Photo use link love

I have over 10,000 photos posted to my Flickr account. You have my permission to use most of them for any reason. All I ask is attribution to me (“Richard Masoner”) and a link to Cyclelicious. It’s super easy, but most people still manage to mess up the terms of my license. I’m a nice guy so I occasionally link back to those online publications that I catch using my photos.

These links to Green Living Ideas don’t seem to work today, but they used a photo of a RideKick electric push trailer and another one featuring my patio container garden. Speaking of patio gardens, I dumped out the contents of my worm bin last weekend — this is two years worth of kitchen scraps. I’ll be planting stuff after the rain lets up in Santa Cruz.

  1. I will take you up on that offer. The first time I do, I’ll send an email so you can tell me if I did it right. If I can’t figure the email out, I’ll send it to Ed W. You have the same permission for any of my paltry few photos.

  2. You have a lot of great photos and I for one think it’s great that you share them under the Creative Commons license. I was excited when I found some photos of Coyote Hills and the National Wildlife Refuge on Flickr. I grew up in Newark and my friends and I would ride across town, out to the Wildlife Refuge, cross the bridge over Hwy 84 and ride around at Coyote Hills before returning home. Several hours on the bike felt like nothing back then.

  3. Thanks Todd; glad you enjoy. Coyote Hills is indeed a pleasant area to ride around — very nice to have that bit of nature in our urban midst.
