The resignation from Yahoo! of one of Flickr’s founders in combination with the recent history of Yahoo has led to some speculation about the future of Flickr<\/a>. A similar thing happened when Yahoo floated the potential shutdown of Delicious and MyBlogLog and Delicious is still available (I also had a MyBlogLog account and it is going away).<\/p>\n

Still, it was enough for me to worry about my Flickr images. I have a fairly large collection and some of my images are family photos that go back 50 years. I decided I needed to back up my account. I have tried several techniques and I am inclined to recommend Bulkr<\/a>. By this I mean I tried several options and this is the one that was successful. I did purchase the pro version because I wanted my original images. I have a 7D that takes large images and I needed the pro version (approx. $25) to download the originals.<\/p>\n

I am sure Yahoo! will give everyone plenty of notice if it decides to abandon Flickr, but more and more I am investing in backups.<\/p>\n
