The Rewards of Social Media Sharing

Barry Tanenbaum
Success Story

FOR A LONG TIME, the photographs Susan Ford Collins posted to Flickr were taken with her DSLRs. Her favorite subjects were flowers; travel photos, people, landscapes, and various large and small wildlife filled out the photostream and the albums.

When she got her first iPhone, Collins says she thought “maybe there was a possibility” she would use it for photography when she traveled. As it turned out, it didn’t take long for her to overcome the hesitancy of “maybe” and “possibility.”

“I used it much more than I ever expected,” she reports. She â€‹began posting the phone photos to Flickr, and after a while she found they were as well accepted as her DSLR images. “All of a sudden I started getting a lot of explores, and I realized, Hey, I haven’t compromised my quality here.” (An “explore” is an image Flickr posts to its Explore page as a photograph worthy of additional interest.)
