I have added the Library of Congress to my flickr contacts. I love their photostream! As of today, they have over 5,080 wonderful vintage photographs uploaded. My favorites are tagged rosietheriveter (i.e., Rosie the Riveter).
Our first media project in LIS 5313 was to get acquainted with finding pictures on flickr via their Creative Commons advanced search engine. In addition to finding a picture, we had to find a song to accompany the picture through CCmixter, a wonderful music site that features remixes under Creative Commons.
This image, Flood Dancing Couple-7, is owned by Flickr user Krypto. It is a picture of a couple dancing in the Stratford-upon-Avon floods (in England). This image has a creative commons license of some rights reserved.
This song is called Everything by Doghouse Riley featuring dripmanila. I picked this song because it sounded fun, silly-ish, and upbeat — just like the young couple in the picture. Despite the rainy flood water, they are out in the street, dancing and having a good time.
I found the song on CC Mixter. It has a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial license.
