PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON THE WEB
My web application of choice for photos is Picasa (Google has got me with all their applications!). They now have a version for Mac, and one of the really 'cool' features is face recognition, also found in Aperture. The only downside is the amount of storage space available.
The selling point for Flickr is the royalty free content, and the work they are doing with different galleries around the world.
We are currently working on getting students to include in any digital work a reference as to where an image came from - a digital bibliography. Students need to be awars that just as they can't copy great slabs of text from the web, neither can they copy unacknowledged photos or videos.
You will see that there is now a Creative Commons license notice at the bottom (footer) of this blog.
