I’ve gotten lazy about attributions and I’m gonna fix that. \u00a0I will show my source for every photograph I use, not inclusive of ones in my photo files for which I do not have a source. \u00a0This means all the photographs or images I use in the future will have some means for you to track back on them as far their original posting allows.<\/h3>\n

Why Attribute Discovery?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    RESPECT & COURTESY<\/h4>\n

    Every piece of information we encounter was put before us by someone who worked to create it, discover it, or bring it to our attention. Attribution is about acknowledging that labor and simply saying \u2018thank you.\u201d<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT<\/h4>\n

    Ideas spark other ideas. Attribution lets us give back credit to those who have enriched us creatively and intellectually by exposing us to ideas and content upon which we build our own.<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    AN INFORMATION GENOME<\/h4>\n

    In an ideal world, where we all attribute our sources, an information genome would emerge and reveal how information travels on the internet. Understanding that ecosystem would help us evolve and improve it in the long run.<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    KEEP THE RABBIT HOLE OPEN<\/h4>\n

    The internet is a whimsical rabbit hole of discovery. Acknowledging where information came from helps keep the rabbit hole open and makes the Web Wonderland better for all of us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    Attribution 101<\/h3>\n
