One of my favorite photographers (although I don’t know too many) is Rebekka Guoleifsdottir (her Flickr stream). She has not only inspired me to really dive into photography, but she has also made me want to travel to Iceland—it looks awesome there.
Strobist is writing a series called “Flickr and You.” In part one, they talk about Rebekka Guoleifsdottir, and how her fame became known through Flickr. It seems as though her photography is spreading like wildfire, and she might owe much of that to Flickr (she just reached over 3,000,000 views). Since Flickr is one of my top places to spend “internet time,” I naturally find articles like this interesting. Let’s hope Flickr doesn’t change by attempting to capitalize even more on its ability to fuel the fire for amateur photographers all over the world.
