Flickr Photo of the Day has returned! I’m only giving myself one rule: Only photos uploaded to The Stranger‘s photo pool in the last 24 hours are eligible.
Other rules I’m considering:
No kitties.
No Space Needle.

Flickr Photo of the Day

Is that the Pacific Building?
Hurray.
no kitties? boycotted
I love that building.
Yay for the return of Photo of the Day!
How about a kitty falling off the space needle?
I’ve missed this feature, especially since my pics have been selected more than once.
Great shot. It reminded me of an article I read in the NY Times last month:
Rise of Wind Turbines Boon for Rope Work…
How about ALL kitties??
I feel like the No Kitties rule is referring to me.
How about picking a different photo than Seattlest? It’s a great shot, though.

It might be nice to link the photo back to the contributor.

What about giant kittens on the Space Needle swatting at a nearly nude person?
Yes, what @11 said.
@14 – nah, information just wants to be free.
IP on your corporate copyrights.
What #11 said. Follow the Community Guidelines of Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne):
“The Flickr service makes it possible to post content hosted on Flickr to outside web sites. However, pages on other web sites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr.” Just because you copied it to a local server doesn’t mean you can’t obey those guidelines in spirit.
Also, while anyone who adds a photo to the pool probably understands that they’re giving tacit permission for The Stranger to use their photo on SLOG, you need to double-check the license on the photo and definitely give credit if there’s an Attribution Creative Commons license on the photo.
It seems like this should just be a policy from the photo department that is distributed to staff from time to time. I’ve had photos used on SLOG before without credit, and it’s annoying.
@16, I’ve been complaining about Slog’s abuse of Flickr for years. Nobody gives a shit. The photo itself is supposed to be a link back to the Flickr page. It doesn’t have anything to do with “corporate copyrights”; it has to do with Creative Commons and common decency.
no kitties? bullshit. why not no dogs?
Thanks for choosing my photo. For future posts, a link back to the user’s flickr page is always appreciated.
