Good point, there was *some* level of curation involved, according to the the flickr blog article, brendadda.
This is a question I'm asking my students, to think about, "what will make their work *special* compared the millions of images being produced today."
The answer still eludes me fwiw
It always seems so churlish to say so, but I really deprecate this kind of thing.
Why does a major public-sponsored national gallery feel like taking people's work for nothing? I know people give it willingly, but still, it reminds me of much of the Musicians Union campaigns to keep music live and paid, and the inevitable impoverishing that will ensue from all this 'we are all photographers' palaver. We are not all photographers, ffs. Most of this stuff is rubbish!
Thanks. =8]
