Glad you found the collection worthwhile. I think it’s really interesting that Microscopiq approached the photos and videos from the standpoint of an artist and designer, and I found them interesting from the perspective of someone interested in the environment and corporate social responsibility, and you, on Global Voices, were intrigued by its open-source, free citizen media characteristics. Little bit of everything for everyone!
