  1. For the love of sweet Jesus can we please showcase another, any other, photographer on this site?? At least once a week, usually twice or more, we get the same HDR images from Stuck in Customs. There are more travel photos out there. Yes, the guy is good. Yeah, HDR looks “cool”…the first few times. Even so, do a google and get some new contributors. Please…

  2. Ha! Point taken, Chris. Thanks for the input. You’ll be happy to know that there are no other Stuck in Customs photos scheduled to post this week.

    We’re always looking for new contributions if you have any photos you’d like to showcase.

  3. Hey Mike,

    Thanks for commenting back. What’s the point of criticism when you can’t follow it with a solution?

    Maybe some of the following sites can help:

    http://www.travelphotographers.net/index.html
    http://www.glimpse.org/index.php
    (Shameless plug) http://www.dirtybootz.com
    http://usversustheworld.com/
    http://www.gobackpacking.com/
    http://justwandering.org

    Of the above the first two probably aren’t in the realm of the creative commons, while the others would likely be happy to have their images included. Again, Stuck in Customs work is great, just didn’t think it deserved a nod once or twice a week. ;)

    Thanks for caring,

    -Chris

  4. You’re absolutely right, Chris. Perhaps I’ve gotten a bit lazy with the SiC posts because I love his photography and it’s an “easy” choice for me to post his work. I’m sure, for some people though, the wall-to-wall HDR photos starts to grow a bit tiresome.

    Diversity is definitely important. I have a pretty good relationship with 1/2 of the above bloggers. I’ll look into the other three.

    Honestly, there’s an insane amount of great CC photos available on Flickr, et. al. It’s just a matter of sifting through and finding the truly great pieces.

    P.S. I always appreciate comments – good and bad.

  5. Stockpile ’em or have some “intern” do it ;)

    Maybe take a different approach, and do a daily photo of a different country. Couldn’t be to hard to do a flickr search on everything from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe and lay out each day or week in advance.

    Either way, great site, and great work.

  6. Chris, if only we had the funds or the staff. Know anyone with an eye for travel photography who’s willing to work for a super awesome (not that I’m biased) travel website for free?

    We pay in six-packs actually. Spread the word!

    Thanks for the kudos, by the way.

  7. Just so happens I know of a guy that would be willing to help. Shoot me an email and give me some details on what you need (size, format, licensing, etc).

    Take care,

    -Chris
