Launched earlier this week, SeeHere is the latest entry in the pool of photo sites. Like Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa, SeeHere allows users to upload their photo libraries and share them free of charge. Unlike its competitors, there is no limit on the amount of images you can upload without incurring any fees.
The site itself is pared-down and very straightforward (it was designed by Razorfish). You can intuitively upload images and manipulate them with basic editing tools (zoom, crop, rotate, etc.). If you're running a PC, there is desktop software available, although Mac users will have to rely on the web interface. Integration with other applications like Facebook isn't available but we hope it's just a matter of time.
While other sites charge a premium to upgrade and avoid storage limits, SeeHere's free photo philosophy isn't an act of charity—the user is confronted with plenty of opportunities to pay for prints. But to the casual user with a hefty photo library and simple demands, SeeHere is a welcome new option.

Cool Hunting favorite Phil Toledano recently released a photo essay titled Days With My Father. A touching compilation of photos taken after the death of Toledano's mother, the images give an intimate look at the father-son relationship and serve as a time capsule of the period. Although very simple and sparse, the series captures a spectrum of emotion. Created by Fashionbuddha, the elegant design...
We love our Flickr but the presentation of the pictures has always left a little to be desired—which is why we're so stoked on the new free photo viewer Blow Up. Blow Up makes use of the recently opened-up Flickr API to show your Flickr photos in a beautiful fullscreen display. Enter your Flickr name and see all your sets immediately or download the...
Fraction is a new online photography publication. Started this month, it will be published bi-monthly featuring both new and established artists. The site's unobtrusive white design serves as a basic template that lets the photographs do the talking. The inaugural issue features five photographers that cross the spectrum of style. Lawrence Getubig's series titled "Action Figure Cutouts" (sample above left) features dark silhouette renditions...
Our friends at thehappycorp want you to know just how good you look. To prove it, they created You Look Great Today, an assemblage of orchestrated thumbs-up photos that anyone can contribute to. To get involved, you first need to purchase their signature reversible hand-cards (one side is for pale skin, the other for darker skin). You can order a pack of 25 for...
Some might recognize Lost at E Minor from their frequent contributions to CH, but they also host their own site that covers trends and pop culture from all over the world. The page recently underwent a big overhaul. I was able to speak with founding editor Zolton Zavos, whose desk is conveniently next to mine at Cool Hunting HQ. What led you to create...
