The Birds by Corey Arnold
This is an example of stuff that makes me angry (I mean no offense to Sara Wood: she merely posted this photo because she liked it)
See this pretty photo above? This is a photo from Corey Arnold, although you wouldn’t know it unless you have seen it before. Luckily I’ve been a big fan of his work for several years now, and I recognized it.
What happened is this person created a Flickr account, which they use to post images from other people. Now, no credit is given on most of the images on that account. It isn’t until you view their profile you find they say they give credit when posting to their blog. Maybe they do, but I’m not going to go hunt it down.
The problem is, someone whom hasn’t seen this photo before comes across it on Flickr, thinking that “heylove” is the original artist. So then the photo makes the blogging rounds pointing back to them and they get all the credit.
Unfortunately this is the crap we deal with by posting our images in public, and there is little that can be done. That is why it is up to us whom post or blog people’s work to be HONEST & DECENT human beings.
