I post many of the pictures to Flickr, as the site’s a great service and it supports geotagged photos taken with my GPS camera. With the exception of pictures of family and friends, all of my pictures are public and licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution, Noncommercial, Share Alike license. This allows anyone to use my photographs for most uses, explicitly non-commercial use, provided they note that I am the source of the image.

The Nipper Building in Camden

Nipper Building, Camden

I’ve been organizing my digital photography library and posting some of my better pictures to flickr. The “Urban Design” collection highlights pictures that illustrate important urban design principles. I plan on using these photos for the future planning classes at Rowan, but you’re welcome to use them too, as I’ve released them under a CC BY-NC-SA license.

Oh, and many of the photographs have been geotagged, either manually or through GPS records. I’ll be adding older photographs when I get time and new photos as I take them.
