In any case, I’ll not be blogging these items.

I have trypophobia. I’m afraid of clusters of holes.
I can’t use items that make the mental association of these.

About the shooting of the buildings and furnitures.
I do all photographic backgrounds in set rather than location shooting. The background is essential to weaves words and stories into my image. I want to give the person the most matching background. So for me background are very important. Therefore, I’ll not take pictures of the buildings alone. and I don’t have many pictures of the whole picture of the background.

I have a pro account, and following the changes the flickr announced, I asked flickr support if bloggers could use photos to introduce other people’s products to the fickr.
‘Is it impossible for bloggers to introduce others’ products using their own photos?’

The responses from flickr support were as follows.
‘Promoting others products does violate our Terms of Service and would be considered commercial use. Commercial use can and has gotten peoples accounts removed for violation of these policies’
I’m very sad about this.
but I have written item links in the picture description so far but in fact Flickr judged it to be a violation if I did this.
In future I’ll only post the URL of the blog in the flickr photo.
Since I have some other web services, I continue posting at the same time.
Of course all the item details are written on my blog.
(This is the same as before)

January 1, 2021 Update
The behavior of second life users on flickr was discussed again in February 2020. I have been looking at various views and discussions in the months since then.
For example,
・New World Notes : Flickr Forbids Free Account Users From Promoting Any Commercial Activity
I have come to the conclusion that I can write the item details of flickr image if it is a pro account. In this case, only the item details are included, not the links. In the future, there is a possibility that it will be changed again due to the change of the flickr rule, etc., but I will write the item details on flickr while they are allowed. January 1, 2021

About the Flickr post.
I do not do group posting other than Second Life official, each store and the event official in my Flickr posts. I don’t like to do group posts for the purpose of increasing my favorites. I’m not a member of mandatory fav, comments and reward groups.

There are various opinions about this, but some groups authorize group postings on the condition that they share favorites and comments with each other (awards etc…). This may be an easy way to add more favorites and views to your photos. However, I think these actions may confuse the viewer and interfere with the readability of the photo. For these reasons, I do not post to groups such as awards. Of course there are many great groups that are not.

It is up to the individual to decide how each person judges the picture. I have no objection to it. But, I aim for authentic views rather than a manipulated favorite or view. To make the creators and events in the photos easier to understand, my post focuses on the tags of the creators and my event groups. I really appreciate the people who invited me to the group.

thank you.
