Getty Images + Flickr Make a Deal

gi.jpgYou heard it here first! Getty and Flickr have just entered into an exclusive partnership to sell Flickr images.

Here’s how it’ll work:

  1. Getty editors will scour Flickr for images they deem saleable
  2. They’ll contact photographers whose images are selected to see if they want to make them available for licensing by Getty Images
  3. Assuming the photographer says yes, the images become available through Getty’s Flickr collection, and accessible to all their existing customers in the image licensing space

It remains to be seen how many images Getty will select, what deal they’ll offer photographers, and how they’ll select images. But people have been wondering what impact Flickr would have on the stock photography space for years, and this is a pretty interesting deal!

More info:

  • The Flickr Collection (Flickr Blog)
  • The official PR release
  • more details after the jump…

    2 GB of memory, rechargeable battery, and 40% smaller (about the size of a Blackberry Pearl). $180.

    18 years = 6,697 Polaroids

    JAMIE LIVINGSTON. PHOTO OF THE DAY: 1979-1997

    We’ve talked before about taking a photo a day for a whole year, but Jamie Livingston’s life project found via mental_floss is epic in scope.

    Jamie captured 18 years of his life in Polaroids before his death in 1997. Plan to have a lot of time on your hands when you go to the site, it is easy to get lost in the images. More of this story can also be found on Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn.

    How To Recycle Your Inkjet Cartridges

    Hey everybody, here’s some useful info on how to recycle your used inkjet printer cartridges, from Andrew Darlow’s book 301 Inkjet Tips & Techniques. Check it out, it’s a really good printing resource.

    Tip #114: Donate or recycle your inkjet-related items.

    In this final tip of my section of the book, I think it is critical to understand the impact that we all have on our earth when we throw out items containing ink and plastic (and, for that matter, any plastic or electronic materials). Virtually all inkjet cartridges can be recycled, and recycling keeps many potentially harmful materials out of landfills.

    Some companies will recycle specific brands of used inkjet and laser cartridges, and,in some cases, they will even pay a specific amount per cartridge. Staples, for example, pays $3 per recycled cartridge in the form of store merchandise certificates.

    Also consider recycling the packaging that your inkjet cartridges come in. If the package has a recycle logo or a notice that it can be recycled, you can usually discard it with plastic bottles and similar items.

    Also consider recycling mobile phones, laser printer toner cartridges, computers, and, of course, batteries. Many communities have free drop-off centers for batteries and other electronic trash, and some companies, like Staples, will recycle old printers, computers, and other items for a per item fee.

    I also recommend doing a search on your printer or ink manufacturer’s web site to see what suggestions and options they offer for recycling. Most have a section dedicated to recycling.

    Donating working printers to nonprofit organizations such as The Salvation Army can help those organizations earn money from the sale of the equipment. By donating a printer to a school (and possibly some time to help them set it up), you may be able to help them to greatly expand their art program.

    There is also a good chance that some of your equipment’s value can be deducted on your tax return. I recommend checking with a tax professional with regard to how to properly account for these types of donations.

    From Chapter 8 (Tip 114) of Andrew Darlow’s new book, 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques: An Essential Printing Resource for Photographers (Course Technology, PTR). For more info, including excerpts from the book, visit www.inkjettips.com

    Sia’s Breath Me Polaroid Music Video



    Sia - Breathe Me from ccameron842 on Vimeo.

    Following up on our recent popular Polaroid-a-palooza piece, here’s a very cool polaroid-based music video by Sia!

    via Design:related

    The video took over 2500 polaroids, which would cost roughly $3,800 in film alone on today’s ebay market for film that will expire in less than a year (February 2009, the last batch of polaroid film produced).

    Collider has done some other fantastic work, including this Music video for Unkle, “Reign”.

    Hello Pixish

    I squealed like a girl in pigtails watching Hannah Montana in 3D when I learned Derek Powazek’s newest creation, Pixish, has launched in beta. I’ve been wondering since last summer what the site would be . . .

    Here’s the short version: Pixish is a new site where you can create image contests.

    But the short version doesn’t give the new site nearly enough credit for how cool the idea is, you should definitely read the long version.

    Looking for pictures, illustrations, art for your project, post an assignment. Looking for something to keep your artistic soul busy, submit your work to an assignment.

    Pixish officially eliminates any reason to complain that you can’t think of something to photograph (or create)!

    Photographing Democracy

    Polling Place Photo Project

    Super Tuesday is tomorrow and the New York Times is sponsoring the Polling Place Photo Project.

    The Polling Place Photo Project is a nationwide experiment in citizen journalism that encourages voters to capture, post and share photographs of this year’s primaries, caucuses and general election. By documenting local voting experiences, participants can contribute to an archive of photographs that captures the richness and complexity of voting in America.

    There are 22 states participating in tomorrow’s primaries, so check your local laws and participate in democracy AND the photo project!
