flickr goes LOMO

They sure are promoting film everywhere. They've grabbed the 'analog' area of flickr which isn't a small feat considering flickr is the world's largest image repository.

I like their headline:

Explore Analog
Film photography is a beautiful thing.

Flickr is home to a collection of millions of digitized film photographs, cared for by a dedicated band of film enthusiasts.

Analog is here to help you explore and discover the diversity of film photography. And of course, this page is also a thank you to everyone who shoots film.

Film is not dead!

Much more inviting and exciting than "an international community for like minded individuals", eh? They sure know how to market a good thing. Maybe it's a generational thing.

Regards, Art.

I'm surprised at the lack of interest for the Flickr analog page here.
