Online picture sites

Are there any online sites that can hold
pictures that if people want to see them,
they aren't required to sign in?
Thanks

Thanks for the site. But, "luck" is right. I tried registering three
times and it said I'd put in the number (to prevent auto-signups)
wrong. No way I read them wrong. Maybe it's "case sensitive?"

LOL! Glad it worked out. Shoot us a link once you get some images up.

I recently closed all my accounts around the web cause I didn't want to
dilute search results that might lead people to my web site. Not sure if
that's a good thing or not yet.

Well, I've dealt with website makers and advertisers and there is one
thing that's universal now; Everyone has a website, but not enough
people know that in order to drive traffic, you have to have good
links. BTW; I do NOT support pop-ups, or any other kinds of spam.

Some people think that if they create a website and go online,
there are automatic links for people trying to find what they have
to offer. It doesn't really work that way. There are probably
40 billion websites up by now. If not more.
If someone is going to search for something, you figure out what
are the most likely terms they'd use and use them on a search engine
to link your site to. For instance, if you are a consumer looking for
painters in your city, you'd go to google, or whatever search engine
and type in "painting los angeles." Ideally, if you arrange it, you
come up in a prominent position, on the first page of search results.
That's how traffic is driven to websites. Companies who want to sell
ad space on their sites will position themselves to be the ones who
come up first.

Oh, key words and such.. yes, of course. It's a challenge and a full time
job to get yourself to move up the list. I show up #2 when I search on
"mark lauter photo" because I posted a photo to this place a while back..
http://www.coastcomp.com/av/pres/atlanta/ah1f.htm

That's kinda funny.

BTW this is the same type of aircraft I crewed in the Army and at only about
3years after getting out I start seeing them on poles as static displays..
that's depressing to know you've been "phased out".

Could it be some kind of flare effect?

I didn't really think it was flare, as the lines were to straight and
parllel to each other and the frame edges.

Cool shot, in any case!

Cheers,
Alan
