2004 was the height of the transition from film to digital for consumers.

Ken Parulski worked on the Apple QuickTake 100 , which was released in 1994 using Kodak ’s digital imaging sensor.

The technology around photo management was limited, too, and early hard drive capabilities made for an experience “frankly more painful than it should have been”.

The service that really ignited image sharing on the web was Photobucket .

By 2006 , it owned 2 percent of all internet traffic with 80 photos uploaded every second .

Flickr became the go-to platform for enthusiast photographers and ushered in a new era of storing images online rather than just uploading them to be printed or emailed.
