So today, while reading Zoë Marriott's blog, I realized two things:

1. Zoë Marriott does not look the way I have always pictured her, which is, I suddenly realize, like Zoë from Firefly. Now it makes sense! I was like, "Why did I just assume she looked like that?" But obviously it is a mystical Zoë connection.
2. Zoë Marriott has made a Pinterest

I've heard some discussion about it, too. And I do believe photographers should get to control their own images. I've seen photographers writing about how it's unfair that people expect to get their work for free. One pointed out that it's rare for people to expect anyone outside of certain creative fields to do her or his job without getting properly paid for it. As a writer, I wouldn't want to publish something and then have people pirate it, so I definitely sympathize with wanting fair compensation for one's work!

Plus, yeah, who wants to get sued? :P

Oh boy do I ever have opinions about this

Haha, I thought you might have opinions!

Good point about Creative Commons, as there are a lot of good images out there under that license. I've used some of them (with credit, as directed) for things like book trailers and library posters. One could probably make a pretty good Pinterest board using just those images.
