thank you TinEye!

UPDATE! my photo has been removed from the website! huzzah!!

TinEye is a new image search engine that lets you search for a specific image to find web pages where that particular image (and modified versions of it) appear. I first read about it on flickr where folks are using it to find "stolen" images.

On my first try I discovered one of MY images (an all-rights-reserved image!) is available as an e-card on a totally CHEESY website. Ugh. It looks awful now, like something you'd see on an embossed plaque for sale at a kiosk in a low-rent shopping mall.
