Dave Gorman's Flickr adventure

Comedian Dave Gorman has written for Guardian Unlimited about how he become an enthusiastic convert to the photo sharing site Flickr:

I love Flickr. I don't even know how I'm supposed to pronounce it but I love it all the same. For those who don't know, Flickr.com is a photo-sharing website and it's fair to say that it has transformed my attitude to photography.
I've had two or three point-and-shoot cameras in my life, the first a present from my dad for one of my teenage birthdays. The photographs I've taken with these various cameras are all in a box in my attic. They are, by and large, pretty dreadful pictures. A few years ago I bought a couple of albums with the grand idea of archiving them properly. I couldn't find enough photos worth preserving to make it worthwhile.
The thing is, I have a desire to take photos, to preserve memories and document life but I've never really known what I'm supposed to do with my pictures when I've taken them.
