This weekend, my fiance and I made a trip to the Dallas Aquarium. She needed photos for a school project, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to take some great photos. Not too many here, but I thought I would post em up either way.
sh1ft.org is running a photography scavenger hunt… Basically, you search for 26 different things, and at the end of July, post your findings. Check it out…
Adobe has announced the America 24/7 project. Basically, all you need to do, is take some digital photos between May 12-18th, 2003, and then submit them. The idea, is to capture a day in the life of America. Sounds interesting, and I know I will participate :)
I have recieved many emails recently about free stock photography sites. Many people are wondering which stock photography sites to use, now that Zuadobank, and Unmondo are closed. So I decided to make a list of the stock photo sites I know of, and use:
Free:

http://www.intuitivmedia.de/
http://www.freefoto.com/
http://www.freeimages.co.uk/
http://www.istockphoto.com/
NOT Free:

http://www.photodisc.com

The National Geographic Society is putting more than 10,000 of its images online for print houses, media, etc. to use in their work.
From the Article:
The National Geographic Society is digitizing more than 10,000 of its hallmark images of culture, adventure and nature and making them commercially available worldwide. Based on IBM e-business software and hardware infrastructure technology, the new on-demand e-business solution will expand and enhance National Geographic’s IT infrastructure through a new B2B Web site.
As a result of the new solution, National Geographic is enabling customers worldwide, from advertising agencies, corporate marketing departments and international publishers, to view, select, purchase and download world renowned images directly from their desktops.
Well, I finally got around to updating my profile on Zuadobank. I am a co-admin there now, so I thought it would look a little better, if I had more than 1 image in my profile. There are a lot of photos up there, that arent on here, and you can download all 1600×1200 images of each one. Most of the photos from here I didnt put up there though, so some you will see, some you wont. Check it out here and tell me what you think.
Today, I found out that the royalty free photo site, Unmondo.com is shutting down. The url no longer responds, and thus, it is over. Check this thread at were-here for more info. In it, it says this:

Now, for the bad news. It’s time to say goodbye to Unmondo. the company that I worked for, and hosted the site for us, laid me off today. (departmental reorganization )I was shocked to say the least, but more saddened by the fact that unmondo is gone now, than losing my job. I’m sorry to have to give you all this news. The work here is amazing, and I’m downloading it all so I can hopefully put it all up again somewhere some day.
Thank you for all that you have given without expecting anything in return. The community spirit here is amazing, and so are all of you.
Hopefully, some day soon, they will get the site back up and running. Until then, visit zuadobank, run by Zeh Fernando.
Were-here is currently running the Photo Challenge II. Below you will find a link to my entries for the competition, and a link to the thread for the competition:
