Off Topic: New Resource for Free Photographs

Hi, all.

I, of course, forgot we had to post Thanksgiving week. That will be coming shortly, as will this week's post.

I didn't want to delay with this new resource, though, as I think it could be helpful as we work on Project 3.

Open Culture: The best free cultural & educational media on the web

And, specifically, a new article on Open Culture, which links to a new Flickr archive that boasts over 2.5 million photos from published books, magazines, and newspapers published in a 500 year period. The collection is apparently intended to grow to over 14 million images.

I became wise to this via Twitter and I've found some really helpful resources (including a photo of a Harry Houdini lego man…yes, I know it's awesome).

Maybe this will be of use to you, if not for this project, for projects to come.

Cheers!

P.S. If someone has already linked to this in a past blog post or mentioned it in class this semester, I offer my sincere apologies.
