So today at 6 am I went to where I thought a bus was going to take me to Rhode Island to campaign for Obama.  Unfortunately I was given the wrong information and the bus was not there.  So my friend Sam and I decided to watch the sun rise over the Empire State Building which was pretty amazing and we just sat on a bench outside of Macy’s and watched people go to work.  Then we took the F train to Delancy and walked over the Williamsburg bridge.  It was a pretty great way to spend a morning.  After that I got a bit of sleep and then decided to be productive.  I scanned a ton of polaroids for this book I am working on and uploaded a ton of my photos of bands and notable people to Wikimedia Commons which is a dump of thousands and thousands of media files that are usable under Creative Commons licensing so that anyone can use them for a variety of projects depending on the specific license.  My photos have a Attribution Share Alike license which basically means that if you use one of my images you have to credit me, and whatever you use it for has to be covered by a similar Creative Commons license.  The immediate goal for me is to get a lot of my images on Wikipedia and replace some of the really bad images that people have uploaded and make the wiki more useful and prettier.  Fun.

Anyway, here you can see a list of my images.  Also, there are several errors with my images because I am too dumb to understand how to work Wikipedia properly.   Hopefully people will make good use of these images.  I am pretty excited about it.  Also, if you see an image from my site or my Flickr page that you would like made available under a specific CC license let me know.
