Author Topic: Often Used Stock Shot (Read 2052 times)

It seems that every time I see an article on elderly care, it has this image attached to it. I'm sure this is the stock shot I've seen most often in use online so far.

I can't see where it came from though, as all the listings for it relate to articles (I probably haven't dug deep enough).

Ah! Thank you. I thought it might have been 'one of us' - but he seems to be a trad pro of over 40 years standing.

Wow. I just did a Google search on the image and it looks like the same thing happened to this image to the images I took while covering the Aurora Colorado shooting. That image is EVERYWHERE (I found 68 infringements of my images and stopped looking - lawyers said under DMCA if it's a site that reports news and solicits opinions, then I have no chance in suing for copyright).
