I've been reading a lot of books on the subject and I included several quotes from them in my presentation. I spent hours searching for photos to match up with those quotes. It's really a great feeling when you find the perfect image to match a good quote. And, like you say, it often is an image that you find after you have exhausted all of the obvious searches.

Thanks for sharing both your and other interesting snippets. Why do I feel a nearly-overwhelming urge to make some of these myself?

I tried, and bummer, Google Reader keeps saying "Oops there is a problem-try later." I don't know if it is a feed problem form Flickr or a feed issue with Google Reader, but if delicious this or bookmark here I'll forget. Hopefully I can subscribe soon. But again, thanks for pointing me to the other one, and sharing yours as well. You rock!

I think there's a lot to be learned to build a powerful message using simple bits- a cc photo, a quote, and some text commentary... I am thinking there are some great assignments one can develop for students to do this. And you can make it happen all inside flickr with cc commons search, PicNik! Hey Dean,
