Where's the Photos??????

Hi everyone, part of the fun of photography is sharing your photos with others, as a photographer I like seeing other photographers work. I love going on photo shoots to interesting places with other photographers and then seeing what photos everyone comes up with. Unfortunately a lot of times you never see what the other photographers came up with.  How many times have you been on a photo shoot with one of the areas photo clubs where there are 20 to 30 photographers  taking hundreds of photos, Most times after the shoot you never see any of the photos and I don't understand why. What is everyone doing with their photos? In the old days the photos ended up collecting dust in a shoe box, these days it appears that the photos languish on the photographers home computers never to be enjoyed by anyone else. To me part of the fun of photography is seeing what everyone comes up with when they go on a photo shoot to the same place. It's fun to see the different ways each photographer "sees" the subject. In today's modern society and computer age you would think most photographers would be posting their photos, but sad to say, if they do post them they never give anyone the link to their site. For example on Facebook I have over 400 friends and at least 200 of them are photogaphers but I only see the photos of nine or ten of the same photographers posting photos or links to their photo sites.  Often I'll check the "Fan" pages on Facebook of the areas Photography clubs after they go on a photo shoot eager to see if anyone posted photos  from the shoot, most of the time I'm disappointed to find that only one or two photographers posted any photos. I'll even check out the Flickr sites, there you'll see a little more activity, but it's usually from the same 9 or 10 photographers. So my question is "What does everyone do with their photos?
