Photo-Blogging on Flickr

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 7, 2011 -- I've always loved the story-telling aspect of photojournalism magazines and reportage articles. Some of my favorites include National Geographic and blogs like Boston's Big Picture. The photos together tell a story. The first photograph catches your attention, the last photograph provides an epilogue, and the pictures in-between range from wide-angle to close-up such as to reveal the details.

But then I thought about the way I was sharing photographs: either by uploading a blast of random photos to my Flickr photostream, or by sharing a few individual photos over email. I realized that I wasn't telling a story, and as a result, my pictures lacked impact too.

Even the best photographs often can't stand alone - rather, they require context and story provided by surrounding photographs and captions. Flickrwire.com is a new website that brings photo-blogging mainstream, allowing anyone to easily tell stories through their pictures. The website is integrated with Flickr.com, one of the world's most popular ways to share photographs. Flickrwire builds on the experience, allowing you to present your Flickr photos as blog posts that reveal the story behind the pictures. It's free and easy to use, allowing anyone to publish posts with only a few clicks.

With Flickrwire, you share more than just individual photographs, but the relevance and stories they tell together. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Such a presentation may be ideal for sharing pictures of travel, daily life, parties and events, journals, portfolios, and galleries.

With history unfolding everyday and media becoming increasingly ingrained in our lives, so too does the role of photographs in communication. The presentation matters, and it is vital that we choose the proper presentation method to maximize the impact and messages that we hope to deliver through photography.
