Peter - interesting comparison on your end. Hadn't thought about it as a starting a point of a pro shooter than switching to a more less formal collection. Definitely starting to agree keeping them separate is the way to go. Anonymous - Funny you mentioned Facebook. I've been meaning to bring over more photos there, too, since not all my friends are tech savvy and frequent Flickr. Fun to get that feedback from friends and family, and FB seems to be the number one spot for that these days (at least in my circle). Andy - You're dead on with being selective, something I'm learning to do more and more each time I shoot. I still battle from time to time with having to choose between a few shots of the same scene or location, and every now and then trying not to fall victim to rule about being emotionally attached to your photos. Obviously some of these are going to mean more to me than others viewing them. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

One of the best secrets I learned is that many great photographers take crappy photos too--they just don't post them to Flickr! Over the past year, I've been much more selective about the photos I post to Flickr and I'm getting better feedback that way! Good luck with that!

I could not believe I have over 70 albums of 150+ pics each! Most of the time I just upload them all without really picking the ones I really really like. Then you have those pics where people have left comments and you don't want to lose that. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. I’ve been trying to do the same with my FB albums.

I actually went the other way—started posting from my professional portfolio first - http://flickr.com/photos/peterliuphoto - then started other accounts for snapshots, friends, family, etc. You definitely need to keep them separate. I don't envy you the transition though. It’s the right direction.
