openphoto.net is a web site offering photographic resources licensed under Creative Commons licenses, launched by Michael Jastremski, a photographer and journalist.
Openphoto.net is comprised of two major components; The original 'legacy' version which is 100% the work of Michael, and the 'o2' version which was launched in 2004 and is user-contributable. O2 also includes downloadable source code and much improved functionality.
The legacy site is hosted by ibiblio and the o2 version hosted on a private web cluster.
