I finally decided to give Flickr a try and this is one of the photos I put up on my account there. Plenty to learn about how I can use their service. I’m still not clear if this will be any help to me or if it will just be yet another way to throw [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote about my love of the artist collective. Well, I have now found out what one of the downfalls of the collective can be. It seems that a set of policies or guidelines is essential to handle situations like the one in which I found myself last week. I went [...]
