Lately, I’ve taken many of the pictures that I’ve taken (or Scott or Jessica have taken) and started posting them onto Flickr.com/chadica. I post there for 2 reasons. The first is so that you can see the pictures and get a glimpse of what we are doing and seeing while overseas, and the second is so random strangers can view the photos. Flickr allows me to post photos under a Creative Commons license which is basically a copy protection of sorts. People can use the pictures, but not for profit.

The cool part about this is that I’ve been noticing other websites using my (our) pictures, and have gotten email requests to use pictures in flyers and brochures. An environmental organization in England used one of the pictures that Scott took in Antartica in their brochure. Another one of our (although we think Scott took this one also) pictures has made it onto Wikipedia.

I just received a PDF for a travel agency that used one of my pictures for their brochure. Although it was only sent out digitally, it’s still really cool to see a photo that I took being used in a professional light.

I took the photo that is on the first page of the Dome of the Rock.

Ironically of all of the pictures that I’ve posted….the photo that has had the most hits is this one:
