A Sad Day – Tim Shoebridge

Well it has finally come to this. After eight happy years of posting to Flikr, I have finally made the decision to part company with it.

The reasons why are explained in this image which is the last image I am able to upload to FLICKR since it takes the total number of uploads to 1,000.

So while my FLICK account still exists, and the 1,000 images I have chosen to remain will not be deleted for the time-being, I am unable to upload any more.

To be honest, if I am going to pay a subscription for the privilege of uploading content to the internet, then I would prefer to make that choice myself rather than it be forced upon me. Until I make such a choice I am going to be posting here on my website far more often, which is probably not such a bad thing for me to be doing anyway!

About

I am a photographer and musician living and working in London UK. I have been engaged in photography for over 35 years, dating back to my early teens when I owned my first film camera, a Zenit-E SLR.

I had the great fortune at that early age to be able to start experimenting with developing film and making prints, and by the time I was 16 I worked in the darkroom of a major wedding photographers in South London.

In the years that have passed, photography has been a constant creative outlet for me, I also compose and record music and have been doing so all my working life. For the last five years I have adapted my skills to independent filmmaking and the composition of music suitable for soundtracks.
