overrated

formerly known as "i make pretty pictures" because as a graphic designer, that is actually what some people think i do for a living, this blog will now be titled, "overrated" for a variety of reasons i do not feel like explaining. the focus will be somewhat eclectic, though sports, design, the arts and pop culture will be featured more and more. because these are the things that interest me.

i took this pic last summer. i then posted it to my flickr site and just recently got a comment from someone that it has appeared on a website called thefairest.info where you can vote repeatedly between 2 given images. pick which one looks better to you and then you are given another set. this continues until you choose to leave the site. using some crazy math and algorithims, they also list a top 40 of the "prettiest" photos based on the user picks. i assume this top 40 is always chaging as more and more votes are recorded. interesting enough. and apparently all pretty photos are based in nature. take a look at the top 40 and you will see what i mean.

    Aren't you at all pissed that your photos are being used without your permission or knowledge?

    well, the creative commons i assigned says that you can use them you just have to give me credit. and the site does link back to the original so that kinda qualifies. so, no, i'm not pissed.
