How to Find Original Sources of Uncredited Flickr Images
If you have ever come across an image from Flickr that does not link back to the original Flickr page or indicate the photographer in any way, you know how frustrating it can be trying to track down the original artist on the basis of a nearly unreadable Flickr URL. The standard URL construction for stand-alone Flickr JPGs is a basically a random alphanumeric string that does not link back to a particular user in any obvious way. Thanks to some web tools, however, finding the original artist is easy.
