Hi all,

In my last blog post, I explained why I prefer 500px over 1x or any other photo sharing site I’ve come across till now. At the same time I was still undecided as per what I thought of Pinterest as a tool to share the work of others. Meanwhile I have made up my mind, since as things are organized now, I feel that in general, people only care about their own collections, e.g. they make use of other people’s work to make interesting galleries, and this more often than not without properly refering to the photographer. And this makes the site useless to create exposure for others. Most of the time you cannot trace back the name of the photographer, nor the link to his or her site. At first instance I told myself I would do it differently, which I did, yet also this is useless, since if somebody repins you without bothering to properly reference, the next person will still be at a loss as per the creator of the shot, …

So far, my reflection on Pinterest, welcoming thoughts of others on the subject and leaving you with anoher reflection for this week.

Warm regards,

Guy
