I know…I know…it’s been far too long since I last wrote something deep and inspirational. Do I have a good reason? I of course like to think I do…but don’t we all think we have good reasons for doing things? The truth of it all is I’ve simply been worn out with the new gig I’m doing and it leaves

Getty Images and Flickr just made a deal where Getty will search Flickr’s vast library of images and if Getty finds one they think is marketable, they will contact the photographer and ask if they’d be interested in letting Getty add that image to their library of licensed photography.

I was recently talking with a friend about what we look for in someone, what annoys us, etc. I of course had my laundry list of things that I’ve deemed fairly important over the years of having gone through both good and bad relationships, no relationships, and just life in general.
