In a dramatic turn around Yahoo owned Flickr have decided to cease selling Creative Commons licensed photographs through their Wall Art service. Bowing to pressure from many on-line photographers Yahoo have accepted that selling Creative Commons photographs went against the spirit of CC Licensing. So where does that leave “Say It With A Camera”? I have decided to bring back the CC license on photographs which appear on my blog with the continuing proviso that they cannot be used for Commercial purposes. Clicking on any photograph will generally link to my Flickr Account where you can download the photograph at a maximum width of no more that 1280 pixels, suitable for web use, desktop wallpapers, etc
