The abandoned buildings of the Eastern bloc
Christian Richter spent his teens exploring abandoned buildings in what was then East Germany. Now, as an adult, he’s still doing it and photographing their decaying interiors.

Photo storage sites
For most blogs, if you want to post photos (or other media) you’ll need to upload your content elsewhere, then link to it (hotlink) which means that you can display your photo from your photo site on your blog or homepage, though it isn’t actually there.
My favorite photo storage site is Zooomr. You get unlimited storage space, but you do get ads. They don’t show up on your blog, just on the Zooomr site. There’s also a Zipline – which is very much like Twitter, only built-in.
Another great photo site that in theory at least, offers unlimited space, is LenzUs. You get photo albums here (a limited number on the basic accounts). The catch is that you can’t upload more than a certain quota of files per month.
You also get photo albums with other memberships (social networks etc) and I’ll mention that when I get to each site.
If you want to post photos on Twitter you can link directly to your Zooomr account (or whatever you have – others have Flickr, Photobucket etc), or you can use TwitPic, which is connected to Twitter. There are other photo storage sites meant for use with Twitter – TweetPhoto is another I’ve tried and liked. You just post the photo (you sign up by logging in with your Twitter ID.), then the photo appears on your Twitter page. I really like TwitPic and TweetPhoto. They’re very easy to use, very practical. And remember, people love to see your photos.
