LibraryTechtonics: Interesting policy issues introduced by Flickr I have a fond place in my heart for librarians. My first love’s mother was one and I’ve always found them super interesting and frequently quirky. It’s interesting to see a librarian post here about getting a Flickr account for the library’s use. Obviously anyone interested in archiving photos would be interested in Flickr but libraries do seem like a particularly great place for Flickr. Imagine the beautiful collections of photos owned by various libraries, especially historical collections, being released on Flickr. How great would it be to have a few thousand images of San Francisco from say 1900 to 1945 available for view easily at Flickr.

Love seeing this and hope that more libraries consider adopting Flickr as a resource to share their photo collections.

TiVo Banner Ads released | PVRblog For all of you who have been anxiously awaiting the exciting new TiVo banner ads, PVRBlog is reporting that you’re in luck. They are here now.

Interestingly enough, the first ads do not appear to be as large or as invasive as was previous suggested based on earlier trials. Whew!

So the other day when I was hassled for trying to shoot One Bush, my primary reason for shooting the building that day was not so much to shoot then but to plan for a night shot that I’ve thought about getting for a while. Last night after the Flickr Meet Up I went and got the shot. I took a lot more of One Bush at night. The same security guard who was there on Saturday was there last night. At one point while I was shooting a couple of people in the lobby pointed me out to the security guard. He got up and walked over to the door watched me for a little bit and then went and sat down. It would appear that the no photography policy of One Bush has been lifted and thanks to everyone who gave the issue the attention and made a stand for a photographer’s rights to shoot whatever they want while on public space. Thanks especialy to Boing Boing for raising the awareness of this issue.
