Too good to be true?

Recently I noticed Imageshack, which is a free photo hosting service. It seems too good to be true—for no charge at all they'll give me unlimited storage space, plus auto-generation of galleries and thumbnails—but it also seems to be real. I'm using it for today's image, and if nothing goes wrong I'll carry on doing this in future, because in the long run it will save me money if I don't have to buy more server space.

If you use or have used this service, can you tell me if there is a catch?

Guest photobloggers wanted

Over Spring Break I may actually be away from an internet connection for a while. I'd like to keep this site always having a fresh photo every day, so I thought I might copy what a few other photobloggers do, and invite guest posters. There are 6 days on which I may or may not have an internet connection, so I want up to 6 people (or 1 person willing to do 6 days) to post one picture a day between them. I may end up also posting pictures, but there's no harm in having 2 up in a day.

Anyway, if you're interested, leave a comment or email me.

Photo Friday: Rural

Toshiba digital compact. Camera model and exposure details lost in the mists of time.

Somewhere in the South of England
Summer 2000 (or possibly 1999)

This is from the first solo trip I ever made: Brighton to Plymouth by bike. I'm not going to be visiting new places as often in the next few months as so far this year, so I think I'll be posting quite a few older photos. Unfortunately I've lost all the additional data like dates and exposures, and I get hazy about dates that I can't use my blog to check.
