Photos, Photos Everywhere

I'm very sorry to say I missed the Dore Alley Fair, now officially titled the Up Your Alley Fair, again this year. Last year it was because Scott and I were both exhausted. This time it was due to a domestic squabble. Dore Alley has alway been my favorite event to take "people pix". The energy and just simple joy that people express is great to experience.

Since I can't turn back time I have decided to start sharing a sample of the over 7000 digital photos Scott and I have taken over the last six year at many events. I've strugged with the how of sharing. With some trepidation I created an account at Flickr. So far I've uploaded a few hundred photos from a handful of events.

I'm a big advocate of Open Source and the idea of sharing. Our nation has become obsessed with owning everything. Major media corporations are doing their best to own and control our very culture. Museams ban photos of classic works because they make money off "official" reproductions. I could rant about this forever. However I decided to put my media where my mouth is.

The vast majority of my photos have been given a Creative Commons license. You should read the details, but in a nutshell all my works can be used to create non-commercial works, provided I'm given credit and the derived worked is also licensed in the same matter. Basically the Open Source GNU General Public License for media.

Please take a look at my photos. There are a few photos hidden from public view. Usually they are of a more adult nature. If you wish to view them you will need to create an account on Flickr, it's free. Then send me email stating you are of legal age to view such material. I can then make you a "Flickr Friend".

I've added a Flickr Profile Overview on the left nav bar of this page, below the archives.
