just say yes…

Google Reverse Image Search
The night before last I decided to do a reverse look up of some of my images i haven’t checked on in awhile. There are images that i have that people have taken them off my websites and manipulated them to their liking. Some have even cut out my copyright and added their own. Tumblr and Pinterest seem to be popular places for these images. I once had to sue a company for illegally using a photograph of mine but that’s as much as i can say as in order to get the money for the image i had to sign a disclosure that i will never mention it for the rest of my life.
So google reverse image search is my friend to say the least.
Never however have I came across someone using one of my photos to sell personalized items on Ebay. Just because you’re in the UK guy (mon memories) doesn’t mean I wont find out. As you all know I sell a meerkat chistmas card on zazzle.com and redbubble.com. I took this photo of these meerkats at the zoo, than added santa hats to them later.
This ebay user has decided to swipe my photo and use it to make money.
As of today.. 21 mugs have been sold.
And there is a pillow too.
So i contacted eBay and reported the seller two days ago, but I haven’t heard back yet.
Anyway the point of this is, if you’re a photographer and you have some popular images in your collection, just check on them from time to time.
Also, I dislike very much evil people.
A dry day in the forest
means mosquitos and flies. never again will i go to the Hoh Rainforest without it actually raining! 😀 I have more to upload from this summer day in July; I’ll get to it tomorrow !
Pictures lost on a faulty hard drive
I havent quite found these pictures yet on the externals and cds but hopefully i will come across them. It was another trip up to Hurricane Ridge a couple months ago. These I got off my facebook page!
First snow in the mountains
I’m going to have to get up there and see what it looks like. Today there was so much snow to look at!
Foggy Night on the hook
We were having a super foggy night and i decided to drive out to Ediz Hook to check out the scene. Basically you couldnt see two feet in front of you so it was a bit of a failed experiment. But did get one pretty picture from the venture.
Fall Foliage
I drove down Deer Park Road for the first time ever and ended up turning around at the park entrance. I got a few pretty shots of the fall foliage though on the way up. I will have to see if my tiny sports car can make it on the gravel road next time.. maybe.. Or I should get a ride in someone’s vehicle.
Beautiful colors in the sky
I am absolutely horrible at updating posts on time
I take the photos yes, but i feel i need an assistant to actually make blog posts. One day I will find more time to get devoted to this!!!!!
I will say though in the last month, we’ve had a hard drive crash, had to buy a new hard-drive, than realized we didn’t have any of the XP cds with codes on them, so i had to go buy Windows 8.1.. Then my Iphone 4s decided to overheat one day and crack open. not too happy about that, I was told later the battery got overheated and swelled up and cracked the phone open. So had to buy a new phone..
So I did in fact lose a few months of photos with the hard drive crash, and currently all the other photos i havent posted yet are on a mix of two externals and countless dvds and cds. I will organize them soon!
Oh so ya, I woke up to an eclipse today! Wasnt prepared, but finally got a shot off through the cloud cover!
Hurricane Ridge Sunset
Drove up to Hurricane Ridge to get a picture of the super moon and instead ended up seeing a great sundown up there.
Oh and I did get 1 picture of the moon from the helipad at the hospital.
Louisville Kentucky prints 5 for $20
Hoh Rainforest
When i visited the Hoh Rainforest on my birthday this year it poured the whole time. and i mean POURED. I got one good shot from the day.. the rest of my pics look like that last one i posted 😀
Victoria Canada from Hurricane Ridge
I was up Hurricane Ridge Road on 04-01-2014 and it was a nice sunny clear day. clear enough to get a great view of Victoria Canada across the way. My 300 zoom lens isnt that great, i need to invest into a better one soon!
Sol Duc Falls
Tom and I walked out to Sol Duc Falls for my birthday hike this year in april. It was a magical place!
