Joi Ito: portraits of copyfighters

Submitted by keithloh on Fri, 2008-08-01 20:10.

Tech blog BoingBoing has a post on Joi Ito, who has taken a series of portraits of notables who are in favour of CC-attributed material. You can look on Flickr to see the whole raft of the many many portraits or you can get the nicely designed book that Ito is working on due to be released soon.

Joi Ito explained earlier the reasons for this project:

Last month, I blogged about one of my new "missions" - to take photographs of people and post them under a CC-BY license so that Wikipedians and other people writing articles have access to photographs that they can use in articles. There is a problematic lack of usable photos of most people as any Google Image search will prove. I've been talking about this a bit more and Larry suggest we start a "freesouls" movement to encourage people to post take and post their photos under a free license.
