Last week there seemed to be something of a brouhaha about a company making the entire Flickr catalog available as cellphone wallpaper, regardless of license applied to individual photos. Not the smartest thing, but as I don’t make a living off my photos and put them all out under CC Attribution Share/Share Alike it’s not something that affected me much.

What was cool was right afterwards, firing up my ego feed, I find that a couple of my pictures from Maui have been used in a travel blog (another from Zihuatenejo got picked up last month as well). They used proper attribution and all, a minor and delightful surprise.

Beyond flattering, it was a happy Creative Commons moment for me, seeing it used how it’s supposed to be. The photos, for your viewing enjoyment and my own kicks:
