Another photo “published” sort-of, kind-of, in a wierd way I can’t say I really understand. Here’s a partial screen capture of the Chicago>Parks & Gardens “Schmap” page featuring my photo of a “Powder Puff Tree” (Calliandra Haematocephala). That’s cool, and they did ask if it could be used. I said yes with credit and they did give credit (see the “dadart” there under the photo). The wierd thing is that when they initially asked it was a rather generic request to use my photo from Garfield Park Conservatory in their upcoming Schmap interactive city guide books. I assumed Indianapolis. This photo is from the GPC here on the southside of Indianapolis (not Chicago GPC). But then, I suppose a tree blossoming in Chicago would look quite similar to one here… Anyway, it seems like a good reminder to not consider everything you ‘discover’ on the internet completely vetted for accuracy…
