That is a good question,I have a couple of answers, but the most truthful answer is, I am too lazy, hence me being here, and not on Tumblr. It would take the fun out of it to a certain extent, making it more like work. (Cataloguing/database/order is a big aspect of my work life) I wanted to do something a bit more organic.
I presume that everybody looking knows that I am not trying to take the credit for any of the images, even the ones that are mine. I do keep a catalogue of all the images I use in named folders, so if I really needed to find a source, I think I could 80-90% of the time
Also, I try to create a story or vibe with very loose parameter's within the pictures I use, I like the way it flows from picture to picture without words, giving people the space to take from it what they want
I also use obscure google searches a lot, sometimes a random picture will come up, with no way of identifying who it is by or where it came from. As a rule, I generally do not use Ffffound (my spyware tells me it's unsafe) Flickr (I find the interface tedious) or any other image storing website. Braindance is a labour of love in some respects, I enjoy the Braindance coincidence of the images I stumble across, and I try to reflect that in the way I present them.
I have tried putting a disclaimer at the bottom of every page, stating that the pictures are not mine, and if you want credit for a picture, or it taken down, please contact me. I have seen this in other places, and thought it was a good idea. The reason I have not done it is, *cough cough* I do not know how to! I cannot figure out blogger past the simple programs. Lame I know, but truthful
If there are any images you are particularly interested in knowing the origin of,feel free to ask, and I will try to procure an answer for you
hello braindance.
ReplyDeletei've been following your eclectic collection for a while now.
why don't you state the sources when showing all these pictures / illustrations / photographies ?
looking forward for a reasonable argument on that question.
