At a conference in November I'll presenting a Pecha Kucha on Software
Craftsmanship, the manifesto and the ethics. Unfortunately I have run a bit out
of ideas so far how to put the statements into pictures. I tried google and
found a few pictures, but I am still missing the major bunch of pictures in the
overall course. If you have any ideas worth sharing with me, please go ahead.
If you're interested in reviewing the final presentation, you may also want to
drop me a note on this. Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards
Markus Gärtner

This Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/softwarecraftsmanship/
has a lot of photos. Sadly they're all mine but you're welcome to make
use of them. If you have questions about what's going on in any of
them feel to post a question on the relevant photo.

Another technique you could try is posting a list of the slides you
want to have and seeing if anyone here knows of an appropriately
licensed photo that illustrates the concepts.

Finally Flickr has a pretty good Creative Commons image search.

Flickr and Google Image search, as well as a couple of other sites have
options for searching for images, suitably licensed for commercial
reuse. The pictures don't have to be specific to software and/or
craftsmanship, do they? There should be a lot of images matching
keywords like "learning", "practising" and "sharing" for example. I
would recommend keeping them funny and engaging. I just did a google
image search for "sharing" and found a nice one of 2 birds sharing a
worm, but then I saw another one of people sharing a joint. I would
probably use the second one as it is a bit edgier and more likely to
capture audience attention, evoke a response, and be a bit more memorable.

I would also like to review the final presentation, although I suspect I
will be there to see it in November when you present it anyway.

Hi Kurt,

basically that is my driving idea. I also tried to look for daily businesses
where the laws from Clean Code apply. For example I have a picture from my
daily route to work, where a barrier is placed on the army's training course.
Occasionally I found in the evening hours the barrier open, but a sign in front
of it stating that the barrier is closed. This reminded myself on unnecessary
comments and the fact that comments far too often get obsolete and are not
maintained properly.

Kind regards
Markus Gärtner
