I just joined the One of a Kind group in Flickr. They’ve got a cool game of “eye spy” going on right now. The object of the game is to view the photo in the last posted message and single out an element of your choice. Then you go within your Flickr photos, and post a message with that element.

To see the last message, go to the bottom of the page and click on the last number you see. Have fun.


Flickr is a great site with many many great photos and photographers. What is especially nice is that some photographers choose to license their photos under a creative commons license. This Flickr page has a nice explanation about creative commons licensed photos.

If you want to search for creative commons licensed photos, go to the advanced search page on Flickr, then scroll down to the bottom and select “only search within Creative Commons-licensed photos.” Once selected, you can find content that you can use commercially (with proper attribution).

Surfer at Fort PointFor example, I found this great shot called Surfer at Fort Point by Flickr user Dawn Endico. She licensed the photo under Creative Common’s Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license.

You can use Paul Stamatiou’s flickrSLiDR.
