In The Moodstream?
Getty Images, “the man” of the photo world, just launched a service called Moodstream.
Basically, it creates a slideshow of their images based on your input across five ranges of moods. Complete with music, it provides something that might be nice background at parties, or could double as a screen-saver replacement.
I got the tip on this one from my good friend, photojournalist and veteran internet newsman Hart Van Denberg at Hart Up North.
What’s the nuance?
I’m not sure there is any… maybe it’s just a pointless deployment of technology. It is interesting to wonder about who got to choose whether a photo is happy or sad.
