Famous Fingers

Hah… a photo I took when I first got my 1st Gen iPhone made its way onto another technology blog recently. My gnarled hands are in beautiful contrast to my pristine, jailbroken iPhone, in this particular shot, LOL.

More than anything though, I’m proud and amazed that so many people choose to use my photos, and this one in particular, over and over again to accent their blog posts.

Here are some more examples:

Hey friends,

The following link is a perfect example of how making your photos available for free use (under the Creative Commons license) can backfire.. LOL. Try to find the picture of “ME!”

I just think that’s hilarious because even my close friends made fun of me for wearing that Bluetooth thing in my ear while skiing. In all fairness, that photo was taken last year and I have since changed my ways. However, I am happy to see that my photos are being used, everyday, to accompany editorial items online: Consumerist.com (a consumer empowerment website), Tech blogs and various other outlets.
