sadly the shown pictures dont carry ANY metadata inside.
if you save a pic to your harddrive, there is no way of telling who, where, when, what. even our generic operating systems can search & find IPTC now.
i already contacted them about this issue, but maybe some mails more will raise awareness.
but it also is still very commonplace these days.. reuters, sports illustrated and more are still setting orphans free with every picture they put on the web. shame on them.

Funny to think that those photos are still only on-par with the medium to large photos in newsprint and magazines.

@Mr. Lucero, they’re REALLY small filesizes with no Flash ‘extras’. They should load bloody quick on any reasonable connection. We’re mostly past the days of photos using any show-stopper amount of bandwidth.

Pretty cool.

I’d love to see a format like this with editorial images (not just images off the wire).

When is salon.com or wired.com going to do something like this?

Big Pictures? The hell you say!

Isn’t that common sense? Big Pictures sell.
