That's right, in a recent column, NY Times 'writer' Sonia Zjawinski advocates her readers steal your photos from flickr to fill up empty space on their walls
gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/flickr-as-an-inte...
I highly encourage you all to comment on the article letting Sonia know what you think about her advice.
You could also ask the Time's Assisting Managing Editor if this is the official policy of the paper or a practice she endorses.

get on it people!
and please...by all means, copy this image and as much of the text as you want for your own personal use.
We'd been driving around so much from shopping area to shopping area and inbetween, always.. was beautiful countryside, rolling fields and blue mountains..one of them Sugar Loaf. Trouble was..every time I thought " I should be drawing this ( whizzing past in the car!!)..it had vanished. So finally, I prepared for it..with the sketchbook open on my lap and all to the ready..to catch it in that minute or two before it had gone again. I didn't manage much but I got the feel plus a touch of colour to help my memory. I added to it as soon as we got home..while it was still fresh in my memory..then added the text.
Would you like this, partner? I tried to include your preferred colors and style, but I also wanted it to reflect a lot of me:-) These are some of my favorite fabrics.
I have a bunch of other ideas for a pillow if this one is not what you would like:-)
Junk Jet has developed an archive impossible that transports, in print format, net based works, or fragments of works showing collections, series, animations, applications, and reflecting anti-heart texts on the net and its new forms of art, design, and architecture. N°5, the net.heart issue, has transferred internet things from their digital space into a paper jet. This transportation procedure relies on documents in a similar way as the museum relies on photograph and video documenting performance arts. And Junk Jet believes that this analogue documentation is in no way inferior to pseudo-preserving techniques of data migration, emulation, or reprogramming. At the end, Junk Jet says: Transportation is not so much about the artwork as object, but rather about the indication of the subjective decision of the artist. In this sense Junk Jet is a Russian conceptualist.

N°5 comes with a Poster: "Home Buttons by Architects"
a visualisation of the seasonal colours in Norway as a calendar wheel.
This was generated from this time lapse movie by Eirik Solheim. Well worth a look! It's a time-lapse movie of a garden taken over the course of a year.
Individual video frames were compressed into single-column images and wrapped into a donut using a custom Processing script.
The inside of the circle is the ground; the outside is the sky. The original video includes a slight zoom-in throughout the year, although it's barely visible here.
There's a slight gap at the top because I didn't get the exact start/end frames for the video (I had to strip out the intro and end credits to make this work as a visualisation).
Month names and text were added using Inkscape. Months start at *approximately* the position of the first letter of the month's name.
Month names are in Norwegian, the 'c' and 'y' keys still work on my keyboard :-D
Not much story to tell. In fact, none. I saw Lauren sitting just like this today and everything clicked. The color of the handicap ramp, the door, the vape pen... everything. She asked me what I wanted her to do for the picture. "Don't move, just look at me. And please don't smile." I'm not sure I had to tell her the last part, but better safe than sorry. And besides, she was a sweetheart for letting a stranger take her picture.

Hi Flickr,
I've released my third photography zine, Burrito Massacre, which is now available for purchase on my website for a mere $5 USD.
Just check out my new store page: www.dommephoto.com/store/
As you can probably tell, I don't really upload anything to Flickr or Instagram anymore. I believe that a photograph isn't really a photograph unless it's printed. So why just keep clicking through your photostream like this when you can have a series of actual photographs to flip through?
24 pages, full-bleed, horizontal format. Really well-printed.
Note: I sell these at cost, so I'm not out to make a buck - I just would like to continue to get my work out to people who might appreciate it, but without the apathy that I feel systematic Flickr uploads represent.
Ross's Geese Take Flight, Dusk. Central Valley, California. February 8, 2012. © Copyright 2012 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A flock of Ross's geese take flight at dusk above a Central Valley pond, California.
Yes, another photograph of geese taking flight above a California Central Valley pond. I can't help myself! :-) After photographing the dwindling flock, as they left in large groups during the hour before sunset, at the point of most beautiful light there were only a few left. This group was among the very last to depart from this pond, and at this point it was dusk and the colors had gone from the crisp blues of an hour earlier to warm pinks and reds and purples. We were lucky enough to be very close to this large flock for at least an hour.
I'll use this photograph to make another technical observation. I made what might seem like an odd choice regarding exposure for this shot. Here I wanted to try to stop the motion of the birds as they lifted off. (In other photographs of this subject I intentionally allow the motion to blur.) This meant that I needed a relatively short shutter speed. Even after raising the ISO to 400 and opening up the largest aperture on this long lens, the result was still going to be underexposure. for what I had in mind for this sequence of shots, I wanted to avoid using an ultra-high ISO with the attendant increase in noise. So I choose to deliberately underexpose these shots by perhaps a couple of stops, trusting that I'd be able to compensate for this in post since I shoot in raw mode. In other words, if you are the sort who scans EXIF data for exposure information and then tries to make sense out of it or even use it yourself... you have been warned! :-)

One of the big changes in bus travel in the 1970s was the change from most buses having a driver and a conductor, to 'one-man' operation (lady bus drivers were very few and far between). The group of bus services between Sale and Moston changed over on 2 March 1970 to buses where instead of giving money to the driver, you inserted 6d (sixpence) coins into one of two machines located beyond the entrance. Buses with this system had a big yellow and black symbol to show 'coin in the slot' and it's seen here just left of the 'will change to one-man operation' text. But it's doubtful that people realised what the rather stylised symbol meant, leading to delays as people fumbled for change. But also the machines were prone to breakdown and with the driver unable to check who had paid at the machines behind him, fare evasion became a serious problem.
So the machines didn't last long, but the Museum of Transport's preserved 'Mancunian' bus 1001 still has the yellow and black symbol on the front and the distinctive red ticket machines inside.

U.S. Route 95 is a north-south United States highway.
As of 2008, the highway's northern terminus is in Boundary County, Idaho, at the Canadian border crossing of Eastport, where it continues north as British Columbia Highway 95. Its southern terminus is in San Luis, Arizona, on the Mexican border, where a short spur leads to Mexican Federal Highway 2 at San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora.
US 95 in California is a short segment of poorly maintained two-laned road that connects the southern tip of Nevada with southwestern Arizona. In the summer, the desert temperatures often reach 45 C (115 F) degrees. South of Interstate 40, it is 90 miles (145 km) from Needles (with no filling stations or towns with services) until Interstate 10 and Blythe.
US 95 in Nevada is a divided highway between the Laughlin Junction and Boulder City. Upon entering the Las Vegas area, the highway becomes a freeway and is concurrent with I-515 and US 93 between Henderson and Downtown Las Vegas. After crossing I-15, the highway continues as a freeway for several miles until again becoming a divided highway outside the Las Vegas urban area. Shortly after entering Nye County, US 95 becomes a two lane highway as it meanders northward throughout the state.

I thought that I would run out of time to play along with the Muse Challenge this week:
musecardclub.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1
While I love the inspiration card I struggled with it a little bit as it is not a colour combo that I often use and I don't have any images like the cool drink that Therese created!
In the end I used the layout and colours from Therese's inspiration card with the Penny Black Dreamy stamp which I coloured with aquamarkers and spritzed with water over a Hero Arts friends definition text stamp and finished with a Hero Arts sentiment.
