my photo

I took this photo when I wrote this entry back in July/2011. Last night I noticed that my image has been used on dozens of online career sites and various networking websites. It was even on one of Maria Shriver's tweets. While I'm flattered there is interest in the image, it feels a little invasive to see it in so many places without permission or credit for the image. If any of you photographers reading this have also experienced this, please let me know your thoughts on it all. I know in this day and age, once you post photos on a personal blog or website, it's easy for people to copy the image, but I wasn't aware how widespread it could get without being credited.
