First I was nominating these for discussion about the contradiction of a CC-BY-3.0 license and the statement "Use of these images is permissible as fair use." in the description. However, after noticing the inconsistent photography style and low resolution, I think this is a case of (unintentional?) license laundering. Especially considering https://haleyalincak.wordpress.com/about/ where Yalincak says: "This blog is just to share [...] interesting photos I have found online", admitting that Yalincak is probably not the author of all photos.

I'm pretty sure these are all copyright violations. Most of his blog seems to be copyright violations. For example at [1] he reproduces an entire story from the New York Times and says "This story was shared from the NY Times page and link above. I do not own the copyright to this work." It seems very unlikely the Times gave him permission to publish this. I have republished news stories myself. The original organization always requires that you add some words like "reproduced by permission of the NYT". And I can't imagine NYT giving permission for this.
