Look, if you had one shot
or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
in one moment
Would you capture it...
or just let it slip?

I once took a photo of a co-worker of mine wearing suspenders, and tagged it as such on Flickr. And that's how I learned about suspender fetishists.

My buddy once did a search to diagnose a throttle issue we were having on our race car and discovered a fetish site for girls pumping on the gas pedal, trying in vain to get their cars started. Nothing is sacred! :(

The secret is to stop using flickr. They're pretty good with the actual image hosting part of their job but the community blows rear end.

This is pretty much how I use flickr. I'm way too lazy to do anything else with the 9000+ images (yes, all are crap) I've got up there, and other than checking my stats a couple of times a month and favouriting-then-forgetting pictures from other Dorkroomers, I don't use any part of the flickr "community". Yahoo bought flickr with the express purpose of turning it into an image-based social network site, despite the fact that Facebook 1) exists and 2) hosts more photos than all other image-hosting sites on the internet combined.

There are lots of ways to use flickr, but they all boil down to two key features, which any half-decent image hosting site should have by default: you can put up a picture in a place you can find it again, and you can write stuff underneath your picture, including links and other basic features of internet-ness. Some people toss a few thousand photos up and then paste links into other places (like me, posting my stuff in the Dorkroom and to my blog or facebook). Some people put up a small number of photos and write essays to go with them. And some people try to turn the weak community on flickr into their own little fetish-dungeon, and endlessly browse for pictures of animal anuses.

The flickr community is mostly garbage but the site works really well though. I think maybe tumblr has some quality content but lol tumblr.

Also the flickr app is pretty nice.

I found that throttle fetish thing to by accident on youtube also looking up car problems. We looked at it for a while and it gets really specific, like blonde short russian women in heels and sexy military uniforms. The internet is my favourite thing.

There are also really specific hour long videos about home appliances like "Whirlpool full cycle 800rpm rinse grey tiled floor no echo". I'm not sure if it's sexual though

I'm freaking out just a little here because I thought that was me at first and I have no memory of doing a photo like this. Then I realized that's not my camera, even though I own that exact pair of shoes, pants, and shirt.

I took a shot of my fully clothed wife hiding behind a nude statue at the National Gallery and named it "Nude and Kim."

Years gone by several of my most viewed photos are of a lady firefighter, not a sexy one just a coworker on a standby in turnout pants and a regular shirt. Dudes will literally jerk off to anything on flickr tagged "woman" or "girl"
