Aside from using TinEye and searching through all the results, is there any way to find out who the original photographer was of a particular image? It's an image that I think has been around the web a lot. Thanks!

Sometimes the EXIF data is available and can be read with something like the EXIF Viewer plugin for Firefox.

Here's the link to the online exif viewer (dragable to toolbar) - http://regex.info/exif.cgi

Nice! I use the plugin for Firefox that used to work pretty well, but I like your online version. Thanks.

Ah, I figured out what the "Button bar" is. In FF it's the Bookmarks Toolbar. Works great!

There's also a very nice extension to Safari: http://phriedrich.de/?module=projects&options=&title=Projekte
