What does a single day of Flickr uploads look like as real photos?
- kghose 15y agoBut, these are not from the same person. We do probably take many, many more photos in digital (I know I do) but I don't know if the quantity for professionals has changed. They probably took lots and lots of shots and fliped through them to find the right expression/moment even when they used film. The main expense for professionals has probably shifted from film stock to camera body/lens.

- jimworm 15y agoMakes one wonder what it'd look like if it was based on facebook instead.
- simonb 15y agoIf the artist was precise (if you look at the coverage of the exhibition you will find numbers ranging from 1 to 3M, both of which are significantly too low [0]), it would take about 50 more rooms (there are about 5M new photos uploaded to Flickr/day vs. 250M to FB [1]).
