Fotografar para Sempre


The Fotografar para Sempre it's my web log. It was created to help me study the work of other photographers. It's just another way to play with photography and learn from others. It is written in Portuguese.


Resume of the last articles in the blog:







Wikimedia Commons

Imagine a website with more than  100.000 images that can be used in other projects, by other persons and companies. Images that can be used legally, at zero cost, and without the need to ask permission; for commercial and non-commercial purposes.


It's only required that you giver credit to the photographers or designers who produced the photos in the projects that include them. Some images can only be used in projects that are licensed under a specific license. Projects that grant this same rights to its users.


Most images you can find in Commons are "information-type" images. It's purpose is to be used in encyclopedias, educational books and news stories.


All images I post in the "Wikimedia Commons" are licensed under "Creative Commons", and they can be used to commercial and non-commercial purposes.  However they can't be used in projects under copyright that do not have a free license, one that is similar to the
license I adopted.

Wikipedia

The biggest online encyclopedia is free. Free to read, free to copy and free to improve its content. The Wikipedia does not show advertising, and it's an excellent source of information about everything. 


Wikipedia works thanks to thousands of volunteers (297076 in the
English language and 10309 in the Portuguese language) I'm just one more.



366 Photographs on the Beach

Its a wiki book to select 366 photographs made on the beach, the selection criteria is mostly aesthetic. All the 5 continents are represented.


Every photograph must have a free license, so it can be used for free in other projects either commercial or non commercial. However any project that uses them has to be licensed with a free license, and it has to display the photographers name.




Dmoz

The Open Directory Project is the biggest directory of  websites in the world edited only by humans. It covers any subject in practically any language. It has about 4 million links to websites cataloged in half a million categories.

Dmoz is totally run by volunteers and its content is free. Websites like
Google and Alexa use contents of dmoz.
I edit the categories of Art and Entertainment related to Portugal, in Portuguese language.
