My photo on a Wired blog?

although not necessarily what i would like to put on my own blog, an interesting event happened today where a photo of mine, and one i took of myself, ended up on the Wired magazine blog here (for those unfamiliar, Wired is a kind of techie/culture magazine).

this is not uncommon to me however. this has happened to many of my photos actually. some of my pictures have appeared on a few random websites, including a few freegan websites and even on ffffound!, but the strange thing about this is that this is the first instance where they didnt take my creative commons license into play (basically a copyright on flickr so that people cant steal your photos) and just ripped my photo off without even giving me any sort of photo credit at all. i thought it rather strange especially since this is probably the first major website/blog to feature a photo of mine and you would think they would be better at this kind of thing being a major publication. guess not. anyways, i left a comment about it and the author of the article later said he forgot to include it when transferring his document from word to actual blog. (right...) he then changed the article to give me a photo credit at the bottom with a link to the original flickr photo page. all in all, i thought it more flattering than anything else, but odd actions in general. it makes me wonder how many of my photos are out there on the world wide web.



also, im very glad that of all the photos to use they chose my photo from moustache may where i have a fu manchu wearing my kenny rogers shirt for an article about how kenny rogers music helps victims of stroke.
