Photo Hosting Sites

[Rob O]

I hear ya. I guess it depends on what you do, and your output goals. I totally see the value in smugmug if you're taking and moving heavy volumes of shots. For me though, photography is more of a creative avocation so I only sell or give away 1 or 2 shots here and there. Because I have the time to do so, my focus is driven more by absolute quality to which having my own, properly calibrated, higher end printer, is a bit of a lustful desire of mine.

You mean there's money to be made in photography? Huh.

I use flickr and have for 3 or 4 years and really like it... At first I got into it because my phorographer friends were into it... Then my friends and family joined and I'm stoked to share my pics with them... I can't imagine selling prints over the internet with zero quality control...

As for copyright infringement anyone can steal anything off the internet watermark or not, so why degrade the pictures with a distracting watermark...

Steal this...

I like to use zenfolio. You can link to my site in my sig. Very user friendly and I think better looking than smug.
