Do you know what happens on your office desk at night? Last night, I got up to get a drink of water, and I heard some noise coming from the office. When I went to investigate, I was amazed…
Desk Traffic

Information Superhighway

I arrived at this particular spark of creativity by the idea of making a tilt-shifted photograph look like a model sitting on my desk. Then I asked myself what other objects might I photoshop onto my desk. A quick search for Creative Commons images of cars later, I found an appropriate photo of cars to use. I particularly liked all the reflection of the headlights off of the road and other cars. The desk and keyboard are mine. Photoshop is fun.

Spanish Traffic Ticket
I got my first Spanish traffic ticket this past weekend. It all happened like this… On Friday, October 6, 2006, we were about 60% of the way to Madrid. I was driving. Mother Nature picked up the phone and suggested to me that I stop to urinate. Marga was dozing, and when I started to [...]
Traffic Laws, Spain vs. Venezuela
During a recent trip to Venezuela, as I was holding on, white-knuckled, to a jeep I was standing up in as it sped around a curvy road, the following hypothesis occurred to me: The number of enforced traffic laws a country has is positively correlated with how mature the country is. Allow me to explain… [...]

None of the photos in this post were posed by me. I found the scene just as shown. These toys were part of the attic cleaning I mentioned earlier. You can tell this is Europe by the shape of the tractor trailer. One of the first things Marga said when visiting the US was how [...]

    Great pic – you could sell that one.

    What is the deal with Creative Commons? if they are using that license you can just take their pics?

    The gist is that if you license your work with the Creative Commons Attribution License, you are giving others permission to adapt, modify, and build on your work as long as they give you credit for the original when they republish it. As I understand it, I’m not allowed to actually make money from the sale of the photo above, either.

    When searching for photos on Flickr, for instance, if you go to “Advanced Search”, you have the option of selecting either or both of: A) content to use commercially, or B) content to modify, adapt, or build upon. So, if you want, you can release your photos on Flickr as public domain and let Pepsi make a million-dollar ad from it. Or you can use the Attribution License to let other people use it non-commercially as long as they link to you.

    From what I can tell, the Attribution License is a win-win situation, as long the rights can be sorted out if someone ever wants to use a byproduct commercially. It’s totally unclear what percentage of profit from the image I’ve created should be given to the original photographer.
