Flickr followed the lead of Instagram and the thousands of other copycat apps by adding more filters and gimmicky features, but they also added some very useful and professional editing tools that allow for and encourage more fine tuning of images.

I have intended to post more photos for a while. Especially now, with the new baby, I should be snapping away every day and capturing as many of these early memories as possible. Looking back on old albums has always been such a joy. I’ll have to collect these photos now so my kids and I can enjoy looking back on them in the future.
