely?

'False glory' or not, Flickr has a larger user base than Ipernity, and regardless of any misleading view counts, they get more exposure there.

Photo sharing groups are the only audience my pictures have today. I no longer print them. My albums run continuously from 1983 to 2013, but are no longer worth maintaining, and they will all (together with my colour slides, 1963-87) be dumped in a skip when I go.

I thought you were planning to leave them in my airing-cupboard?

If the slides will help your washing to air, then you'll be welcome to have them.

Assuming you go first (which cannot be guaranteed), I would keep them for posterity, and will them to someone younger than myself to look after. But I would need a slide-viewer and means of converting them to digital.

Thanks, but apart from any sentimental value to me, they are worthless and of no interest to a young person. Those that were worth converting to digital have already been converted, and are on Flickr.

I no longer have either a slide projector or viewer.

They're not worthless. They're a record of a bygone age, and I'd make sure they were preserved.
