About Picture Post

This blog has been created to share my love of photography as both a medium and an art form. I will endeavour to highlight some of the best images and image makers on the Web, and to occasionally accompany the posts with my own thoughts about life, the universe and anything else that seems relevant to the subject matter.

The idea came to me because photo-sharing sites such as Flickr are quantitive as opposed to qualitative. Images of blurry sunsets and family pets abound. The diamonds in the rough can be tricky to find. So, I thought I’d make it easier for people who want a daily image fix - but don’t want to try too hard.

If it’s your first visit, I recommend using the categories over on the right hand side if you want to get a feel for the previously posted material - there’s a lot of really good stuff!

Oh, and if you like what you see, please take a moment to add Picture Post to any of these social bookmarking sites:

[Note: I have been told that this site works very well on an iPhone or iPod Touch, just in case you own one and like to browse images on the move.]

    HI!!
    I love your website…so do you scour flickr for the photos you post and then ask permission or just post without permission? I was just curious.
    THanks!

    I just post without permission Molly! Most people who don’t want to be blogged lock down their photos. I always provide a link through to the point of origin - standard blogging practice. ;)
