Asking permission on flickr is a no-brainer. Asking from a blog is typically easy enough with contact emails, contact forms, comments, or even a whois lookup. There is no excuse for lazy theft. Makes me sad too. It is flattering to be asked permission and on a couple of occasions I've even granted it (not ever without a paper trail, of course). At the very least, if a person cannot be absolutely certain of the origins of a work, then that person needs to move on to Plan B and leave Plan A alone. It's easy to be honest. Thank you CC :)

I know most of us who share our photography online would be flattered to be approached and asked about using a photo in a situation like this. Most of us just want to have a proper credit and a link back to us so other people can discover our photography. I'm not looking for money as much as I just want credit. Glad to hear that this ended well. I’m glad the problem was resolved, but it is sad that so many sites and individuals can’t take the simple step of asking for permission to use a photo.
