(that's the nearest fit - and they don't make it easy, which in this sort of case they should.)

One nice thing about being a mediocre photographer is that you don't have to worry about your photos being stolen and ending up in a portfolio like that  8)

That's because there's a . at the end of the url.

You taklkin about me?  ;) I wouldn't know how to search if one of mine was in there, too much a waste of time.

What gets me about these stolen collections is the amazing versatility of styles and subjects. A chameleon kind of artist. And are these all stolen from iStock or various sources?

That link started to load some images, then it went back to the header, whitespace, footer like the other link. No problem, it doesn’t matter. By now, everybody and their brother has stolen my top sellers.
