Is Flickr the only choice?
Flickr … I use it to host my photographs … not all of them but most of them. I still have about 2,000+ pictures to upload but before I do this I wanted to know if anyone can suggest a photo hosting that allows me to have full control of my photos and how I use them. For example I would like to sell some of my photographs and only show smaller versions of it or maybe just have the option to sell it on print. Also private and public viewing so family and friends can see it only. Hmm, what else … oh yeah an API or some way I can upload the picture without having to do it thru the web interface … that’s just a pain. That’s just a few of my example I would like.
I really like Flickr but I am just very curious if there is anything out there that is even remotely close to Flickr.
I have found these services and would like to look into them … has anyone used these and would you recommend any of them? Anything I haven’t listed maybe?
Zoto
Zooomr (I am really considering this one right now except they have shut everyone out right now while they are working on the new version of the site)
Fotki
Smugmug
ipernity
OR should I create my own? I really would like something that is taken care of professionally instead of having to manage it all the time.
Just so you know I have about 10 Gigs of Photos I have taken along with some of my Girlfriends pictures so … yea space can be a problem with some services.
