I love the idea of the creative commons. I just got to use it for the first time. I put the Creative Commons badge on my photography blog about a month ago.
Yesterday I attended a Barack Obama rally in Minneapolis and posted this photo of Obama today.
I received this email today:
Hi,
The Point Reyes Light […]

Michael Wesch is at it again with another video. This one addresses the way the Internet allows us to organize information. This is relevant to anyone who puts information online.
This is changing the way we think about content. It will change the way I work, build web sites, provide information and find it.

I’ll never be able to argue about the value of free photography for professional (and talented) photographers better than the anonymous photo editor.

Flickr and YouTube are overwhelming. Exploring the content in a meandering kind of way frustrates me because I come across more content that I don’t enjoy than content that I love.
The brilliance of this massive pile of content is the way in which we are allowed to spy on it. Flickr lets users compile […]

I love flickr. It is a tool that has allowed anyone with the ability to make a digital image to upload it, share it and leave it there for others who might have similar interests to find it, form groups and learn from each others’ work. It is brilliant.
Until recently photography has been an art […]

Noah and his friends used flickr and a wordpress blog to report on the Mississippi river bridge collapse yesterday. It is a brilliant example of the power of web 2.0 technologies.

I know everyone is already talking about this. I’m fascinated. This would allow me to do old school photo editing on a computer without printing proofs. This is a computer that lets me use my hands the way mother nature intended instead of forcing them to manipulate a mouse. I want to see how PhotoShop […]

There are four men: Chris, Thomas, Robert and Jeremiah talking in a scattered fashion in front of a packed house at the Web 2.0 Expo. This session is being “covered” in an IRC chat room, we are twittering it, the presenters are running three streaming cameras and using a Canon 5D to document this event […]

Swapthing.com coordinates swaps and builds trust amongst it’s users. They help users find things they can trade for. For example, I have 200 CDs that are of no use to me and I see that there is someone on swapthing.com who wants to trade a stereo for some CDs. We connect through the site and […]

I’ve been chewing on an idea for a few months. I’ve been working with survivors of war using historic photographs to encourage healing. I have done this in a community room with people who all know each other and have lived near each other for years. We carefully selected photos from the last 25 years […]
