Looking at his flickr account his blog is over at www.textbased.org . But thanks to redundancy (see below ;) ), there is more than one way to find his photos ;). Rob has this quote from the ny times - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/magazine/17play.html on his frontpage : "Taking Play Seriously "The most highly adaptive organisms, Gould wrote, are those that 'possess an opposite set of attributes usually devalued in our culture: sloppiness, broad potential, quirkiness, unpredictability and, above all, massive redundancy.'" Crediting and re-using should not be a problem by the way, the photo has a creative commons by- license, so crediting Rob should be enough (I'm assuming the artwork itself is in the public domain, since it hangs in a US state museum, but I might be wrong). Hi Chris,

“Taking Play Seriously

“The most highly adaptive organisms, Gould wrote, are those that ‘possess an opposite set of attributes usually devalued in our culture: sloppiness, broad potential, quirkiness, unpredictability and, above all, massive redundancy.’”

Crediting and re-using should not be a problem by the way, the photo has a creative commons by- license, so crediting Rob should be enough (I’m assuming the artwork itself is in the public domain, since it hangs in a US state museum, but I might be wrong).

I was wondering if I could use some of your images of wooly mammoths for a package that I'm editing this week. I'm primarily interested in the one above. I would give a thanks credit to you at the end of our program and if you'd like we could list your website. It would be great if you could write me back in the next couple of days, if you get this, and let me know. Thanks so much for your time.
