Just hanging around waiting for Halloween, October 21, 2006. Photo by Sandra Hemstock

Sandra, My name is Ira, WS account idelsoni. I have just discovered that one of my photos, Baa Baa Black Sheep, the creative challenge - wood winner was stolen (for the second time) by a WS member. This member posted my photo on his/her FlickR account. I have dealt with it and this person has removed my photo from FlickR. Why am I telling you this? I just learned that this same WS member stole this photo and posted it (without even changing the caption) on his/her WS account. I have already been in touch with Jessica and someone named Belynda who was going to deal with this issue. I believe that Belynda has dealt with the issue because the link to the "stolen" photo is now dead. In addition, a search on webshots for this person's 2 accounts shows no hits. Please go to the following URL on FlickR - http://flickr.com/photos/niwarraich/ and see if you recognize any of the photos. If you think you do and you know the orignal maker let them know. Many of these images can be traced back to the originals on Webshots. Best Regards, Ira Idelson
