Title: Often Used Stock Shot
Post by: rubyroo on January 08, 2013, 18:53
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).

Yeah, he is with Press Association and Corbis, but I cant find the image in his portfolio, which only has 102 RM royalty photos. Weird.
