Happy week (in delay!) - Thoughts on Creative Commons - Beautiful today: Beach huts
By Suze on May 11, 2010 | In Beautiful Today, About Me, Design, Photo, Illustration | 4 feedbacks »
Hello friends!
As you will see I'll be still in "super-busy mode" for the whole week. Besides finalizing my store set up (missing now: basically only a good photoshooting of the products, the first attempt didn't really work... :)), I took another little and interesting project for a new online friend, maybe more on this in the future...
Altough less active I'm following all your online adventures with love. Thank you for stopping by and for your comments!
Wanted to tell you: I'm having a lot of fun in searching only Creative Commons licensed images lately for my Flickr inspiration "collections". Since I don't have much time (to ask for permission for example), with Creative Commons content I'm more confident I'm not hurting anybody nor infringing anybody's right. Personally I'd be only happy if someone used any of my photos (Creative Commons licensed anyway) in this way, a couple of online friends were ok too I used their beautiful pictures, but I understand someone might have concerns or simply disagree... (I'd be very interested in knowing your thoughts on the "UPDATE" about Flickr photo collages criteria in my Welcome section...)
Anyway, what I wanted to say is: searching Flickr outside of the circle of the photographers I admire and love (I'm sure you like them too) is such a refreshing, challenging, fun, surprising jurney! Choose a theme or a keyword, flag "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content " in the Advanced Search options and you'll see...
Here's today's collection: I've always loved beach huts, since when I was a kid, I loved the idea of a little "house-shaped" home, with the door, the keys and everything... I'm SO lookign forward for June and for some beach life!
Have a great week everybody!

I will feature licensed content if I'm planning on saying something about it...and not using it to illustrate another point I'm making in a post. I formerly did that, however, and I'm not sure if I should take those posts down or revise them. Like you, if I feature something in a post, it's because I love it and want the world to love it, too.
And...I love your beach hut collage!
i've had the exact same thoughts as you...not sure whether even though i'm using their work to showcase their work whether they wouldn't like it. so i've been sticking to the creative commons. you've done a great job finding such beautiful images there!!
