Image search on Google

On a different note, I just noticed that Google shows some of my photography when “Stephan Wita” is typed in the search field and filtered on finding images.
This is due to some 3rd parties being able to browse through Flick’s database without restrictions, and thus showing everything that comes up with my name from Flickr.

Now, I have no objection against Google showing my artwork (after all, that is why I blog most of my work), however it also shows a lot of photography that is somehow linked to my name, but not done by me!
Due to some tagging by Flickr, my name is automatically linked to some images made by my contacts, or images I might have replied on. But as Google doesn’t make this clear, I hereby just wanted to point out that not all photo’s you see on Google under my name as a search-term are made by me… (the best way to find out which are made by me, is clicking on them to view)…
