This is a post that was brought to my attention from another board. The poster did not take the photo, he did not mention that he did not take the photo and did not give credit to the person who did. When you read the post the credit is still vaguely given to someone named "Conan". A proper photo credit should include the first and last name of the photographer, and reference to the date the photo was taken is actually preferable to the way that I generally do it.

To Conan, whoever you are. It is a very nice shot. If I was someone looking to use this photo in a publication, with some compensation involved, I would have a vague idea of how to start tracking you down if Terry had given you proper credit.
