Today’s LotD selection is about the spirit of permission and idea spreading.

GrowWear’s lens Homeless in America features powerful black and white photos and quotes from photographer Tom Stone. “All images are from American Poverty, a set of 186 photographs of the homeless and poor in San Francisco. Ten images are presented below along with Tom’s commentary about each one.”

She uses the content with his permission, generously organizing the highlights for a whole new crowd of readers. Because she thought it was important. Because she was affected by Tom’s work. Because she wanted to get it in front of more people.

Think about what happens when you give your fans the platform, the freedom and the power to quote from, point to, ‘top 10′ (yes it’s a verb), highlight, spotlight, excerpt, mashup, recommend, talk about your content.

What happens when you make something great. And then give your fans room to run.
