Adirondaks winter weekend

This is a slideshow from my photobucket account of the weekend I spent in the Adirondaks with my dad over Christmas break.
Here at photobucket you can view other photos I have uploaded.

Sharing photos like this can help my social life because if people see my pictures and enjoy them we could strike up a conversation and start chatting about other things. Which is similar to the way that photo sharing could help me in business. If a company were to see my designs on my photobucket they could offer me a job without me having to search them out. It also provides an easier way to create my portfolio, instead of lugging around several pieces of paper or other media I could instead just offer a link to my photobucket so agencies could see and judge my work. In addition, I can see the work of my peers and the competition I am up against or new things that people are working on. Also, my peers can leave comments to critique my work. In the end, sharing photos is just as helpful for social networking as a discussion board.

On the other hand, there are also potential social problems with photo sharing. When pictures are posted of you that are inappropriate (like underage drinking) a parent or boss or coach could see it and could induce serious consequences. A picture like that could ruin your reputation. Cops have even used photos posted of people to charge them with crimes that they otherwise could have gotten away with. In addition, photos not set to private could be seen by sexual predators. As well, people could steal your pictures and use them for profit or a cause that you don't agree with. So for every new technological advancement there is always pros and cons.
