Platform Shoes & Shameless Glamour | Are You An Artist With A BIG Eco?
If the 70s brings back images of glam rock and pop art and a feeling of nostalgia then perhaps it’s time to get out that old photo album and try to remember that night in September back in 1974.
Capturing images and containing them in a neat, tidy and accessible way has got a lot easier since those days I’m glad to say and for today’s artist life in the fast lane can be captured and stored on one of the many different on line photo sharing sites. I’m not sure how many Rap artists or rock legends would actually want their lives on the road uploaded and shared on the internet in the same way you and I are happy to but who knows?
If you do, then perhaps our article will offer one or two useful ideas to help you get started…
In the middle of our top 10 photo sharing sites for artists sits Care2 Connect at number 5. They are the largest online community for healthy and green living, empowering people to lead a healthy, green lifestyle and make a difference. They have a membership of over 13 million individuals, 10,000 groups along with eco-friendly companies and non-profit organizations and have been around since 1998. Their niche market as the name implies, is, individuals, companies and organizations that want to make a positive difference in the world around us. It is also a social database and resource centre. There is no cost to join Care2 Connect and that’s a good feature in itself.
- Features
Be it individual or batch uploads, when it comes time for sharing your photos, you can easily complete this task by browsing your folders, selecting a single image or a number of them and within a matter of moments and a few clicks, you’re done. Up to 200 photos in 30 days can be uploaded with Care2 Connect, giving you over time, considerable storage capabilities. Unless your account is inactive for 45 days and subject to storage restrictions, all this is free. Restrictions apply to obscene images and are in keeping with Care2 Connects social conscience.
To that end, members have access to a searchable directory to contact other members, network messaging and email, making it easy to keep in touch. Directory search can be by name or by the area in which a member lives making it an easy task t connect.
A member’s profile, along with the typical social network information, has an area dedicated to display involvement in social activism. There is even a News Network for members to do news write ups on themselves, post it and have others judge the suitability of the article for display. One can even access basic Petitions that any citizen can use to evoke change. Care2 Connect is definitely much more than a photo-sharing site. In that area, they do a good job as they are well organized, menu driven and very easy to use.
Should you need it, email support is available and a searchable index allows you to “fast find” answers to your questions. Member Forums add another resource for those who want to connect or need help.
Beyond sharing your photos and images through Care2 Connect, there is a special appeal for this site as it seems to have an enormous following. For those with a social conscience be it business, organizations, the general public, family and friends, here you can get in touch with over 2,000 of your peers all with similar interests. Use your photos and write ups to communicate, the News Network to publish your news story, email or join over 10,000 groups with like interests. Care2 Connect offers much more than photo-sharing. And that is good for all of us who are living in today’s world.
Now put away those pictures from the 70s and start creating your own art today!
