@Mo Ma: Nah dude, there is excess love between me and the folks at Capital. I am actually going to be interviewing her sometime over the next week about moving back to Africa. I found it hilarious how she managed to fit in a Capital plug out of nowhere….

You sniggered when she said that they were the best mix of music!

LOL! That’s the last time you get interviewed on Capital FM!

@Miss OT: Yeah, this blogging thing is pretty cool so far. Hopefully over the course of this blog, I’ll help a lot more folk and make my living doing that.
Is the thesis done yet? Care to tag along to a session where we escape into the empty cliches, which we kinda think are cool that all join together to form the flick “Hancock”?

@akiey: Istockphoto is so worth it. I intend on buying a lot more istockphoto shots once the site is cash flow fluid, but until then, can’t beat Flickr

Thanks for sharing the info & the guide on the pics esp noting the Creative Common’s licence which many more creative folks should be using to their advantage to acquire licenced pics and to also protect their visual & written work.

Flickr is one incredible source for one of a kind pics as they’re shot by individuals through their own ‘eye’. I’ve been a member since they started back in 2004 while they were still in Vancouver, Canada (before Yahoo bought them & moved them to Cali).

istockphoto.com, you bet, they got amazing pics and I think the fee is worth it. Some folks get mad that most pics are displayed with a watermark but I guess they forget they could get the actual pics without the mark if they just paid up the few $$.

Always good to know you got plenty resources. Makes the site standout.
Back to you soonest on the David Kobia audio interview.

@akiey: I’ll definitely ask, and I am also very curious to hear about insights she picked up being an African who had to readjust to life in Kenya.

@akiey: Thanks man, first one to complement on that. I can actually tell you where I get the pics from. Two sources:
a) Flickr using the Creative commons licence, check this article out for information on getting great pics:
A Complete Guide to Finding and Using Incredible Flickr Images
b) istockphoto.com : Paid service with some ridiculously brilliant shots

Just saw your reply to the comment. That’s a great idea to reach out with thanks to the person who suggested the site to her.

How about giving Linda a taste of her own medicine (no pun intended) by kindly quizzing about that when doing the interview…hoping she doesn’t shy & pleads the fifth already.

PS: Always wanted to point out that your choice of pics for all your posts is always most fitting & you select jpegs rarely seen online. Wherever you stash them at must be a huge vault!

As a writer & visual artist, I take pics seriously as an effective communication tool (as you may have noticed from my now kinda neglected blogs). Keep doing your thing man, we’re watching, reading & following.
