As I’m interesting in online marketing and photography I stumbled across these pages discussing Virgin Mobile using Flickr images under the creative commons license for a full scale advertising campaign. Yuck. Another exploitation of images in my eyes :
Virgin Mobile advertising campaign using Flickr photos, and the campaign in question (at least the online part of it : Virgin Mobile Are you with us or what? Campaign.
Maybe it’s about time I spent less time reading up on blogs….
Well it’s been a very quiet time on the blogging front for me…but I have been busy. I’ve just redeveloped and relaunched my new personal website.
If anyone has any leads on photography or writing work I’d be happy to receive them! I’m very keen to get out in the sticks again and off the beaten track. I miss expedition life, and being around different communities. Mind you, Edinburgh gets a bit different during the Edinburgh Festival! A lot of unusual characters – even more so than I see every day around the streets of Leith!

You know people are doing bad things when they have to create a publicity site to sell how good they are….. I clicked on an add for Malaysian Palm Oil….but all I can think of is the several long hours we drove through Sabah this time last year….and all we could see were palm oil plantations where rainforest used to be…
I managed to view the whole of the BBC Expedition Borneo series this week which was a superb reminder of where I was this time last year. We stayed at the same camp as the BBC used for their trip, but there were no helicopters for us! I’ve got photos of the boards they wrote up all the species they saw during their trip, and went on night treks like they did. It was superb seeing all captured in true BBC style. Excellent.
