…not that good at stealing

After my initial excitement caused by finding that people actually used the photo of my La Souvarov elsewhere online, I was a little disappointed to see that my anchor beard is only used once elsewhere — in a beard image gallery — and that my chin puff also had only been uploaded into a (different) beard gallery.

The French Fork, my half and half, mutton chops, short boxed beard, Wolverine and the Klingon were nowhere at all. Even the pencil moustache, my most searched for style, returned nothing. It’s almost as if people took the top photo from my site to give me hope and then never came back. Even the stupid galleries were avoiding me now.

Had I set myself up for a huge disappointment?

…stealing ideas

My favourite English language travel blog focussing on Asia at the moment recently had a series on websites stealing his photos. Dave managed to get three articles out of it (and more to come?) with too many examples to bother counting and even managed to include my face somehow. Then I thought I could do the same thing with just photos of my face, because everyone wants to steal that, surely?

In a once before done thing I’m going to steal his idea, safe in the knowledge that there’s no Google App that can catch me.

At first I thought this was going to be a one-off blog with a couple of examples, but then I actually had a look. Starting with my first beard photo, Google actually went to a second page of results.

So just who has been stealing my La Souvarov beard photo?
