Free Art and Martian Haiku



Writer’s Thought for the Week: Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~ Pablo Picasso

We know that pictures can really jazz up a blog post or an article, but how much time do you have to go out and take that photo or how much money are you willing to pay to purchase a photo? Free photos are available on the Internet, but read the fine print. Some sites include both free and paid images. Some images are fine for online use but resolution may be too low for print work. This article has 15 sites to explore to find the photos you need. This article is from November 2009, but all the links are still valid as of the date of this post.

Deadline: July 1, 2013
To raise awareness for the upcoming November launch of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution spacecraft, the mission managers at NASA invite the public to submit haiku could be added to a DVD that will go with the craft. Three haiku, specifically written for the occasion, and the name of everyone who submits something will be included on the DVD. "Everybody on planet Earth is welcome to participate!" You must be 18 years old to create a login email profile, and children are encouraged to ask parents and teachers for help. All haiku must be in English. Submit in the comments section of this article.
