Like something out of National Geographic Channel’s, “Seconds from Disaster” – I feel like the aftermath survivor of the Digital Railroad Train Wreck; you know the scene – walking wounded, smoke, confusion, chaos. In the wake of the Train wreck, I’ve found new shelter by building myself a new image archive at PhotoShelter. Feel free to take a look:
The saddest part of this whole thing is that DRR servers are still running, kind of. You can see the site, but accessing images is pretty much over. It’s as I described to an editor – watching the death of DRR is like watching a wounded animal on the African Plains, unable to hunt or get to water. It’s just a sad, miserable, slow passing. I can’t begin to express how happy I feel to have found new life, a new watering hole, and a new home for my archive.
Hey Gary, weren’t you on PhotoShelter before? And is Shelter stable now, didn’t they have some sort of catastrophe recently? And what do you think this means for the stock industry in general?
Hey Laurent, Photoshelter Archive (storage / distribution) is their core business, the part they shut down was the Photoshelter Collection (Stock agency).
