    wow – another stolen photo to make the What's Hot list 🙁  Sigh.  Mine made the list after someone pasted a cheesy quote over it.  Hopefully the owner (Chris Moore?) reports her.

    It's trolling – she is a picture sharer – and has been doing this for a few days now… With new photos. Lame-o

    I want to tell her to leave.

    My new way to share….. Complain and paste a quote….. What's hot here I come… Actually we all should share each other's images and add complaints about g+ and place a quote… I wish it was that simple…

    I wish someone whose photos were reposted without permission would have her forcibly removed. These are bottom of the barrel type posters. Banal sappy sayings coupled with stolen art.

    +elizabeth hahn sadly nothing we say on that post would change anything….

    But yay for Google – they took down the other person's blog and profile in less than an hour from when I reported her.

    You just need to add an attractive female avatar to your profile pic, and you will be set +Brent Burzycki a lot of guys + her crap, and I see a variety of photographers in her comments and +'s who should know better.

    Yeah, how sad.

    +Cameron Siguenza I have watch the what's hot Page for some time and I swear it seems many of the posts are either totally legit as in I know the person or they are totally being gamed….

    I did send Chris a message on his blog letting him know it was stolen.  Hopefully he'll report it.

    What's Hot should be called What's Not Hot, I find much better stuff in my own streams.

  13. Brent Burzycki 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    Just hurts all of us trying to be good citizens… But you are right many there should know better or have even complained about it in other posts in the past…. Short term memory I guess….

    It is an epic shot….. He deserves credit… But more so it shows how what's hot is broken… Or maybe shows how we humans are broken…

  15. Elizabeth Hahn 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    Yeah.  The really crazy thing about my photo – it was shared over 200 times, but most of the people were only circled by a dozen others.  I am curious as to the metrics for what's hot.  Yes it was shared a bunch – but the total audience was still really small.  Probably even smaller than the number of people that have circled me.  Yet it still makes What's Hot?

    I know one thing I do not get it… Totally legit ones in there like the recent shot from +Colby Brown and then a handful of stuff that has a zillion + 1s by people with very limited followers or info etc….. Brent smell something fishy….

  17. Elizabeth Hahn 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    (refrains from telling you to check your armpits…)

    Yeah  – I did notice a pattern though – all of the people that I checked who shared it were regular +1-ers on a Daily Inspiration Page.  Maybe it's some kooky plan – but why?  Is there a way to generate revenue that I don't know of?  Some secret form of communication?  

    We did talk a bit about how photographer's don't share as much, and that the straight share people are usually what makes a post go viral.  In some ways that's good.  No matter how awesome an image is, I don't want to see it 1000000 times in my stream.  But I do want to see people new to me, so I do appreciate occasional shares by people.  And yes, I'm tickled if someone shares something of mine (legally), I know I'm being a bit hypocritical here.

    I just like to see credit given…. And if you share my stuff I will give you credit in the form of a thank you if you just give credit….. Seems so simple… I sure know I obey that rule….. I want to be a good citizen here and am not here to just get credit I am not due….

  19. Elizabeth Hahn 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    Yep.  This is sad – this is by the same person that stole this guys image.  https://plus.google.com/114629166287945343926/posts/bkDDy31jCUD

    What the …. that post is linked in her profile ….this is just strange

  21. Elizabeth Hahn 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    yeah – I think it's her page.  She has a lot of them.

  22. Brent Burzycki 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    I am.curious the thoughts the g+ team has on this type of profile…..seems like it could be not what they actually want here…yet part of me wonders what their thoughts are…. beck if we comment much more on this this will be on what's hot and both the shots can be right next to each other……that would be funny…

  23. Elizabeth Hahn 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    actually since this was a share of her post – i think it's just adding to her's.  🙁  But no, I don't think it's what G+ has in mind.  At least I hope not.

    Beautiful colour!

  25. Roger Kylin 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    +elizabeth hahn, so is she just posting all stolen photos?  I added her through a shared Photographers circle… guess I may un-circle.

  26. Brent Burzycki 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    +Roger Kylin stolen…. maybe or maybe not.. uncredited… it does seem is a consistent issue….

  27. Elizabeth Hahn 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    It's definitely not her photography.

  28. russ vallelunga 21 Aug 2012 Reply

    Is this even in English?  Albeit poorly so?  This makes no sense.  I'm not even sure what "Don't feel like to share something" means…

    //I'd definitely delete her.  The trending thing?  Yeah, redneck guys looking at her profile picture.  And that is all it's apparently worth.

  29. Brent Burzycki 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    Appears it was taken down…. 

  30. Will Eagleton 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    I did see her posting on someones profile and she was asking rules about sharing his work, maybe though because she got caught. She was also thanking a lot of people posting comments to her page about the photos, which is kind of funny because the themes and types of photography was pretty diverse, implying more than one photographer. As for her complaining, she either wanted attention, or wasn't well understood because of the language barrier…

  31. Elizabeth Hahn 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    She has a page as well – basically it looks like she's looking for people who don't mind if she rips them off.  Or telling her it's ok to steal other's work.  

  32. Will Eagleton 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    Sounds like a nutty person who is desperate for attention, but isn't resorting to "booby pix" to get it.

  33. Elizabeth Hahn 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    lol she blocked me 🙂

  34. Elizabeth Hahn 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    Although as long as they were her pictures or pictures of her booby pics would be a more honest way to get attention.  Stealing other's work is just sad.  

  35. Will Eagleton 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    I guess she's full of too much WIN for the likes of you! 😉 Oh well, eventually someone lame had to show up to G+.

  36. Brent Burzycki 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    She has one of the most epic sets of photos from the internet in your photos…. I guess the real issue here is G+ needs to implement a way of knowing if you work is creative commons… like other sites do…

  37. Will Eagleton 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    From her introduction it sounds like she thinks this is Pinterest.

  38. Elizabeth Hahn 22 Aug 2012 Reply

    Yeah.  They are beautiful – I wonder why her account wasn't closed like the other lady though.  It doesn't seem fair that the thief's post makes the what's hot, but not the original photographer.

    So strange… I think this image was removed but is back on mobile… Hmmm… Strange…

  40. Elizabeth Hahn 27 Aug 2012 Reply
