A disobedient tool for taking unique photographs

[Diego Pigozzo]

Isis are working on that already.

Looks like they think that even people are over-photographed.

Are you advocating voyeurism?

No, no relation at all. Where I grew up the expression is used in a methaphorical sense to express rejection to a stupid idea or action.

Whoever came up with this idea should be publicly whipped

Wouldn't it be simpler to demolish the over-photographed landmarks?

No, I agree that a good flogging is in order.

Look on the bright side. We may not have to endure any more photographs of cats.

IMHO such a tool make as much sense as a tool that stops you from having sex in a certain position because "a lot of people before you already had sex in that position", which means it completly fails to consider that taking a photograph is also a personal experience (on just a social one).

Cats tend to move.

Getty Images has 2859 versions of Antelope Canyon, 4,000 images of Taj Mahal, and 2500 images of Rome Colosseum. It's about time to stop this nonsense.

What nonsense? Counting how many photos of a single subject there are?

Why so serious, Diego?
Not to offend the Lula readers, I never use those yellow funnicons, but most of my posts have an implied one. If you ever wonder whether I'm serious or joking, you can assume the latter. Keep smiling!

Are you sure I was serious?

Good to see that the great minds think alike.
Let's hope that the maker of the camera is also on the same wavelength.

As I said http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=103879.msg852896#msg852896, such a tool may make sense for some.

Do you think this idea comes from Saoudi Arabia?

Leaping in late, but as I note this is now a numbers game, here's a quotation from the BJP in an interview with the Image Bank as was: we have 36,000 images of the Eiffel Tower.

I think that was in the years B.D. (Before Digital). Imagine feeding in image no. 36,001 and hoping to rent it out for money.

Then imagine feeding it in today, as no. 36,000,000 to whomsoever took it over, Big G or C. And still expecting to be paid in money. But wait: didn't the tower people decide to make it a copyrighted property some years ago? Maybe you'd end up paying them for your efforts.
