Stolen Wave and Brooklyn Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

He has been at it again! For those of you that don't know the score I posted another "image" 2 days ago that had been created using a wave photo stolen from me and then claimed to be the sole work of someone called John Wilson, this one is another that he has stolen. The response of the Flickr community has been mind-blowing, I have received well over a thousand emails and comments of information and support, please bear with me while I go through them all and I will respond to those of you that have made such an effort on my behalf.

My original work is here:

Below is a re-post of the text attached to the original upload.

This is one of my photos that has been stolen and used with an image of the Forth Bridge (probably also stolen) by a guy from FreakingNews. In FreakingNews he is called "johnx1" and he has posted there:

"My email and phone are going mental with orders for prints from all over the world and I just got a request to use the image from a science fiction mag who want it on the cover of their next issue."

I have written to him, but he has not replied, so if you know him, he's from Rosyth, Kingdom of Fife, Scotland, and describes himself as a "joiner carpenter, artist and writer", let me know please. If you see this image turn up on a magazine or you have anything to do with FreakingNews and can help, I'd be grateful.

Please feel free to fave or comment on this image, the more of you that do will mean the more people will get to see it and I have a better chance of nailing this thieving SOB.

Finally, a big thank you to "Kellie-MJ" from Flickr who alerted me to this theft.
