flickr is an increasingly popular resource for publishers, due to its abundance of high quality photos, creative commons (cc) licensing and clear website interface.
IDstream maintains its own library of 3,000+ tagged images on flickr (username adstream) which may be utilized for IDstream projects. Or indeed for other non-commercial and non-derivative use, with attribution (
).
For example…
- The Paradiso, Amsterdam sets the stage for (the well worth reading) 10 Reasons Why Organizations (And Individuals) With Audiences Win (the future buzz).
- Images I was lucky enough to get to snap from a unique urban vantage point – atop an ancient aqueduct straddling a modern autoduct in busy Istanbul – now illustrate articles in several online magazines and blogs, including Istanbul Gets Bus Rapid Transit (The City Fix) and FCC Position May Spell the End of Unlimited Internet (Wired).
- Inspiration for Preparing for Cold Weather Photography (Photoxels)
- Did you know We Ate 90% of All The Fish In The Sea? (Meet your Food)
Most of the collection focuses on the nature of the Netherlands; the most downloaded image is "P1010017.JPG" (warning: contains naturists!). A semi-random selection of "The World's Best Photos by adstream" - courtesy of the "Flickr Hive Mind" - best illustrates the diversity of the landscape.
