KQED Article, other photo appearances

I had some pictures used in an article on KQED on Hilltop Mall. Check it out here. It’s a great overview of the mall, from someone who was actually around for the mall’s heyday, which I unfortunately missed. (See my last post on that.)

The reason these pictures got used is because I have everything on my Flickr account under a Creative Commons license. That means anyone can use my photos, as long as they give me credit. (It’s nice, but not required, for them to drop me a line, because then I’ll gladly link to their stuff, like I am here.)

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you ever need an image for a book cover, feel free to dig through my Flickr account. If you find something and ping me, I’ll even give you a high-res original if you need one. All I ask is that you credit me. (I did this for Ben Ditmars and his book Haiku in the Night. Who knew that me playing on my phone while waiting on my breakfast order in a Berlin hotel would be immortalized on the cover of a book.)

One weird result of this is that my photography pops up in weird places and I never find out about it unless I google my name, which I never like to do. Here’s a short list of some other oddball places where I have a photo credit:

• An Alaska Public Media discussion on housing
• The Meadows Mall Wikipedia page
• The Visit California page on the Chabot Space Center
• The Ten Best Restaurants in Maui
• THIS DAY IN BÉISBOL September 14: Miguel Olivo hits 3-run HR in first-ever at-bat
• 7 Unforgettable Attractions In Downtown Nashville You’ll Want To Visit
• U.S. 12 Heritage Trail: Where History Meets Adventure
• An article on KTOO about Alaska gas prices
• An article about music streaming data
• A Fodor’s article about ghost hunting in London
• An article on the JC Penney death spiral
• An article on the last Blockbuster (My Alaska Blockbuster pictures appear in about 20% of articles about Blockbuster)
• An article on the Handel/Hendrix museum in London
• A Freakanomics article about factory outlet malls

Anyway, there’s more, but I’m bored of searching.
