Why I'm not leaving - a photo on Flickriver

1. Feeling blue, 2. sadness#1, 3. Rock hewn graves, Heysham, 4. My Flickr Advent Calendar - 10th December

This collage shows the reasons I'm not leaving Flickr. Not just yet.

* Top left - My very first photo I posted, when I was ill with depression and anxiety and spent most of my life like a goldfish... looking out the window. As stupid as it sounds, my camera gave me the confidence and motivation to start venturing out on my own again... each week a little further.

* Top right - The photo that I posted that showed how bad I felt... my camera was at the side of me and I just picked it up and shot. I've always been very honest about myself on Flickr.

* Bottom left - The picture of Heysham, the first shot that Norm ever commented on and which started our friendship.

* Bottom right - And the picture of a different Sal. With a job, more self-confidence, a bit of pride and enjoying life again.

My photostream is a journey and I've met so many wonderful people along that journey. And if you are reading this I probably mean you.

I've added my voice to the flickr forum, calmly and rationally, because that's all we can do. And the fact that Yahoo have already spoken about the amount of criticism they have received and that they're looking into things and the fact that it's been down all afternoon makes me hopeful that the powers that be might be having a rethink.
