Flickr Interestingness RSS Feed
January 24th, 2008 For some reason Flickr does not provide an RSS feed of the photos on their "interesting" page, so I spent some time building a script to create a feed over lunch.
Like my APOD feed it has flickr style enclosures that work with FlickrFan and other pieces of software.
The RSS feed is stored here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/seanreiser/flickrinterestingness It should be updated every couple of hours.
I have uploaded the code here http://seanreiser.com/files/interesting.php.txt The code is released under the GPL ver 3, and uses phpflickr (http://phpflickr.com).
Adding Media Enclosures to APOD
January 20th, 2008 So, like many other folks in the twitterverse, I've recently started using Dave Winer's FlickrFan.It's a fun little program and where it's still a little rustic, it is an excellent product with a lot of potential. The concept of automagicly pulling down photos from flickr, the AP wire and other feeds for my screen saver / desktop / where ever else I want to see them has been great.

Creative Commons is Good for Photography
August 20th, 2007 Was reading the article "Creative Commons is Bad for Photography" this morning and I wanted to take an opposing view.
The article uses the example of Virgin Mobile taking Creative Commons off of Flickr and using it in advertising without asking permission first. While this sounds awful, one has to understand how Creative Commons (CC) works. CC is a copyright license that allows the copyright holder to restrict certain rights.

An Open Letter Regarding NYC's Proposed Changes To Permit Requirements for Photography
July 23rd, 2007 Edit4 8/1/2007 - There is a protest in Union square tomorrow 8/2/2007 from 11:30 AM til 2PM. Look here for more info.
Edit3: Followup article here (http://seanreiser.com/node/112)
Edit2: 7/30/2007 Obviously I cut and paste my rough draft in here (I know I corrected the affect / effect thing before sending the final draft). When I get home I'll replace it with the final draft (there were some other changes in there I want to include).
Edit: 7/30/2007 I have made this sticky for the rest of the week to bring attention to the issue.
Recently, the Mayor's Office of Film and Broadcasting proposed new rules regarding photographers. The proposed rules would require a permit for "activity involving a tripod and a crew of 5 or more people at one site for 10 minutes or more" (the 10 minutes include the time to set up the tripod) or or the same activity among two people at a single site for more than 30 minutes. The permit process also requires the photographer to carry 1 million dollars in liability insurance. Although the city believes that this is rare for "recreational" photographers, most amateurs I know would require a permit a good percentage of the time.
