It was late and I decide to take one more look at a few things online. I
went to Fastcompany.com, a site where I occasionally find something
interesting. I scroll down through the home page when I see this photo of
mine below. I did a double take. I took the photo with my phone while
waiting for a meeting in a classroom at UPS in Tacoma. It was an iconic
classroom, with a real blackboard and wooden desks. I later added the ipad
just for fun. The image appears on my website embedded in a Flash movie
slideshow (Slideshow Pro).
I looked more closely at the full article and saw that the photo was
credited to Flickr user: The Greater Tacoma Community
Foundation.<https://www.flickr.com/photos/bethespark/7094916925/> I
was nominated for an local art award by the Foundation a few years
back
and they posted samples of my work on Flickr I had given them. The
Foundation slapped a CC "Attribution Share A Like" license on the photo. I
always use a copyright notice when posting on Flickr or the like but not on
my website. When I gave them to the Foundation for their use I didn't
include the notice. Maybe next time I will.
Not worth doing anything about but an interesting lesson in the many ways
one can innocently and with the best intent "give away your art" only to
find it used without true and rightful attribution later.

Oh well...nice to see that someone thought it interesting!
