Wow. A kid born on the day I joined Flickr would now be old enough to vote!
I joined when Flickr was based locally in Vancouver, BC, Canada. My initial pictures made the move down to San Franciso in the summer of 2005 when the site was bought by Yahoo. I managed to stay with Flickr even when it required a Yahoo ID. More recently, in 2019, my pictures made the migration to AWS cloud services after being acquired by SmugMug.
This is one of the first two pictures, I uploaded to my Flickr account. Jay and I had just returned from a trip to the BC Okanagan with friends. I was looking for a robust place to keep images on the Internet. Thanks for letting it stay online for eighteen years, Flickr!
