“You are not a dinosaur” began as a cooperative of 7 photographers. We took our name from a line in Bruce Holland Rogers’ (very) short story “Dinosaur” which asks how individuals cede (or don’t) to society’s expectations of becoming responsible grown-ups. This site allows us to bring to light artists, groups, and events from around the world that seem engaged in consonant thematic pursuits. T.W. 9.11.11 'You are not a dinosaur' on Flickr

"Useless, useless" again
In May of 2013 we launched a show about empathy, based on the last words of Lincoln's assassin. This group will fulfill our promise to bring that theme to a community garden in May 2015. Send your 8x10" photos to:

Monterroso's "Dinosaur"
I've found an even shorter 'dinosaur' short story- more terse than Bruce Rogers outstanding arc of a man's entire life in two paragraphs
(which set our group in motion)... "Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí." (On waking, the dinosaur was still there.)
Augusto Monterroso
So many real, magical things to share from the past few months, but this snippet will have to do for now. T.W.

accidental diptychs 3
Accidental diptychs happen when images in our online group images appear next to each other- despite the
random order, or wildly variant date they're invited in- that are
beautifully congruous, perversely consonant, sometimes just funny. Find more at flickr.com/groups/notadinosaur. T.W.
