"A "hived" group has everything all together in a jumble: all sorts of styles, all sorts of subjects, all sorts of ways of seeing, black and white and color side-by-side. With TLR shots, even different time periods are represented as well, as people upload work they did ten, twenty, thirty, even forty years ago." There are ecosystems on Flickr that have over the years, cultivated a system for sorting through, and collecting the quality work. Doing random searches can be a bit overwhelming. Like most things, with Flickr you get back what you put in.
