Apparently I am a Freesoul…

Last year I was contacted by Joi Ito, asking for permission to use one of his pictures of myself in a photo gallery book he was putting together. The book was Freesouls and the aim was:

…to put together a photography book which is about all of the inspirational moments and inspirational people from the last year. I have been lucky to be able to capture many of those moments in my photography and I am hoping that a book will be a good way to provide context for and share those moments with a wider audience of people.

Here’s one of the pictures in the collection of someone that you just might recognise…

Ewan Spence, by Joi ItoThe picture was taken at Le Web 2007, and it’s one of the better ones of me from that period (there’s a reason I like audio podcasts). The goal is to prove that even though all the images in the book are licensed via Creative Commons, the artist (here it’s Ito, but it could easily be anyone else) can still make a living.

An admirable goal, and the CC crowd wait to read about the results, presumably to be posted on Joi’s blog first.
