Dear Balloon Friends just to give you a heads up Larry Richard Noe on Facebook has stolen about 30 of my pictures and posted them in his balloon art album.  I reconized several other pictures that could be your work on there as well.  He is not even giving credit to the artist and in the comments people compliment him and he takes the credit.  Please check it out and see if your stuff is on there too.

I tried to have a look but when I clicked on photos I got this message up; "Larry only shares some information publicly"

I remember a thread along similar lines not all that long ago. I don't think the problem will ever go away :(

I also tried to look at the photos, and it said they were only viewable by his friends.......for some reason I don't think I will be sending a friend request !!!!!
Kind regards
Kevin

Sadly, Kevin is right...  the problem of image theft will likely never go away.  Take heart in the fact that people who do this will eventually build up enough bad karma that they'll pay for their thievery.

I sometimes forget, but I try to remember to put a watermark on my photos.  It's hard for someone to take credit for my work when "Crazy Chris" is in the background of the image.   ;)

Just a suggestion...

It now says he has no photos.

He didn't before, either, so he "borrowed" photos from other people!  LOL!

Looks like he took 'em offline.  Glad to hear it!
