Take a look at this image. I shot it last winter.

Then go to http://jordancarlyle.com/ and click on portfolio number two. Look at the third image down.

Look familiar?

Just in case it doesn't, I cropped the photo I took.

I only noticed the image because I received the following e-mail, with a cropped copy of my image attached:

Hey Eric,

I would first like to start off by saying I think you site is great. I am a college student studying architecture. well I came across you website a while and back and have been checking it out for a while. and one day I came across you're the photo of the sticks...I think that It is so cool. I have for many years collected pictures and have had them print really large on my dorm room wall. I tried to do the same with this one.but noticed that the PICS image size was only 1" by 1". I was really hoping that you would let me have the picture at a bigger size.so that I can add it to my collection of pictures. I really do admire your work.. I hope you realize I am not trying to steal it from you and say its mine. I swear. I just want to print it really large.. Well I hope this email finds you well..keep up your good work.. Can't wait to hear back from you. take care.

Mr. Carlyle claims to be an architecture student as well as the Director of Creative Touching. Busy man.

He can also add shameless image thief to his curriculum vitae. It takes real balls to steal another person's photo, sign your name in the corner, then ask the person from whom you have stolen for the full-res image.

Mr. Carlyle is lucky he lives far, far away from New York.
