Sometimes I do weird things - I look for my pictures appearing on other peoples' websites. I found one another day - the picture of the roof terrace of the Luis Barragan house in Mexico City.
It appears on Phillips Garden's blog with no reference to my website, flickr, anything. I am not asking for money, but this is not cool, right? And how did he get that picture anyway? My comment with a fair question of my copyrights he simply deleted. Out of sight, out of mind! It´s good I have my own blog! Ha!

That's not nice, deleting comment and not answering it.
Its a good compliment to your pictures though :))
Not cool at all!
I hate when people do this.
I think it's funny when people put their pics up on the internet for everyone to see and then get mad when someone uses them :)
You can watermark your photos. Or not put them online of course.
It's not funny to take somebody else's photo and present it as your own. It's called stealing.
