Photography: Getty Images Wants Your Flickr Photos

From BoingBoing:

"Bits is reporting that Getty will be trolling through images on Flickr and soliciting photographers for rights to resell their photos:
Yahoo and Getty Images said Tuesday that they have entered into a partnership under which Getty editors will comb Flickr in search of interesting images. They will then invite photographers to participate in the program and ensure that their images have the proper releases to be licensed legally. Those who are included in the program will get paid at the same rates that Getty pays photographers who are under contract with the company."

Maker Faire: Jack Sparx Shocked Me, Literally!


I just peeped this vid on Boing Boing this morning and thought it worth mentioning that Jack Sparx (who is interviewed by Xeni near the end) SHOCKED ME at the Maker Faire a couple weekends ago.  

It was the end of our day and we were heading back to the car when I realized that we hadn't yet visited the Dark Room.  We popped in the back door and just as we slipped into the darkness I heard a voice over my left shoulder ask if I wanted a shock.  I looked over and saw a man with his hair sticking straight up and simply replied "sure".  I stuck my elbow out and BAM...I received quite the jolt!  In fact I can tell you EXACTLY where on both of my feet the electricity left my body.  Yes, it was that powerful.  

I, like Xeni, wasn't at all prepared for the jolt I received from Mr. Sparx but I'm glad to report that it wasn't painful by any means...just a bit shocking. (Pun completely intended.)
