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.

Touted as a threat to Google's search-engine dominance, Wolfram Alpha doesn't warrant the comparison. The site is a different beast altogether, considered a "computational knowledge engine" by British founder Stephen Wolfram. It's more of an answer-engine that relies on its curated knowledge base of data, rather than rounding up websites based on keywords. Boasting north of 10 trillion pieces of data and over 50,000...
Photographer Chris Hornbecker challenged himself with an interesting project last year. The idea was to take a brand new photo each day. Beginning at 14mm, Hornbecker zooms the lens by 1 millimeter a day and uses that focal length to shoot and post a photo before going to sleep each night. The photo above was taken at 27mm. The photo below is at 387mm....
While most of us sit annoyed waiting for heavily coded Flash websites to load—or perhaps abandon them all together—Pretty Loaded has a different take on this pesky little time frame. Created by the Brooklyn-based digital creative agency Big Spaceship, Pretty Loaded is a curated archive of preloading screens and animations, proving that those few seconds, or minutes, can serve as what they call "short-attention-span-theater."...
Download, view, resize, attach, upload, wait, then receive message the file is too large. While taking photos is fun, sharing them often isn't. Until today that is, with the launch of PhotoCannon, whose sole mission is to deliver photos at jaw-dropping speed.For just $5 you can upload 100 photos—an entire folder at a time—and send them to up to 10 people. It's as easy as...
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...
