So I decided to pick some random photos from Flickr.

Hong Kong temple
When I was on a biz trip in Hong Kong, I stumbled upon a couple of temples in Central, one of which is the following of Man Mo Temple.

Chinese temple

Another Hong Kong Temple
Another one was the Tin hau temple, dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea.

I never had a photo used in some piece of work before, it was all very exciting. We then went onto a discussion of public usage of photos online which then stumbled upon the Creative Commons license. Essentially it is a set of licenses with various levels of restrictions that a person may choose to place on their work to protect it.

There are many licnese are available and I chose to have:

    Attribution - All works need to have credit back to me, so all photos taken from my Flickr gallery needs to have a link back with some love/respect thrown in :)
    NonCommercial - No you can;t make money off me....except if you pay me!
    NoDerivs - No work can be derived from photo, so no hacking it apart

On Flickr you can access this by:
- You->Your Account
- Privacy & Permissions tab
- Clikc on "edit" of What license will your photos have

Dave also kindly pointed out that there were many people out there who hunt for stuff under the creative commons license. So if you fancy having more of your Flickr stuff in the world of work. Go for it!
