The Digital Photo Dilemma: What happens to all those pictures we take?
We snap countless photos every single day and on every trip we take. But once the moment passes, how do you treat or reuse your photos?
Instead of letting them gather digital dust on my hard drive, I decided to try something different. While I regularly use my own shots in my presentations, I’ve started hand-picking a few of my favorites for some years and hosting them on #Unsplash – completely free for anyone to download.
Then, the experiment began…
I am always curious about how other people perceive and appreciate my photography. I realized the best way to find out is to see exactly how they use my photos out in the wild on their own blogs, articles, or websites.
By making these photos freely available to other netizens, I can trace their journey across the web and see the unique, creative contexts they end up in.
I recently did another deep dive to see where my images have traveled, and it’s been incredibly rewarding. Here are the results of my latest Google Image search! 👇
