Photo Clubs

It amazes me how many sites there are where one can join the club and add your photos. Flickr, Webshots, Google Web Albums, Snapfish, …….wow.
JPG
This weekend I stumbled across JPG, and quickly joined in. Added a few photos right away. Within a couple hours, I add a dozen friends/contacts.
The first thing that really attracted me to this site was the THEME assignments. You add a photo based on the theme they have going. The themes I entered under were “Decay”, “Transformation”, and “Nostalgia”.
What a great idea.
Pixelpipe
I had to try Pixelpipe, if nothing else than for the sheer huge number of sites that it will distribute photos to all at once. Pixelpipe is a free service. Setting up was very simple, but it took quite a bit of time, since you need to enter all your login info for each of the photo sites. At first I was excited about how much time this was going to save me when submitting photos to the sites that sell them. But what I found after a half-day of entering info, was that there aren’t too many of the “money” sites that are participating with Pixelpipe at this time. Perhaps this will change, but for now, the site predominantly distributes to “photo sharing” sites.
In iteslf that could be a good thing if you do keep a photostream at flickr, like to send your photos to Picasa web album, Snapfish, etc. If you do, it will save you time and I would recommend that you at least check it out.
