Pick a Picture by Yourself

A standard Pick a Picture session involves being with others as you select images and share them with each other. Spending time with the images by yourself is another way to interact with an image collection. You can spend time doing this as a way to connect with yourself and to spend time reflecting and processing. Another reason for doing this is that you may want to choose images to share with others. It may help with being better able to convey things to others. Or, it may be a way to connect with someone more meaningfully.

Sharing these images:

• All images in the Pick a Picture by Yourself collection are ones that can be freely reused and shared. Many of the images are offered under Creative Commons licenses. These licenses require that you provide attribution to the creator when the image is used and shared.

• For images that need attribution, you will find the attribution for them near the upper left hand corner of the image. Copy and paste this attribution when sharing this image.
• For Wikimedia Commons images, perhaps the easiest way to share an image is to share the link to the Wikimedia Commons page for the image. You will find this link above the attribution near the upper left hand corner of the image.
• To download an image, right click on the image and select "Download".

Enjoy! Go to meaningfulaction.org/pictures to interact with the Pick a Picture by Yourself collection using a view-only Miro board. Because it is view-only, the only things you can do are:

• download pictures and copy the attributions that go with them
• move around and zoom in and out.

Contact Leeann at info@pickapicture.org if you'd like to have access to an editable version of this Miro Board, so that you can select images by copying and pasting them to a different part of the board and so that you can rearrange them. Many people gain a lot from being able to look at the selected images all at once and being able to reposition the images while they are spending time with them.
