Flickr Teams with Getty Images to Launch 'Flickr Collection'

Ces White‘s shot of a glum-looking stuffed bear on a deserted playground and the other three photographs above are among the 463 images tagged “absence” in the Flickr Collection, a just-launched collaboration between Yahoo!-owned Flickr and Getty Images. The new creative imagery collection makes select Flickr images available for commercial licensing through Getty’s website and “reflects the unique perspective Flickr offers as the ‘eyes of the world,'” said Kakul Srivastava, Flickr’s general manager, in a press release.
