Travel photo show and tell

Face it: Your friends are sick of you boring them with your travel pics.

Strangers, however, can’t get enough of them; judging by the recent proliferation of user-generated travel photo pools.

If sharing’s your bag, you’ve got Flickr to thank. Start by adding your best shots to WorldHum‘s photo pool. And if you’re the competitive sort, take a swing at Lonely Planet‘s ongoing travel photo contest, or Perceptive Travel’s.

But success comes with a heavy conscience, for you may very well be ruining the career prospects of professional photographers . Happy now?
